‘Round Midnight back by popular demand

'Round Midnight is an award-winning "a cappella" quartet of music educators from New York City. They sing primarily in the barbershop style and demonstrate how close harmony can be applied to different musical genres such as R&B, pop, jazz, and rock. The group is a three-time Semi-Finalist in the Barbershop Harmony Society's (BHS) International Barbershop Quartet Contest and they are also the BHS 2010 Mid-Atlantic District Quartet Champions. In addition, the foursome won the New York City Harmony Sweepstakes Championship and was twice bestowed the coveted "Audience Favorite" award by overwhelming crowd vote.

Musical Time Machine and ‘Round Midnight (Continued from Page 1)

‘Round Midnight has received praise for their self-titled debut recording too, receiving a Contemporary a cappella Recording Award (CARA) nomination in the category of "Best Barbershop Song" for their rendition of "Try A Little Tenderness.” Most recently, the quartet was awarded the title "Favorite Barbershop Quartet" by CASA—The Contemporary A Cappella Society. 'Round Midnight has been featured in an array of show cases, contests, and educational workshops spanning the United States from Carnegie Hall in New York City to The Honda Center in Anaheim, California. (From You Tube)

Rounding out the cast of this annual extravaganza will be several quartets and combos that are familiar to our audiences over the past few years, such as The AfterGloWorms, ( H a ro l d Ve r i t y, B o b M i r a g l i a , S t e v e Stojowski, and Maurice Debar); Long Island Express, (Bill Ruth, Gene Kammerer, Joe Massaro and Bob Roth); All In A Chord, (Bill Ruth, Steve Brausa, Bernie Genzer, andGeorge Seelinger); and No Treble At All, (Jon Ayers, Bill Vesely, Ken Wunsch, and Wayne Lazar). Joining these veteran groups will be the chapter’s two newest quartets, Cloud 9, (Jon Ayers, Vinnie Colonna, John Brolly and George Seelinger) and 4Gone Conclusion, (Harold Verity, Steve Brausa, Maurice Debar, and George Seelinger). The role of the consummate Master of Ceremonies will again be in the very capable hands of Nancy Massaro, radio and TV personality and wife of chorus member, Joe Massaro.

Chorus Director Maurice Debar and Stage Manager Gene Kammerer have competently combined their talents to make “A Musical Time Machine” a show that will long be

remembered as one of Nassau Mid-Island’s finest shows ever.

MISSION STATEMENTThe Nassau Mid-Island Chapter, in order to enhance the enjoyment of music in the barbershop style for our chapter members and our audiences, participates in both quartet and chorus singing as a means of experiencing the thrill of barbershop singing and helping others to do the same. Our aim is also to support the Barbershop Harmony Society and the Mid-Atlantic District in their efforts to perpetuate our art form, to warmly welcome other singers into our hobby, and to contribute to the cultural quality of our community through our charitable activities.

FROM THE CORNER OFFICE SHOW TIME

For most chapters, the annual show is the highlight of the year, and rightly so. It’s the apex of a broad base of activities all aimed at producing the best possible performance, and it combines all the facets of the

chapter. The most obvious of these, of course, is the music; learning new songs and developing greater skills through practice and coaching. These skills are not only audio, they’re visual, and they’re aimed at making the chorus more entertaining. The show team is like the proverbial swimming duck; calm on the surface, but paddling furiously underneath and largely unseen, designing the shape of the show, the staging, publicity, guest talent, back stage support, lighting, sound and a host of details, some of which will appear unannounced at the last moment. When it comes to ticket sales, which includes all members, this is important for a couple of reasons. One, it’s no fun singing to a half-filled house; and two, the profit (or lack thereof) is by far our greatest source of revenue, the stuff that pays the bills, gets us the coaching, buys the uniforms and music, reimburses us for necessary expenses, and makes our annual affair in honor of our ladies, God bless ’em, possible. It’s not the most fun for most of us, but it’s part of the responsibility of membership, so suck it up and do your part to help fill the house. Show time is when all these efforts come to fruition; the house lights dim and we take the stage for the 62nd time. It’s not just show time, it’s showoff time, time to show our audience just how much we’ve improved, and how much more we’re enjoying the world’s best hobby and not just bringing it to them, but putting it into their hearts. It’s my firm belief that the applause meter will reach new heights. The voices are lighter, the tuning is better, and the smiles are, shall we say, more evident. Sing with confidence, and sing with joy in your heart.

