WHO ARE WE ? Gentlemen Songsters come from a dozen communities in and around Lowell and from a variety of occupations such as engineer, corporate trainer, crane operator, funeral director, teacher, Boy Scout professional, custodian, salesman, retiree. Some of us are new to barbershop harmony, while others have been part of the tradition for 20 years and more! Our musical backgrounds are also varied in kind and in depth. Many accomplished musicians and many singers that are novice. We are a growing chapter of The Barbershop Harmony Society. We meet weekly spending much of our time learning and practicing good vocal skills. During the meeting we sing as a chorus, break up into quartets, and do some fun activities. The chapter includes a performing chorus of 15- 25 men that are enthusiastic about four-part a cappella barbershop singing. Weekly, we rehearse our changing repertoire of some 15 to 20 songs. We perform at a variety of venues such as folk festivals, nursing homes, hospitals, sports stadiums, civic events, and in auditoriums where we give an annual concert. In fact, in October 2004 we were proud to host the Northeast District competition. 22 choruses and over 650 men sang and entertained enthusiastic audiences in the Lowell Memorial Auditorium. We a happy to bringing this convention back to Lowell for 2007 and 2008. To assure that our musical quality is improving, we also compete in contests conducted by The Barbershop Harmony Society. We have been awarded "Most Improved Chorus" three times in the recent past. We strive to keep improving our voices, our harmony, and our fun by using learning tapes, attending barbershop "colleges", and following our outstanding director, Dan Washington Informally, we also
gather at our post-rehearsal
headquarters, Cobblestones Restaurant in Lowell, to share song and
fellowship. We enjoy our way of
"keeping the whole world singing,"
of fellowship, of harmonizing, of having music help develop our human
spirit. Simply put, we are what we sing because we love to
sing!
" It's great to be a barbershopper - especially
in
Lowell!" |
