Photos – Harmony Workshop 02

In August of 2002, we sent out bulletins to all of the churches in lower Pinellas county inviting their male singers to an all day workshop where they would be coached and shown skills to take back to their choirs. The program was successful and was endorsed by the Sunshine District as an excellent way to promote good singing in the community, and incidentally promote barbershop style music and also recruit new members. Several church choir directors were in attendance and the audience ranged in age from high school students to senior citizens. We plan on doing the same program, with several refinements, again in 2003. Our clinicians were: Bill Billings, a former director of the Suncoast Chorus and baritone of several International finalist quartets. He was the main clinician, along with Scott Turnbull, our present director and past director of several major choruses and also a quartet man. “Street Fair” a local quartet experienced in many Youth Harmony festivals was the teaching quartet.
