Assuming you read this Saturday, May 11, 2002, tonight's the
night! The Chorus of the Genesee has been working hard to bring
you the best in barbershop entertainment. We're looking forward
to seeing you at the Theater on the Ridge. Tickets are still
available at the door, and this is a show you won't want to miss.
After the show, we won't be slowing down, as the International
Contest is less than two months away. We'll be going all the way
to Portland, Oregon to compete against twenty top choruses from
North America and Europe. After that, we'll be doing several
outdoor performances, including the annual Barbershop at the
Beach. We'll be singing the national anthem at a Red Wings game
once again. We've also been invited back for a third performance
at the Sodus Bay Lighthouse. We hope to see you soon!
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. The box office will
open at 7:15.
* Theater on the Ridge at 200 Ridge Road West in Rochester,
New York
* General admission tickets are $15 ($13 for students and
seniors).
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
