Harmonizers Win Barbershop Chorus
Competition
On a perfect Spring weekend
in June, the Mid-Atlantic Northern Division of the Barbershop Harmony Society
held their annual convention on the campus of the Beard School in
Morristown. On June 1, thirty quartets
from NY, NJ and PA vied for top honors.
The Hunterdon Harmonizers were
well represented by five quartets. Untamed and Chordhouse Steps placed in the top ten. They will move on to the next level of
competition at the Mid-Atlantic Fall Convention in Ocean City, MD.
The next day was the chorus
competition. Fifteen choruses
representing four different levels were prepped and ready to go. Hunterdon
Harmonizers had practiced hard to improve their skills with a weekend
retreat, special coaching sessions, and a great send-off gig for friends and
family. At contest, they had 35 men on
stage and won cheers from the audience for Didn’t
Want to Fall in Love and You’re
Nobody til Somebody Loves You.
The judges agreed, awarding
them a score that won the AAA level. The
Harmonizers and five other choruses
from the Northern Division will move on to compete in Ocean City, MD.
On Saturday evening, the Show
of Champions provided the top quartets and choruses a great venue to showcase
their talents. It did not
disappoint. Harmonizers kicked off the show with Nobody and Applause.
Your next opportunity to see
the Harmonizers will be their annual
concert at Deer Path Park on June 28, 2012 at 7 PM. Bring your family, chairs and blankets to
enjoy an evening of great entertainment for free!
