Singing Valentines

One of the fun things for the guys, and for the community that gets the experience of a Singing Valentine, is the experience of four men arriving at your home, office, dinner out, place of employment, or just about anywhere, dressed in red and white, with rose in hand, and a song on their lips just for your favorite someone -- man or women. Here is a sample of what you might see and hear.

We Start a New Year !

Last night was our first chapter get together for 2012. A low turnout with guys still recovering from the holidays and a few of them away. We had a full evening. We took photos of some groups of four guys dressed in our "Reds" to use in promoting Singing Valentines. We worked on the two primary Valentine songs (we have new improved learning recordings). And we also introduced new music. A fun filled evening.

We invite men of all ages to visit us next Tuesday evening at the church at the corner of Maple and Main Street in Flemington to see what all the fun is about. We start to gather at 7:30 with a formal start at 8:00 with a warm up of our voices.

Hunterdon Harmonizers Enjoyed Performing Their Holiday Show

Yesterday the singers of the Hunterdon Harmonizers enjoyed performing their Holiday show twice for enthusiastic and appreciative audiences. We had the most people in our audience that I have seen for some time. Perhaps that is because our reputation for producing a good show has spread, perhaps because we partnered with the Hunterdon Medical Center as a benefit for their fund raising campaign, perhaps because our promotional team with the addition of a new guy who really pitched in did a great job, perhaps because our President organized a quartet to appear at a local paper where they were the subject of a video broadcast on the newspaper web site, perhaps because our web master organized the site to better promote the show than in the past, maybe because our guys got flyers up all over the area better than usual, maybe because of the mailing organized and out to everyone who has attended a show in the past.

The only thing we know for sure is that we had a very good audience turn out and their reaction to the show was very good.

The show was described by one audience member as creative and cute. One said the singing was great. Another liked the theme of love and Santa and Christmas.

A video was made of the afternoon show by the Somerville cable television show where you can see the show again, or for the first time if you missed it Saturday.

I have included a few snap shots and a little video taken at the last rehearsal of the morning of the show and a few back stage snap shots on the day of the show.

We will next be singing at the Medical Center "Lights of Love" event this Wednesday, and on the 13 on Main Street in Flemington before our 8:00 rehearsal. Then we will be singing on a free show sponsored by the Hunterdon County Library on Route 12 on Wednesday evening December 14th.

Tec Rehearsal -- a couple of days to go 'til show time

Last night we gathered for the technical rehearsal. A time when the lighting guys, the sound guys, the show and stage director, the stage manager, the music directors, the quartets, the actors, the Harmonizers kids, the choreographer and the show chairman all make sure they are on the same page. It is the last rehearsal before the dress rehearsal. A time with lots of pauses to bring things together and make minor adjustments.

We look forward to performing the show for our audience.

You save $5 if you call and order your tickets in advance. Go to NJHarmonizers.org for details or call 908-806-NOTE for information and tickets. Shows at 2 & 7 this Saturday on the Hunterdon Central High School main stage.

Less than a week to go to Show Time

Tomorrow night the Hunterdon Harmonizers will be on the stage at Hunterdon Central High School for the technical rehearsal for the Holiday Show.

Tickets sales are going well. I hope you have gotten yours. Remember a ticket in advance will cost $5 less than waiting to to get your ticket at the door on the day or night of the show.

Look for the five guys above on stage. Do you know any of them?

A show for the Lions Club before rehearsal for our Holiday Show

An ensemble of Hunterdon Harmonizers warm up in preparation for performing a show for the Flemington Lions Club at their annual holiday dinner last night. They then performed their show before heading off for rehearsal in preparation for their Holiday show.

The Harmonizers show, The Cycle of Love, a Santa Claus Love Story, will be performed on Saturday December 3, at 2 in the afternoon and again at 7 in the evening. Both performances will be on the big stage of Hunterdon Central High School, 84 Route 31, Flemington, NJ. Tickets can be obtained from any Harmonizer or by calling 908-806-Note (6683). General admission tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door. Tickets for students are $10 (age 6 – 17) and kids under 5 are free. A portion of the show proceeds will benefit the Campaign for the Hunterdon Medical Center Foundation. 

A month 'til show time

One month to go. The last of the new music is introduced last Tuesday. Photos are taken of Mr. & Mrs Santa. The script is reviewed so we all know how things fit together. Tickets are available. This is the fun time so many of our singers wait for all year.