BERNIE GENZER, OPERATIC STAR

ROLE PLAYING: Nassau Mid-Island Chapter bass Bernie Genzer recently widened his vocal prowess, participating in the presentation of Verdi's masterpiece, Rigoletto. Here he is (second from left) as the Count of Ceprano at one of the six performances recently staged before an enthusiastic audience at the Church of the Ascension in Rockville Centre.

It should also be noted here that Bernie, a longtime member of the Lantern Theater group, designed the lighting for the group’s first musical, Falsettos, which ran concurrently over two weekends with Rigoletto. That’s where Bernie learned all those front row moves he improvises to make the chorus look good.

SNO-BIRDING’S A HOOT!To escape the ravages of the 2010-2011

winter season, the Toosday Toons staff (Bess and Chiz) sought the life of sno-birds on the balmier shores of Florida for two months. (Naturally, the weather up here turned out to be more moderate than usual.)

We chose Vero Beach for our vacation spot and f e l l i n love wi th the a rea a lmos t immediately. Vero Beach embodies all of the features one would look for in a mid-size city—

Photo by Bob Heim

CHAPTER CHATTERsandy beaches, rolling surf, beautiful parks, wonderful theater, delightful restaurants, myriads of shops in which to spend your money, courteous and hospitable citizens, great golf and tennis, and a birder’s paradise (our condo was situated on an Audubon Society conservancy site, which also included two championship golf courses, a par 3 golf course, a driving range, mul t ip le Har-Tru tennis courts , a main clubhouse and a Beach Club, which involved a ten-mile drive to the coast.)

Much to a barbershopper’s delight, I found a group of ten men, who hung on after the Vero Beach Chapter dissolved in 2009. The nearest b a r b e r s h o p c h a p t e r i s i n M e l b o u r n e , approximately 31 miles to the north.

This group of ten men meets every Monday a f te rnoon a t one of the many res iden t communities in Vero Beach and, for the most part, just sing. They don’t have a director; they don’t have officers or a board of directors; they just get together to sing period. Fortunately, they have a semblance of balance in that they have two tenors, three leads, two baritones and three basses. I had the pleasure of singing either bari or lead, wherever it was more helpful to the group.

The climax to the barbershop experience was a first class production of “Music Man” at the Riverside Theater on the last Sunday we were there.

Now I know why the likes of Bob Roth, Jim Schlegel, and Gene Kammerer disappear around December and January.

BOB ROTHʼS RUTHOGRAPHYBob Roth, presently Nassau Mid-Island’s tallest member, was born on 28 March 1934 i n S o u t h N a s s a u Hospital. (Did you notice his plaque on the maternity ward wall?) His wife, “Mo,” was born on the same date (not year), so their coming together was preordained (slipping in a little religion here).

They have two children who are now adults, Bob, Jr. and Debbie, and two grandchildren, Matt and Dan.

Bob grew up in Lynbrook, graduating from Lynbrook High School in 1951. He attended Lehigh University, majoring in industrial engineering. (What he can do with an Erector set is unbelievable.) In September, 1955, he started with the New York Telephone Company as a trainee engineer (inventing a dial tone that was car-compatible). His creative mind got him an assignment to Bell Laboratories for 18 months, where he earned the equivalent to a master’s degree in electrical engineering. (He now learned that “watt” was not spelled “what.) Bob had several promotions along the way, retiring in June, 1990, as a district manager with additional assignments in the personnel and labor relations departments.

While attending Lehigh, Bob entered the ROTC program and was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Air Force under that program. Shortly after joining the phone company, he was posted to Lackland AFB as an Aircraft Maintenance officer. (He made sure that that there were NY Tel pay phones in every plane—what a company man!) Subsequently he was reassigned to Chanute AFB and Portland AFB, where he played basketball and baseball on their teams. (Notice the duties you get as an officer?)

In retirement, Bob joined the Nassau Mid-Island Chapter in 1993, becoming a cornerstone of the bari section. (He wanted me to put that in.) He served in several chapter offices, also taking special care of the family members’ booster list in our show journal.

