The Show was Great

Well done Harmonizers – it was a great show this past Saturday. Those 800 or so people who came were well rewarded It was a tremendous effort by all.

Dan and Christian with Mark, Rusty, Don and a host of others developed a humorous show, involved many of the Harmonizers in major roles and certainly included everyone in needed participation. What was so great about this effort is that it was truly a Chapter effort. The spirit of cooperation, understanding, patience, and support by everyone made it happen.

From the scenery, to hauling risers, props, etc. . . to painting the scenery, to set up and take down, there was a working together that is what we want the Harmonizers to be about. People who enjoyed the show cannot know all that goes on behind the scenes to bring them such great entertainment and make a show successful.

Tim, our new show director was always upbeat and positive. The chorus response to his direction was great. Vida did her usual wonderful job in getting our feet to point the right way and bring our music to life. The quartets were super and all that had major roles did a fantastic job. The chorus members were really, really, really, focused and had a lot of fun. Everyone, from our senior members to our high school group were really into it.

George with the tickets, Jim with the ads, Mike with the excellent layout of the program, post cards, posters, etc. together made the show a business success. Tony, Greg, Ron, and a host of committee members put a very good looking set together for us. Carmen kept us in order and was a major factor with the sound and riser set up.

Our Ladies Aux. were again terrific in their support. Sharon, Carol, Linda, Tracy and others provided the leadership necessary to make sure the audience was welcomed, treated well, fed, watered, and made comfortable. Sharon took care of the phone ticket sales and handled tickets on show day.

Gabrielle performed with us for the first time and was a wonderful Princess Rose. Sandy had fun as the Lady in waiting, but her real impact was in providing the costumes that really made the show come alive. Adrienne’s creation of the dragon outfit was inspired and kept one of our quartets together. It really made the show.

The Hillsborough Chorale was terrific as was the North Hunterdon Madrigal Singers. Our Parade Music Makers and the Silent Knights were a great addition and very much appreciated for their performance and support.

A great day and truly a team effort. Most of all we thank our fans and audience. How could we do this without them.
