"Down Home" with the Men of Note

Sun, Apr 27 2014

We successfully completed three very good performances of our "Down Home" show on Friday and Saturday, the 25th and 26th of April.  The show included a variety of music, from Harry Connick, Jr. and Josh Groban hits, to old Texas and Americana standards. We had duets and quartets, as well as the whole chorus, entertaining while singing. A few bits of comedy skits (like "Who's on First?") and some "Hey Grandpa, what's for supper?" country menus kept the whole show fun.  Our featured guest quartet, Rendition, put on an outstanding show package, and we were honored that we were able to host their first big show.


Membership Committee visits Houston Tidelanders

Sat, Mar 8 2014

On March 8, 2014, three members, Charlie Moore, Bill Ragan, and Tim Shirey, attended a Training Session entitled "Supercharging your Chapter".  This session was hosted by the Houston Tidelanders and conducted by an approved BHS representative.  The gist of the session was the importance of having an "altruistic purpose" for singing and having fun.  The three reasons society members say they join a chapter is (1) to have fun, (2) for the camaraderie, and (3) for singing, in that order.  The only way a chapter can continue to grow, over time, said the trainer,  is to be undergirded with an unselfish and altruistic purpose, like helping the kids, or others, who need help. We'll be promoting this idea at our next Board meeting.


Men of Note Sing at Brookhaven College to help homeless kids

Tue, Mar 4 2014
A group of nine men from the Men of Note chorus met on March 4, 2014 to sing and present a $300 check to the Brookhaven Collegerepresentative for the Rainbow Days organization, which assists homeless kids go to camp. We displayed pictures and articles about the Men of Note chorus and signed up several prospective new members. One person from this effort has attended several rehearsal sessions the last few weeks. Hopefully, more of these "sing-outs" will help recruit more future members.
