Local mixed sextet Red Harmony is looking for an Alto!

Our new member would ideally possess the following:
* Experience singing complex vocal harmonies, one on a part.
* Experience singing solos in many different styles of music (most importantly,
pop and jazz).
* Experience performing vocal percussion lines is a plus.
* Ability to read music (sight reading skills are preferred but not required as
long as you can learn music fast).
* Arranging or composition skills a plus.
* College-level musical training is preferred.
* A flexible schedule for rehearsals and performances.

We are looking for another talented, fun-loving individual to join our ensemble.
To start out, you'd be joining us on a part-time basis, filling in for one of
our altos, as needed, as she will be preparing for grad school auditions in the
next few months. You would take over her spot permanently after she moves away
in the summer.

We meet every Wednesday in Sherman Oaks, with occasional extra rehearsals when a
performance is near. We have had a few paid gigs, and our intention is to
continue in that direction; however, our main goal is to have fun and sing
beautiful music that is both challenging and entertaining. We are all friends
and spend time together outside of rehearsals and performances. Someone who is
not only interested in making awesome, professional-sounding music, but also in
making new friends, would be a great addition to the group.

If you are interested in auditioning, please send an email including a head shot
and detailing your qualifications, background, and any links to clips or other
relevant online content about you to Nate George at jazzsinger1482@....

To learn more about Red Harmony, visit our website at:
http://www.redharmony.org

This message is going out to the contact addresses of a number of LA-area
acappella groups and choral organizations, and the la-acappella Yahoo group. I
would greatly appreciate it if you would make other acappella fans aware of this
event.

The award-winning documentary film American Harmony will be screening at the
Landmark Theater in Los Angeles (on West Pico at Westwood Blvd.) March 4 @7:30pm
and March 6 @10am.

Information and advance tickets for the LA screenings can be found on the
Landmark's web site:

Movie details:

"It's a battle of the bands, barbershop-style!  This is truly the must-see music
doc of 2009." - Chris Gore, FILM THREAT

"Inspiring, entertaining, toe-tapping fun! The audience literally cheers during
the film ... a crowd-pleasing triumph!" - SEDONA INTERNATIONAL FILM
FESTIVAL

"Compulsively funny, insightful and entertaining ... it's this year's KING OF
KONG!" - THE FILM TALK.COM

Every year, thousands compete in the world's greatest singing competition...that
you've never heard of!

AMERICAN HARMONY journeys deep into the ultra-obsessive, zany and heartfelt
world of competitive barbershop singing, where passion is only equaled by raw
talent, and the reward is not fame or glory, but simply victory.

The film focuses on four quartets vying to win the International Championship of
Barbershop Singing, in what turns out to be the closest and most controversial
victory in its 70 year history.

MAX Q is the heavy favorite - a superstar quartet comprised of former champions.
Looking to upset them is OC TIMES (The Heartthrobs), VOCAL SPECTRUM (The
Rookies), and REVEILLE, an aging foursome with two members who have sung
together for almost 30 years.

Every year, 50 quartets battle it out for the coveted gold medal, while facing
the pressures of quartet life - from giant egos to brain cancer and everything
in between. To win, it's not enough to have one "Idol" - a quartet must have
perfect harmony.

* WINNER: Best Documentary - San Diego Film Festival
* WINNER: Golden Ace Award - Las Vegas International Film Festival
* WINNER: Silver Lei Award - Honolulu International Film Festivals
* Runner-Up: Audience Choice Award - Sedona International Film Festival
* Official Selection - Nashville, Boulder, & Waterfront International Film
Festivals
* Nominee - International Documentary Association Alan Ett Award for Best Music
Documentary 2008

Sopranos and VPs sought for Voxel Rox, a Los Angeles CASA league a cappella band
with arrangements from old-school funk to modern alt-rock.

Are you a singer who likes to ...

* make percussive noises in a groove,
* scream like a trumpet, or guitar,
* vocally jam like an instrumental solo,
* work together to make a sound bigger than a sum of individuals?

Do you like Tower of Power, Red Hot Chili Peppers, or Talking Heads?  Lately, we
put together a Depeche Mode medley, Hey Pocky Way (The Meters/Neville Bros.),
and performed WatchaSay/Hide&Seek and Superwoman at the LA Acappella Festival.

Do you like making social statements? (After all, we are based in Venice!
Though, we have members from all over greater LA.)

Then, we are looking for you to join this a cappella band. We want talented
VP/beatboxing and rhythmic singers to help us lay down a
groove, and high sopranos at the top of the horn section, or searing that synth
line.

The Contemporary A Cappella League ( http://www.casa.org/league ) offers a
community of support. Our first gathering in Memphis summer 2008 headlined Take
6. ( http://vocalsymplosium.com ) And in 2009, we joined up with SoJam in North
Carolina.

Please visit http://www.voxelrox.com/faq for more about the group.

don't get a reply back, check your email filters or give Bart a call at

Hi everyone -

Machine Project in Echo Park.
This is very informal and hopefully fun for those who know this music and
those who have no idea what i'm talking about!
All ages/levels welcome.

