Today was a special day in the life of 13th Colony Sound. One of our newest and youngest chorus members, Henry Wadman, braved the challenges of wearing a tasseled hat in front of a large audience, and became an official high school graduate.
Henry, from all of your fellow barbershoppers here in the Savannah chapter, we wish you our highest congratulations! We're honored to have you among us.
We also have a few other members who I believe are graduating as well--we look forward to celebrating your accomplishments as well.
Henry is one of the chorus members that tips the balance of our chapter's average age below retirement and social security eligibility. Henry, we are most thankful!
As young men, we find value in spending time with the older guys we sing with, knowing that they can teach us great volumes of things if we stop and listen. Henry is the type of young man who not only will do this, but he is also the unique type of young man that the old men also find value in learning from.
Barbershop harmony is about two things: music and fraternity. Folks, the two are not necessarily in that order.
On this occasion, as on so many others, the harmony of music takes a back seat to the harmony of fraternity.
-But don't count the music out: Henry placed his pitch pipe next to his graduation picture at the reception.
