TO OUR GUESTS, WELCOME!
We,
the Northshoremen, are extremely happy to have you with us this evening so that
we may try to show you the joys and camaraderie of
singing barbershop harmony. We hope if you have any questions, you will please
ask one of us, and if we can’t answer it, we will find somebody who can. If
you enjoy this evening it will be our fondest wish that you will continue to
visit with us in the future. Again, we say to you, WELCOME,
each and
every Wednesday.
PLEASE BE A SINGER BRINGER!
Remember, we are all members of the membership
committee.

MARCH
14th to 16th We are hosting the spring pre-lims at the Peabody High School.
Our own LEON PELLETIER is the chairperson of this event and will need all of
us in the chapter to make this event a huge success. This is also our chapter
spring contest where we sing to qualify for next year's district contest. If
Leon should tap you on the shoulder, just say, YES I CAN HELP.
SATURDAY,
MAY 10th The date of our annual show
which provides the major portion of the funds needed to operate the chapter for
the year. Now is not too late to start selling ads or for getting our ticket
list in order.This year's feature quartet are the FREELANCERS, who are ranked thirteenth at this years international
convention.
AN OBSERVATION FOR
2002 AND BEYOND:
We, as a chorus still
have several new songs to learn, but we cannot
proceed to them if we are still trying to correct last year's songs. With
spring competition and our annual show on the near horizon,
it behooves all of us to study our
tapes and music. One of
the problems we face is that
Christmas and New Year's
both fall on Wednesday. We are also loosing
one half of a rehearsal on December 4th for the AL POOLE
jamboree. This really shortens up our time on the learning curve.
