I just wanted to stir the pot here in the Barbershop Quartet Yahoo Group and let
you know that we have had more people joining the group. If you're looking for a
quartet, post it! Or if you can help point someone in the right direction,
please help them.

Don't forget about all the resource links here in the LINKS section.

We just finished out the District contests. Did you see anyone you liked? What's
the scoop on quartet news out there?

I am looking to join a barbershop quartet. I am a baritone, not not quite a
bass, and love to sing. I live in Durham North Carolina and would appreciate
some tips as to how I can proceed. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim Weaver

Jim,

I have passed your info on to the RTP Chapter. See www.generalassemblychorus.org

The Somerset Hills chapter is excited to announce the creation of a new chorus,
the Jersey Harmony Express.  The ensemble will be a premiere men's a cappella
chorus based in the Bridgewater, New Jersey area, the junction of many major New
Jersey routes.  We are embarking on a magical musical journey, steeped in the
tradition of the American barbershop style yet featuring an expanding repertoire
to include a selection of challenging contemporary works.    The Express is
committed to captivating audiences with thrilling performances and difficult
pieces while providing an enjoyable environment for its members.

The group will be holding an Open House on Monday, February 28th, at 7:00 at the
Arbor Glen Retirement Community in the Community Center, located at 100 Monroe
Street, Bridgewater, NJ.  If directions are needed, Arbor Glen has information
at www.arborglen.org/directions.php and they can be reached at (908) 595-6600.

At the Open House you will experience such arrangements as Engebretson's eight
part "Scarborough Fair" and Whitacre's "Lux Aurumque", famously performed by the
Westminster Chorus in the Choir of the World competition and their most recent
CD, "It Only Takes A Moment".  Auditions for the ensemble will take place in
March.  Those interested in auditioning will have the opportunity to purchase
the sheet music and professional learning tracks to these two amazing works at
the Open House.  Your purchase will be credited to member dues should you become
a member of the ensemble.

Jersey Harmony Express rehearsals will be held the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the
month from 7:00-9:00 PM as well as the first Saturday morning from 9:00 AM to
noon. The group welcomes all to attend the open house.

The Jersey Harmony Express will be guiding the future of a cappella music and
welcomes experienced singers to get on board what should truly be a one of a
kind ride.  Prior barbershop or a cappella singing will not be required but a
dedication to excellent singing and performance is a must. If interested, please
RSVP to the chorus at jhxchorus@.... For additional information, send us
an email or contact Win Winter at (908) 755-1089 or Charlie Ross at (908)
413-1122.
