It was a small group, but, as usual, we had fun singing. Mark, his other brother Mark, Paul, Gene and Bob attended practice; a VLQ, with a nice sound. We practiced the Star Spangled Banner in preparation for our July 5th performance on the Ross County Courthouse steps. We'll be singing for the start of The Great Seal Band's concert. We'll also do a few other barbershop numbers, since we'll be there, at the band's intermission. We also practiced a few of the Polecats which we don't sing regularly. They're coming along nicely. At Gene's request, we did Shenendoah. Even though it's "only" July, we started practicing some Christmas carols. I'm trying to talk Paul into letting us use the booklets when we sing, since they are such a pretty shade of Christmas green. Mark backed me up, since most Christmas carolers are pictured singing from music they are holding. We'll see.....

Interesting blog but what's the meaning/origin of the name Barbershop? Keep going and have a good time.
ReplyDeleteBob, I stumbled upon your blog by pure chance on the Internet, and the term Barbershop naturally intrigued me. Thanks for the reference. Now I've learned another new thing.
