All Change
As a result of our
Annual General Meeting held on 12th October, we are changing our performing
name to Essex Chordsmen. Our club name
remains unchanged.
Learn to Sing
The British
Association of Barbershop Singers is an educational charity devoted to the
promotion of singing in the harmony style. Essex Chordsmen are
looking into initiatives to establish a Learn to Sing course in the
Meanwhile, if you
would like to give barbershop singing a try, you would be most welcome to come
along to one of our rehearsals on a Monday evening.
To
make arrangements simply telephone John Darwent on
01277 654525 or Dave Worley on 01277 632701.
So what are we up
to?
Repertoire “Do you hear the people sing” and “Is this the
way to Amarillo” are now both in our repertoire and we are looking to start
work on a couple of new songs which, we hope, we can sing if we attend
Convention in 2011.
Chorus Name If
you look above you will see that we are now performing as Essex Chordsmen. This gives a better picture of the area we
cover and means that we shall no longer be advertising the local Chelmsford
Star Co-op who no longer wish to offer sponsorships.
Uniform We
are now using our new purple shirts and blending tie and the possibility of
further uniform changes in the near future are being investigated, including
the introduction of waistcoats.
Social
Our social evening hosted by the ladies of Colne Harmony, was enjoyable
and a great social success. We are in
the process of organising a similar event in which we will host the ladies at
our rehearsal venue in
BABS Website
BABS Education and Music Services have improved their
internet facilities and the site now includes a bulletin board. Some sections of this are confined purely to
specific people (Musical Directors, Judges and so on) but there is also an
‘Open Forum’ where you can post your own views in a guest capacity. Have a look at this innovation at http://www.babs-education.info/index.html
My Objective
As Editor of this
site I hope to be able to keep visitors informed of all that is going on by
updating this page in particular. This
will hopefully serve to tell the casual visitor what we are currently doing
and, I hope, stimulate interest and encourage others to give Chelmsford Star Harmony
a try. It will also serve to keep our
existing members up to date with everything that is happening.
Input Please
If you, (be you a barbershop singer or not) have any
comments you wish to make about this website or the club in general, please
e-mail them to me at csharmony@gmail.com I
reserve the usual right to edit your
comments as seems necessary without changing the essence of them. In this way you can be a part of this
site.
Please also remember that we have a Guest book (see
the bottom of our Home Page) and would welcome your comments.