As a civic duty, Bob served 17 years on the Village of Massapequa Park Zoning Board, 13 of which were as chairman. (He was amazed at how popular he had become in that town.) He has been a member of the Verizon Pioneers for many years doing charitable work; he is a computer game player, stamp collector and avid golfer.

Last, but not least, Bob’s wife, “Mo,” makes fantastic home-made lunches when the Long Island Express quartet rehearses at their house, and we all give her a Zagat rating of five stars.

Keep up the great work, Bob. You are an invaluable asset to the chapter.

THE "P" AND "R" OF PUBLIC RELATIONSPERCEPTION AND REALITY (AND CLOSING THE GAP)

Nassau Mid-Island Chapter

Associate Editor(A Public Relations Practitioner For Close to 60 Years)

It's a rather simplistic assertion often advanced when discussing public relations. That perception, is reality. But IS it? Hardly. Have you ever found yourself in front of one of those oddly shaped mirrors in an amusement park? I'm sure you'll agree that the face and body returning your stare bears little resemblance to you at all. Another example? Those passenger-side messages in small print on the side-view mirror of your car. Objects are much closer than they appear, they caution. Early in my p.r. career, I clearly recall an experience having to do with a professional photographer on assignment with me to come up with a piece about a small, yet exclusive resort in Florida. While shooting exteriors, ten guests were asked by the shutterbug to crowd into one corner of a large and luxurious pool. The resultant shot was to show the hotel active with delighted vacationers. The reality, however, was quite the opposite. Occupancies at the property were running at a dismal 25 percent. So perceptions are not always reality. "Spin" is often the culprit in altering what is perceived. In reporting the news, or making news with creative ideas, special promotions and their implementation, public relations professionals are urged to strive for the truth. When p.r. codes of ethics are established, it’s the reason that they stress honesty above all. Barbershop chapters do everything in their power to win the respect and admiration of those in their community, as well as the Society at large. Our Nassau Mid-Islanders are no exception. We are proud to say that we are, for quite a number of reasons, pictured as a hardworking, active, vibrant and admirably schooled group that can, and does, provide enormous enjoyment not only for those who come together for rehearsals, but to those who find themselves in our audiences during the year. We are most thankful for that perception. But, at the same time, we are determined that the equation of what is perceived and what is "real" is closely matched. Disappointment is not a word that is acceptable to any of us. Matching perception with reality, takes dedication and hard work. We are up to the challenge.

A MUSICAL TIME MACHINE IS PRIMED FOR TAKEOFF

--By Show Chairman Steve Brausa

Our Musical Time Machine is almost ready for takeoff! On February 27, Wayne a n d C a ro l L a z a r accompanied me to C a r l e P l a c e H i g h School to test whether the slide show would work with the school’s equipment and the stage lighting. With some adjustments, it w o r k e d ! A s w i t h

anything mechanical, stuff can happen, so we will all keep our fingers crossed that everything will function as planned at the show.

The uniform for the first act will be: White long sleeve shirt, grey slacks, black shoes and socks, burgundy paisley vest and matching bow tie. In the second act we will wear the burgundy blazer and the striped tie instead of the vest and bow tie. If anyone doesn’t have the necessary uniform elements, please let me know. We will probably need to distribute the new version of the striped tie to insure uniformity.

My greatest hope is that when we take the stage we will execute the lessons that we’ve been taught over the last year: (1) That when we sing, we remember the dynamic plan for each song and don’t let the excitement of being on stage cause us to sing too loudly or with poor quality; (2) That we sell the songs to the audience with energy and expression; (3) That we sing vertically and energize the ends of phrases.

When we take the stage, we smile because singing makes us happy, and making music for our families and guests is a joy! We are singing better than ever and it’s time to show it off!

Our Love of Song: In a 1996 address on the power of song given by Herbert Kretzmer, perhaps best known as the lyricist for the English-language musical adaptation of Les Miserables, Kretzmer noted  that  The Oxford Companion to Music opens its section on Song with the stark declaration: "No songless people have ever been discovered." And it goes on to say, he observed, that even among aboriginal tribes which had no musical instruments of any kind there was always a tradition of song, sometimes fairly advanced. "Song seems to be instinctive among human beings," said Kretzmer. "It comes naturally to children. Indeed it is no longer disputed that even a human fetus is capable of hearing music and responding to it."