On Thursday, March 18, an all-day a cappella music festival for young women,
Project Harmony,  is being held at the Pasadena Convention Center -- and you're
invited to come fill the hall with music!**

Sponsored by Region 21 Sweet Adelines, Project Harmony will present songs to be
sung in four-part barbershop style and include classes in vocal production and
showmanship. Participants will get to meet young women from across the
Southwest, sing together, learn performance skills and, at the end of the day,
perform together on a show!

The classes will be led by experienced musicians under the leadership of guest
faculty Dede Nibler, director of the Voices United Chorus in Fresno, CA., a
multiple international quartet medalist, and a regional chorus and quartet
champion.

And the best news: the entire Project Harmony event -- morning classes, lunch,
afternoon classes and the evening performance -- will all be free of charge to
the participants! That's a day of exciting, interactive music education for
FREE, thanks to our sponsors!

Upon registering, all the Project Harmony participants will get music and
learning tracks for the songs to be sung to be prepared for the day.

Participants in Project Harmony should be girls aged from 12-25. If they are
under age 18, they will need permission slips and a designated chaperone for the
day.

If you would like to register for Project Harmony, please e-mail Jana Gutenson
at jgutenson@... and request your Project Harmony registration materials.
And we look forward to seeing you in Pasadena on March 18th!

** In case you were wondering why we have spaces available at this great event,
we just found out that several schools who were participating have had to cancel
at the last minute as their transportation budget had been cut because of
California's budget crisis.

We would like to have the upcoming Los Angeles Harmony Sweepstakes reviewed and
are not sure whether somebody will post something on the newsgroup this year or
not.

We therefore offer a couple of tickets or a handful of a cappella CDs to anybody
who would like to write about the show.

We are looking more for a colorful, creative, informative, documentation of the
event rather than critiques but would welcome any and all comments and opinions.
It's a way of letting folks who didn't make it that evening to get the feel of
what it was like to be there.

Anybody interested?

The first year was a hit and now NBC's The Sing-Off is about to begin an
expanded second season. Dynamic a cappella groups of 4-12 members are welcome to
audition.

The Los Angeles auditions will be held on Saturday June 5 at:-

CenterStaging
3407 Winona Avenue
Burbank, CA 91504
http://centerstaging.com

The Harmony Sweepstakes A Cappella Festival was an inspiration for the Sing-Off
and the relationship continues with casting director Michelle McNulty being one
of our judges of the upcoming National Finals.

O Adventuresome Singers,

A completely different musical animal.

It's not about sweet harmonies.

Rather, imaging singing in the shower, but with clothes on, in a room full
of 70 other singers, as loud as you feel.

The Los Angeles area Sacred Harp singers will hold their annual all-day
singing in San Pedro, in the Angels Gate Park, on Saturday, May 15.

Details are here:
<http://homepage.smc.edu/russell_richard/fasola/2010%20regional.htm>

The event is free.
There's no requirement to stay all day.
We take 10-minute breaks every 50 minutes.
The best singing is the first hour after lunch.
Everybody has a "musical human right" to call a song.

Words are traditional but singers themselves represent a cross-section of
Los Angeles and we avoid talking about the words because we're there to sing
oh are we ever.

Most of you probably don't need any training but anyone who wants to have a
lesson first, this Saturday (May 8) there is a Learner's Group in Santa
Monica.

<
http://homepage.smc.edu/russell_richard/fasola/Learners%20Group%20Details.htm
>

Or you can drop in at one of my Thursday night singings in Culver City for a
crash course.

<http://www.hosorembo.com/>

Loaner books will be available.
$20 if you want to take one home.

Sing for your supper & you'll get potluck,
basses are not dumb,
they never grovel under the thumb
of tenors, it is said,
so sing compositions by William Billings
(bass with a tobacco-damaged voice)
& you'll be fed-
up with nonpolyphonic music,

David Olson

YO.

I need three to four STRONG male voices, of all parts.  It's for something big. 
Totally worth it.  We've got a month to put together a really tight sound.  It's
a co-ed a cappella group.

Shoot me an email if you fit this description.  I reiterate, STRONG VOICES.

Thanks,
Ben

Hello friends and colleagues,

To be succinct:  this is the probably the last Down 4 The Count update you will
get for a while.  Francesca and Andreas have decided to leave the ensemble and
their departure means a significant change for this ensemble - how and what that
is, is yet to be determined.

Fortunately for our fans, we will have one final performance of the current
line-up, at the Complete Actors Place in Sherman Oaks on June 13 at 3PM.   This
is a really great venue, and the $20 ticket includes an open bar and hors
d'oeuvres, all included in the price (although tipping the bartender is
encouraged).

Email colleen.keene@... if you would like to purchase tickets in advance -
We would love to see you there.

Sincerely,

Colleen Keene
(818) 281-1587
http://www.down4thecount.com

Are you practically a pro but donft have the time for a full-on vocal career? 
Do you secretly play your pitch pipe on your coffee break for an a cappella fix?
Did the singing bug bite you recently ? is that why youfre reading this?

