A few weeks ago, the Seneca Land District convened on the Roberts
Wesleyan campus to crown a new District Champion Chorus. The
Chorus of the Genesee won the title in 2001, so we were passing
on the trophy to the new champions. Congratulations to Batavia's
Holland Land Harmonizers. Great job, guys!

The Annual Show is just two weeks away. We've stepped up the
rehearsal schedule to make this the best show yet. In addition
to our guest quartet Metropolis, we'll also have the Spencerport
Swing Choir on hand to sing a few. You won't want to miss it!

Annual Show 2002: There Ought to be Music in Everyone's Home

Each May, the Chorus of the Genesee pulls out all of the stops
for a show in the Theater on the Ridge. All of the chapter's
quartets and a special guest quartet gather to put on our
biggest performance of the year. This year's guest quartet is
Metropolis, and the day of the show will be the fourth
anniversary of their crowning as National A Cappella
Champions! They have also appeared on Diagnosis: Murder,
singing with none other than Dick Van Dyke.

* Saturday, May 11, 2002 at 8:00 p.m.
* Theater on the Ridge at 200 Ridge Road West in Rochester,
New York
* General admission tickets are $15 ($13 for students and
seniors). E-mail <tickets@...> for

Guest Night

Guests are always welcome at all of our rehearsals, but a few
times a year we set aside a night to really give guests a
chance to meet the Chapter and the Chorus. You'll learn a
little bit of history, both of barbershopping in general and
of the Chorus. You'll hear a short program of both the Chorus
and a quartet, and you'll have a chance to do some singing
yourself. There will also be tours of Harmony House, our
historic building. Everyone is invited, so bring the family!

* Tuesday, May 14, 2002 at 7:00 p.m.
* Harmony House, 58 East Main Street in Webster, New York