How many times over the last few days have you carried on a casual conversation lasting 30 seconds or more? When you were done talking, how many of those people knew that you are an avid barbershopper, that your stupendous annual Show is coming up in a couple of weeks, and that you have their tickets? If the answer is 100%, you’re doing a great job for your Chapter, and we sincerely thank you. If the answer is something less than 100% (it can’t be that you’re shy — you’re a barbershopper!), please consider finding more ways to steer conversations toward barbershopping and toward getting people to come to the Show.

If you are uncomfortable selling things, unsure of how to broach the subject, or don’t know what to say, help is available. A couple of weeks ago you received an e-mail with a sample letter promoting the Show, suitable for sending to everyone you know. If you didn’t receive it, we’ll get you another copy. If you can put that letter into your own words (or use the letter’s original words), success will be yours. Practice on your family. They can help you develop your sales pitch.

In addition to having something ready to say to everyone you meet, you also need to carry a few things with you everywhere you go. Always carry your supply of unsold tickets with you at all times. If your inventory is running low, tell Hal Verity you need more. It wouldn’t hurt to have a few copies of the ticket order form and color flyers as well. Don’t leave home without them!

In my 13 years so far as a barbershopper,

we have yet to fill every available seat for any of our shows so that we had to turn away customers because we were sold out. On the other hand, our music is improving by leaps and bounds; we’re doing things smarter and better every year, and it’s possible we could sell out. If the weather had been better at last year’s Sunday matinee, we could have sold out then. You care deeply for your customers, and you don’t want this to happen to them.

Please emphasize the fact that the student and senior discounts are only available for tickets purchased in advance, such as through you. You always do say that, don’t you? Then tell them you just happen to have some tickets with you right then and there. Close the deal!

Always talk it up; always have everything with you, and end each conversation with, “So how many tickets would you like?” Thank you for your support.

Are We The BestWe Can Be?

As I’m gearing up to travel to Kansas City for the BHS International Competition, I can’t help but think about the journey all the quartets and choruses have taken to get there. Only the best of the best qualify for international every year. These groups practice all year long for one moment in time.

I think about the amount of consistent focus it takes to sing every chord perfectly. Not just perfectly in tune for the “lock and ring,” but perfectly presented to the audience with the r ight emotion, dynamics , inf lect ion and interpretation.

Through the years, I’ve been fortunate to learn about what separates the gold medal quartets and choruses from the rest. I don’t know all of the secrets, but I know a few! I want to share these habits with our chorus so that we can simply model our rehearsals around best practices.

1. The ensemble selects music that fits who they are in personality and ability.

Are we funny, ser ious, s tory te l lers , traditional, flirtatious, etc? Once the ensemble identifies their personality, they can then select the appropriate songs.

2 . Each quarte t member comes to re h e a r s a l w i t h t h e i r i n d i v i d u a l p a r t mastered.

Time alone should be spent practicing notes and words. Time together should focus on things

like blend, breath marks, interpretation, lock and ring, etc.

3. Each rehearsal begins with a thorough warm up that focuses on unison of sound.It is so important for the ensemble to not

only warm up voices but to warm up the ears. Listening is also a warm up strategy.

4. Surprisingly, not all rehearsals are in quartet form. Almost half of the rehearsal time is spent dueting. The reason for this is so that all the parts can lock intervals.

Dueting really exposes intervals that you wouldn’t normally hear while singing all four parts simultaneously. Dueting lead with tenor, baritone with bass, and all the various combinations is a detail that ensures lock and ring.

5. Every single rehearsal is recorded so that each member can listen to their voice during the week and make corrections.

You should never just trust what you think you hear in a live rehearsal. When you listen to a recording of yourself singing, it’s amazing what you hear that is off! Playing back a recording of yourself allows you to hear what the audience hears. This is a great tool for making corrections to notes and voice quality.

6. Great quartets get an outside opinion.Even the best quartets get outside coaching.

There are experts in the field that help take an ensemble to the next level by focusing on minute details.

It’s really neat to watch us transition into a better chorus. We are doing so many of the right things, and we need to continue to implement best rehearsal practices so that we can sing better and be attractive to new members. So, I’m asking each of you to do your part in making the Denver MountainAires the best we can be!
