[editor note - In the Nov.-Dec. 2004 and Jan. -Feb. 2005 bulletin issues, I gave the first two segments (parts I thru 6) of "Ten Expectations of a Champion" which was from the Society web site and excerpted from B master class presented by Dr. Greg Lyne and the Masters of Harmony. Here are the concluding "expectations," numbers 7 through 10.]

7. Bring the whole singer.

Bring all that you have to offer to every experience in life, including the rehearsal. Be in the moment, be attentive, be alert, be energetic, contribute to the whole. You get the idea. "Be all that you can be." Accept responsibility for the only man who can make the ensemble better - you! It's amazing how liberating it is not to have to worry about all the guys around you!

8. Expect to grow.

Expect every rehearsal to bring personal and corporate growth. Come with the expectation of learning. Come expecting the musical leadership to have something to teach you. Treat time not spent gaining new knowledge as time wasted. Intend to improve every rehearsal.

9. "I'm talking to you!"

Not to the man behind you, not to the man on either side, not to the man in front, but to you. Every moment is meant for you. Be prepared to change instantly when the musical leader asks for a change. Don't think he means someone else. He means you! Do it now! Only you can change the way the chorus performs. No one else!

10. Look, act, and be successful!

When you're a little down, your back or feet hurt, and you wish you were somewhere else, try acting the way you'd like to feel. Stand up straight, smile, elevate your chest, look someone in the eye. If you look successful and act successful, success will follow. Take charge of your experience and make it - just make it - be something wonderful.

A "Thank you" from the network of hope:
The following letter was directed to President Bob Parker from Kate Callahan, Director, Network Of Hope.

Dear Bob,

I may be late in sending you this thank you, but please believe me that I am also very sincere! Thank you so much for being a part of a great night. The Flood Benefit Show on December 17 was a great success. More than $7,000 was raised that evening, thanks to you and the other groups that provided that wonderful music. Everyone I talked to had a great time. Its events like these - and people like you - who help to take some of the pain out of a very devastating situation.
Please convey my gratitude to everyone in the Greater Pittsburgh Three Rivers Chorus for sharing their talents with us, and helping us to help others. May God bless you for your generosity.

Gratefully, Kate Callahan, Director
