EVERYONE IN HARMONY CHORUS

BE A PART OF THE SHOW!

If your ensemble won’t be there in full, you can still be in the show! Join the Everyone In Harmony Chorus for a Special One-Time Experience!

The Everyone In Harmony Chorus, name says it all: everyone is truly welcome for this special occasion!

Whether you're a seasoned vocalist or you only sing in the shower, whether you read music like a pro or just love to hum along, your voice has a home with us. No experience? No problem! We believe that when we sing together, the harmony is for everyone. It's about the joy of shared music, the incredible sound we create as a community, and the uplifting spirit of harmony.

What We're Singing

"You Tell Me Your Dream": A Brouhaha Gem

"America The Beautiful" (with a special 4-part harmony overlay): Chances are, you already know the familiar, beloved melody of "America The Beautiful" that many of us grew up with. Or, if you prefer, learn the 4-part harmonies in the overlay that will make this classic truly soar!

All the learning media for both "You Had A Dream" and "America The Beautiful" are available right here. You can listen, practice your part, and get comfortable with the songs at your own pace before we even meet.

Come discover the joy of creating incredible harmony together in this unique, one-time experience. We'll be performing on stage at the Meredith Bay Barbershop Harmony Jamboree – a chance to share our collective sound! We can't wait to sing with you!

ARCHIE PARK

A human-size statue of the redheaded, freckle-faced cartoon character Archie was unveiled in Meredith on August 9, 2018. Meredith was the hometown of illustrator Bob Montana, who drew the first Archie comic strip in 1942, and who continued cranking out Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead until he died cross-country skiing in 1975.

The Archie statue sits in a bench, with room for visitors, looking across the street toward the workshop where Bob drew Archie comics.

Montana modeled various Archie characters on people he knew in Meredith, and he was known for taking children for rides in his 1923 Model T, the same car that Archie drove in his early comics. Montana passed away before he could realize his dream of turning Meredith into an art colony, but he did succeed in having the town's parking meters removed.

America's typical teenager was immortalized in bronze by Belarusian sculptor Valery Mahuchy.

SEE IT! Downtown, on the west side of Main St, in tiny Community Park. South of the white wooden church and north of the red brick church.

LAKES REGION: SUMMER FUN

MAKING IT HAPPEN

It is our mission to create a family-friendly, shared experience for the entire NED community which encourages singing, fellowship, community. We hope all attendees and community members will experience inclusive events which inspire great memories, lasting friendships, and an ongoing interest in the barbershop style of singing.

Chair: Karen Rourke. Art Lively, Ben Newton, Dick Arscott, Lee Daum, Jim Kenealy, Scott Domaratius, Wayne Hackett, Scott Leavitt, Billy Carleton, Lynn Arner, Rick Hochsprung, Joni Menard

The Parks and Recreation Department in the town of Meredith, NH has been a great partner in helping us to organize each year. The entire town is excited about this… the area Meredith Chamber of Commerce, Lakes Region Tourist Information Bureau, and the Greater Meredith Program group - and Meredith merchants!

Join us! If you, your quartet, or your chorus wish to offer support or ideas now (in planning), or later (show, performances, ideas), please contact the Jamboree Team - dedicated to the success of this event! The more committee members - the better! We need YOU - please! This isn’t a huge task or commitment. Many hands make lighter work. Join us with your IDEAS and service (and singing) at heart! Please consider helping out with the weekend’s activities and/or joining the Jamboree Team!
