2011 Fall Show Recap

Our 13th Colony Sound fall show was a success! Dr. Valentino's suggested love songs did the trick, despite the efforts of the quartet of divorce attorneys at Chatham, Cheatum, Chirpin, Chopin & Associates. It was a night filled with barbershop music and the witty comedy of the show's creator and current chapter president, Robert Kearns.

At the direction of Jeremy Conover, the 13th Colony Sound chorus rang out chords in our unique style of harmony even better than before in a show that warmed the heart of those in attendance.

This show also had an impact on those who participated in its performance. Our newest and youngest member, Henry Wadman, had this to say regarding his involvement in his very first barbershop show:

Although I have been performing for the past few years, performing in my first ever barbershop harmony show was a vastly different experience for me. As opposed to singing solos in theatrical performances, it takes a very different kind of skill to sing in the wonderful harmony displayed through barbershop--a skill that I am striving to achieve. I greatly enjoy singing all the great songs with all the great men in our chorus. One thing I love about 13th Colony Sound is the large generational gap shown in the singers. We have young teenagers (like me), men in their mid-twenties (the guy who got me involved), and everything beyond that, including some fine gentlemen in their 80's. Barbershop is a great and new experience for me. I hope to get involved in more shows, and stick with this art for the rest of my life.

If you were able to attend this show, we trust that you thoroughly enjoyed yourselves there. If you were unable to attend this year, we hope that you'll be able to attend our next show, and become participants in an experience of a barbershop harmony production.