If so - Sweet Tonic, a new mixed vocal group on the west side, is looking for
YOU!

We are on the prowl for strong singers whoc
*love different styles of vocal music, especially jazz
*have experience singing solo & harmony (1 or 2 to a part) in professional or
semi-pro groups, and can hold their own in tight, beautifully dissonant chords
*can learn a tune quickly, by ear/sight singing or good old-fashioned practice
*have a great sense of rhythm
*are serious about having fun with music!

Founded by an a cappella addict from Japan, Sweet Tonic is (or will be!) an
eight-person group of singers who love their day jobs but canft live without a
little vocal harmony in their lives.  We rehearse in Santa Monica from 4pm to
6pm on Sundays, on average 3x a month, with an eye toward open mic gigs, concert
performances, CD recordingsc skyfs the limit.

Contact us w/questions or to set up an audition.  If auditioning, please include
some info in the email about yourself & your music experience.

Thanks and hope to be singing with you soon!

We know what you're thinking, it isn't quite summer without a Red Harmony
concert, right? Well, we're at least hoping you feel that way ;-). Red Harmony

improv group, TEAM X IMPROV, opening for us!

Where:
The Whitefire Theatre

Sherman Oaks, CA

When:
Wednesday, June 30, 2010

We hope to see you there!!!

Hi everybody!

A friend and I have decided to start an a cappella group in the Northern Los
Angeles County / Ventura County area, and we're trying to see if there's any
interest in joining us for this new venture! We're hoping to be a semi-pro
group... which is to say, we don't plan to quit our day jobs at this point, but
we do plan to get gigs that will pay us once we've established ourselves and
built up a repertoire.

Important details:
We've got three guys at this point (bari, bass, tenor). Ideally, we're looking
for one more man to be primarily vocal percussion with occasional forays into
the vocals, and three women: one each of mezzo, alto, and soprano. If one or
more of the women also kick bass on VP, we certainly wouldn't complain... =)

Thanks!

Hey Everyone,
So you might be wondering, why take the time during your busy week to come see

Well, Red Harmony has put together a video, giving you reasons why you should
come.  Take a look - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLPRQ6aKV8s.

Regarding the concert:
Be sure to buy your ticket in advance! If you do, you'll get a $1 coupon for the
snack bar. Coupon and ticket will be at will call. Tickets also available at the
door, but no coupon!

Time Warner Cable's ON DEMAND service). While the group is still going strong
and continuing to make a name for ourselves, two members are moving on and we
are now on the lookout for singers who can match their incredible talent and
commitment to our ensemble, as well as join us on our journey as we prepare to
take the group to the next level. Check out our youtube page at

the vocals, and three women: one each of mezzo, alto, and soprano. If one or
more of the women also kick bass on VP, we certainly wouldn't complain... =)

Update: Auditions will be this weekend by appointment - we've discovered that we
also need a bass, so the total lineup of parts we're hoping to hear is:
VP, Bass, Mezzo, Alto, Soprano. If you're interested, please let us know at the
e-address above!

Thanks!!

We're a group of college a cappella alums looking for strong male singers
interested in joining our group. We'd be meeting every Sunday to learn and sing
contemporary a cappella arrangements.

We are looking for all parts (bass, baritone, tenor, vocal percussion)

Ideally singers would have
- a cappella or small group experience
- the ability to sing and hold complex harmonies
- powerhouse voices for wailing solos

If interested please e-mail me back at duriant30@... with a quick bio and
your contact information. Auditions will be scheduled soon and will take place
near Van Nuys. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon!

• CoachArt facilitates coach/student introductions, coordination of lessons, and
communication throughout the entire CoachArt experience

• CoachArt is always looking for volunteers to join our year-round program

The next step to become a volunteer is to attend a volunteer orientation.

Are you practically a pro but donft have the time for a full-on vocal career? 
Do you secretly play your pitch pipe on your coffee break for an a cappella fix?
Did the singing bug bite you recently ? is that why youfre reading this?

If so - Sweet Tonic, a new mixed vocal group on the west side, is looking for
YOU!

We are on the prowl for strong singers whoc
* love different styles of vocal music, especially jazz
* have experience singing solo & harmony (1 or 2 to a part) in professional or
semi-pro groups, and can hold their own in tight, beautifully dissonant chords
* can learn a tune quickly, by ear/sight singing or good old-fashioned practice
* have a great sense of rhythm
* are serious about having fun with music!

Founded by an a cappella addict from Japan, Sweet Tonic is an seven-person group
of singers who love their day jobs but canft live without a little vocal
harmony in their lives.  We rehearse in Santa Monica from 4:30pm to 6:30pm on
Sundays, on average 3x a month, with an eye toward open mic gigs, concert
performances, CD recordingsc skyfs the limit.

Contact us w/questions or to set up an audition.  If auditioning, please include
some info in the email about yourself & your music experience.

Thanks and hope to be singing with you soon!
