Marked improvement

noreply@blogger.com (Eric Hoare) — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 11:39:00 +0000

Who am I to praise my fellow Barbershop singers. I spend my life criticizing people for singing duff notes, getting words wrong, sliding up and down like a skier on a slalom course or simply not staying in time with the chorus director. Well now I have to eat my words. For a month or two I have noted a marked improvement and as the assistant of the assistant choral director myself, had the pleasure of directing a couple of songs at a recent sing out in Newport. I say PLEASURE, because that is what it was, the tempo was perfect, the lights and shades were so clear, the performance was captivating, even the audience stayed awake. Poor dears.. It was a pity that DD wasn't there to witness it, even my poor old hearing aid went ballistic every time a chord rang. Repeat that performance at convention and surely a medal will be forthcoming but it will still need the commitment of every singer to put on his best effort, to concentrate 100% on notes, words and timings and show the big choruses what can be achieved. Once again lads, well done... and keep up the good work..

Lead rehearsals

noreply@blogger.com (Peter R) — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 20:17:00 +0000

We are up and running again!
Another worthwhile lead rehearsal was held at the Isle of Wight County Club on 26th Jan with DB (director and bari), PH (tenor) but no EH (bass) - perhaps next time?
Two more dates are provisionally arranged for 22nd February and 22nd March and all are welcome.

Our social evening

noreply@blogger.com (Eric Hoare) — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 17:34:00 +0000

Well, What can I say.. that had to be the best evening Wight Harmony has held since I joined. The humour, quality of singing and sheer guts were an inspiration, which goes to prove that with dedication anything can be achieved. I hope you liked my goat??

What a great event. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Louis for the idea and his organisation of the event. Thank must also go to Dave D for his hard work with the various groups. Finally a big thanks from Jacqui and I to all those who made it a memorable evening with their performances.

See you Thurs!
