show in Northern Maryland.

Here's the schedule:

THURSDAY 10/6
CAFFE LENA
Saratoga Springs, NY
http://www.caffelena.com/
tix: 518-583-0022

The Bobs return to their favorite new haunt.   And I'm pretty sure Amy
Bob won't turn down cheese gifts from Putnam Market!  Come on down to
this intimate listening room for a full dose of closeup Bobs fun.

FRIDAY 10/7
LYCIAN CENTRE FOR THE ARTS
Sugar Loaf, NY
http://www.lyciancentre.com/
tix: 845-469-2287

No, silly, there aren't more carbs in a Sugar Loaf Bobs show than in a
show anywhere else!   This lovely theater, nestled under Sugar Loaf
Mountain in New York's picturesque Orange County (not to be confused
with THE O.C. of Southern California), is a comfortable and beautiful
drive from Northern New Jersey.  Come on up!

SATURDAY 10/8
CECIL COMMUNITY COLLEGE    -     Note: This is a RHAPSODY IN BOB show
North East, MD
http://cecilcc.edu/events/calendars/theatre.asp
tix:  410.287.1000

Let the Gershwin begin!   The Bobs (and special guest Bob Malone)
bring their RHAPSODY IN BOB program to Northern Maryland, featuring a
program of classics that rock and classic rock.    The evening
culminates in their spectacular, unique arrangement of Gershwin's
masterpiece, RHAPSODY IN BLUE for piano and The Bobs - as a vocal
orchestra.



ATTENTION MUSIC EDUCATORS!!!!

Did you know that The Bobs do workshop program for kids - and adults?


The Bobs have an informal, adaptable presentation style in their
educational program that mirrors their concerts, inviting interaction,
grooving, and just plain fun.  This gives them an unparalleled ability
to connect with many different age groups, with or without musical
training or experience.  If you are interested in having The Bobs come
to your school/organization and do a workshop/clinic/lecture-demo when
they return to the mid-Atlantic in November, drop a line!

Know of anyone living within the Pittsburgh area looking to sing Doo
Wop music for fun and to keep the music alive?

Bass sought for successful, high profile, professional vocal band
based in Ithaca, NY.  This is a national search for a male in his 20's
who wishes to pursue a serious performance career.
Please contact SOP management at pat@... and see us at
www.sonsofpitches.com

It's only the very beginning... (even pre-beginning?)


Is there anyone on this list in Baltimore?  A friend (baritone) and I (alto) are
talking about
forming a group next year with a core of jazz standards and whatever other fun
stuff
interests members -- maybe even some madrigals at the MD Ren Fest.  Must read.


Please email if curious -- or just to say, Hi, I'm in Baltimore, too...


Thanks,

Dorrie

Hi Dorrie,

Are you willing to consider folks within commuting distance of B'more? I'm in
Newark, Delaware (approx 1 hour drive). Sang 2nd Alto with Out of the Blue at
Duke as an undergrad (in the 80s.... time FLIES!), and think I still can, but
have noticed my range is creeping back upward and I'd be comfortable with 1st
Alto or 2nd Sop, methinks. :)

Would be glad to discuss it further depending on your answer to the first
question. Either way, good luck-- sounds like fun!

Take care,
Tara

If you live in or around the Philly area and ENJOY SINGING, come
audition for Philly's premiere co-ed a cappella singing group
NoteTorious. Former a cappella experience is preferred, but is not
necessary...

We focus on a POP/CONTEMPORARY music style and we're LOOKING FOR mal
(particularly basses and high tenors) and female(especially soprano,
but altos and mezzos are welcome) MEMBERS, ages 21-40 years old, who
enjoy singing. **We also need VOCAL PERCUSSIONISTS.**

We currently meet in Plymouth Meeting to practice. For auditions, you
will be expected to prepare a piece that highlights your blending
skills. For more information, contact Sarah at lizibear7@... for
more info.

Okay, this is a long shot...

Does anyone know of a DC-area location where BlueLine, an a cappella jazz
sextet, could rehearse on Sunday afternoon from about 1-5 pm? Preferably for
free or a nominal fee?

We have a mini-retreat planned this Sunday and are striking out on the usual
suspects for rehearsal space. All we need is heat and space for six bodies,
although a resonant acoustic would certainly be a plus. We live in Silver
Spring, Gaithersburg, Bethesda, Potomac, and Alexandria, so anywhere
relatively near any of those places would work.

Please save us from rehearsing in my basement!! (Our usual rehearsal spot.)

Thanks!

BVJE invites you to attend one of its public performances on Sunday,
December 11, 2005 at Harbor Place in downtown Baltimore at 2:00 PM.
While it is too late to "join and sing", BVJE will be rehearsing every
thursday in December.  We continue to audition new members for our 5
part songs.  We are looking for Soprano I, Soprano II, Alto,
Tenor/Bari, and Bass.  The bass parts are very exciting, including
very low parts as well as vocal percussion.

For more information contact bass_bvje@....

The Chromatics have several concerts coming up, including our annual
Greenbelt Arts Center (GAC) performances on December 10 and 11 in

and Sunday afternoon's show is with Tonic & Gin (the group, not the drink

anything could be in those shot glasses!).

We're also very excited to be performing for the finale of the Alexandria
First Night celebration on Dec 31. More on that and other shows below...

UMBRIAN SERENADES is a unique summer program that brings together
passionate choral singers who seek opportunities to perform exquisite
a cappella repertoire, who want to brush up on their vocal,
musicianship, and ensemble skills, and who enjoy all that a small
medieval hilltop town in the Umbrian hills can offer culturally, be it
wine, olive oil, cooking, Italian language, etc. Non-singing travel
companions are not only welcome but encouraged to join
their "Serenaders" in our cultural tastings throughout our program in
Spoleto, Italy!  For more detailed information visit
www.umbrianserenades.com

Hello all --

Just dropping a note to say hello and briefly introduce myself.  I'm a
Baltimore-based mezzo (classically trained, BM from New England Conservatory, MM
from Indiana University) who works as a writer/historian and public speaker and
is looking to find or build a versatile group to sing with.

My perfect a cappella group would be adventurous and skilled enough to do
everything from Monteverdi and Debussy to standards to spirituals to, oh, I
dunno, maybe we could arrange some Radiohead or something.  But I'm willing to
start smaller and see where things go, of course.

Anyway, I've always maintained that singing a cappella is the most fun you can
have with your clothes on, and I miss it!  So I look forward to hearing about
what's going on in the region and hopefully to finding my way to a group sooner
or later.

Cheers,
Hanne

I'm a classicly trained soprano (can also do mezzo) interested in
starting a new group or joining a group.  Ideally all female but can
go for co-ed too.  I've done early music/baroque music in college,
working with Julianne Baird.  But I also did opera, and all kinds of
classical choral pieces...Mozart to Avo Part...Italian to Russian.  I
also like Jazz, though I've very little experience with it myself and
broadway...I've done a couple of shows in college and have studied
some broadway music as well.

Des

Groove Society, a Denver-based professional jazz/R&B sextet with a
growing national reputation, is looking for a new alto.  We work

understanding of all jazz styles, be capable of singing dissonant
harmonies, and be willing to relocate to Denver.   At least some
college experience is required.
