Clear Choice Sings Again

Thought For The Day

Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day.

Teach a person to use the internet and you won't see them for weeks.

After a whole winter of being over 1000 miles away from the rest of the quartet, we had our first gig of the summer last night at Our Lady of the Elms High School in Akron. It was their "end of the year" chorus concert. Various choirs from the middle school and the high school performed. They were very good. The theater was decorated in red, white and blue since the theme was "Made In America". We were the special guests. After all, what's more American than a barbershop quartet? The picture above is from last fall. For this show we wore the red vest/white shirt/red bow tie combo. It matched the show theme very well.

We did three songs at about the midpoint of the show and talked a little bit about barbershop music and the Akron chorus. Then later we did the Lida Rose number from The Music Man with a soprano from the high school choir singing the Marian, the librarian, part. She did very well. Then we finished our part of the show by doing a combined number with their choir. It was a lot of fun and we got lots of compliments from the audience members during the ice cream "social" that followed the concert. We spent about 30 minutes singing requests and doing numbers with small groups from the choirs. We don't need too much encouragement to sing, as many of you well know.

We have a couple of performances scheduled in June already and I suppose that more will come. We have been getting a lot of outdoor "stroll and sing" jobs lately and they are the best kind (as long as it doesn't rain).
