I don’t know about many of you, but I can’t say those words without hearing the voice of Bill Wunderlin in my head :). Hi Bill.
It is time to get serious about the Fall Contest. At the posting of this edition of the HERALD we are only six short rehearsals away from the Fall contest, and it is going to be full of stiff competition. That means a lot of hard work and dedication is needed between now and then. The contest will be held at the Orlando Marriot. The same location as this year’s Spring contest. This is when we qualify to go to Portland to sing on the 2012 International Stage so everyone get on board!
On The Risers!
Heralds Appear on America Sings On Wednesday, July 27th the Heralds appeared on GMC Channel’s America Sings program and could win $10,000.
America Sings uses videos of previous performances and they chose The Heralds’ You’re Nobody ‘Till Somebody Loves You (Billy’s Bistro) arrangement performed in 2007 at the International Convention in Denver. (more on page 3)

Inaugural Semi-Annual Burt Szabo’s Tag Teaching Seminar
The Inaugural Semi-Annual "Burt Szabo's Tag Teaching Seminar" will take place on Saturday, October 22, 2011, from 0930 to 1600 (9:30AM to 4:00PM) at the recreation rooms of Burt Szabo's apartment complex at 515 South Conway Rd, 32807, in Orlando. If you Google it, you will see how handy it is.
The seminar leaders will be Burt Szabo, Keith Hopkins, and Bart Van de Mark. We will try to limit it to twenty participants. We will do some “$5 foot-longs” for lunch and will have coffee available in the morning. We will also supply water. The cost will come out of the Chapter Development Budget for the District.Perhaps, your Chapter will pay your transportation?
However, we need to be confident you will show up eagerly if you say you will.So raise your right hand...
The object, of course, is to give you ways to teach EASY tags to the new, young, or not-so-young man walking in the door for the first time and give him an instant feeling that he can do this stuff and can be successful right out of the box. In addition, maybe, just maybe, you could become a Lobby Star at conventions.
Let me know and I will put your name on my list and send you some easy tags to peruse FREE OF CHARGE! Several are included, here, to get you started.
Tempo Rarely,
Bart
