Looking Back on the March 21 and March 23, 2023 Alexandria Hybrid Chapter Meeting

 Looking Back on the March 21 and March 23, 2023 Alexandria Hybrid Chapter Meeting

The Alexandria Chapter meeting this week was for Metro Voices at Scottish Rite Temple (SRT) on March 21. The Harmonizers will meet for office hours and a social time on Thursday March 23,


Assistant director of Metro Voices Maggie McAlexander did the warm up session on Tuesday. Interim director Tessa Walker worked with the chorus on “It Don’t Mean a Thing” and “I Can See the Light.”


Dennis Ritchey set up the sound and Terry Reynolds was on hand to coordinate their meeting.


On Thursday, the Harmonizers were invited to use the “office hours” time if they personally wanted to work on their music.  Music team leaders were at SRT to assist as needed – from 6:30-7:30 pm – in the small lodge room. Here again, Terry Reynolds was on hand to coordinate the evening.


Meanwhile, Harmonizers were also invited to a social event at Lost Boy Cider from 7-9 pm.  It is at 317 Hoofs Run Dr. in Alexandria.  Membership director Jacob Broude was coordinator of this extra event for the members.  About a dozen attended.

Music team leaders announced the last call for entries in the  Cabaret night on April 26  as part of our participation in the City of Alexandria’s Spring2ACTion day of fundraising. Anyone interested in auditioning should submit a recording or let Joe, Tony, Terry or Tessa know that they are interested – this weekend.


Music team leaders are also eager to hear from any members who could host singers from the barbershop chorus, Heavy Medal from Germany, that will be visiting us just the week before the Louisville International convention. If you can host some of their singers for a couple nights, contact Terry right away.


Until next time – editorjack!
