75th Anniversary Show Package "Celebrate Harmony"
Listen to A Sample
Thanks to the 75th Anniversary Committee for coming up with a great new show package, "Celebrate Harmony," designed to entertain and educate the public with our rich heritage and the music we share. There's a good sprinkling of history throughout the show, with the main focus on the entertainment value of the barbershop style, and it has a perfect balance of song styles and tempos.
It's a terrific way to share our birthday with the world! Read more about it, listen to a sample, and order HERE.
If you have any questions, or need help and support, please email our Society Historian extraordinaire, Grady Kerr.

DO HAROLD HILL
CONCEPTS REALLY WORK?
Yes! One Chapter's Story
The Redwood Chordsmen of Santa Rosa, California (FWD) has witnessed their finest burst of growth in over 47 years, by doing all the basic things really well. This time last year, they had 26 members; now they have 60! They promoted an April 25, 2012 guest night on their website and Craigslist, handed out business cards and sent letters to more than 25 area churches. Forty guys showed up that night, and many of the new guys who joined are under age 25. And, they have great plans for retaining those members too!
How about yours?
