Another district chorus preliminary contest has come and gone. This weekend (October 3) the Heralds com-peted for the chance to represent themselves (and the rest of the Sunshine District) in the BHS International Convention to be held in Philadelphia in July. This district chorus completion was as stiff as it has ever been with outstanding singing coming from many different corners of the state. When the dust settled, the Heralds found themselves congratulating their harmony brothers from Jacksonville who captured the spot in the 2010 International contest. But the Times Union Performing Arts Center rang with the Heralds beautiful chords of “STAR MEDLEY” and “SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW” … as the guys performed under the superb direction of Steve Jamison. The Heralds, as always, extend their deepest thanks to their family and friends for all their support and loving encouragement making our awesome hobby possible. IT’S GREAT TO BE A HERALD!

Back by popular demand — Heralds’ photo caption contest

Sheesh… you leave out this feature from the newsletter for just one week and people get all bent out of shape. So, alright already. Here you go. Here’s the latest work of art upon which you can focus all your witty, clever and family-oriented poetical energies. Email your suggested caption to: [email protected] Winner announced next week. (We shutter to think!)

Over the next couple of weeks the Heralds will be conducting the annual selection of chorus leadership. The proposed slate of officers has been presented to all active members and it will be reviewed once again at our next rehearsal when any additional nominations may be submitted. The actual voting by chapter members will take place on the evening of Oct 13. Many thanks are extended to Bob Weber and the rest of the HoH Nominating Committee for an excellent job in this year’s process.

The Tampa HERALD

It’s time once again for

Christmas Music…. The Heralds have broken out their holiday charts once again in preparation for this year’s concerts at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center on Dec 12. Wouldn’t YOU like to sing this great music with them. If you’ve ever been part of the Heralds in the past and have sung these wonderful songs, why not come on back and get into the Christmas spirit on the risers! We all know that NOBODY TELLS THE CHRISTMAS STORY LIKE THE HERALDS. And, we’d LOVE for YOU to tell it with us!

For the last time, it's RING around the rosy, not SING around the Rosy.” -”OK, now this is how babies are made. The mommy and daddy start by holding hands...oh, never mind, you guys will never get it.” -”I'll tell you how you can make the audience ‘feel’ the per-formance, AFTER you take these Chinese handcuffs off me.

The days are growing shorter… No, not like less than 24 hours… We just mean that your opportunity to secure the very best seats for the HoH 2009 Christmas show (on December 12) at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center are getting fewer and fewer. Many of the prime seats have been spoken for. But, not to worry. We can still “hook you up” with a great spot in the very beautiful Morsani Hall to hear the award win-ning Heralds of Harmony , the lush sounds of the Liberty Voices , and the gold medal artistry of MAX Q. Join us for another great Christmas show and you’ll go home saying, “No one tells the Christmas Story like the Her-alds!” (And… you’ll be right!)

"Ok, when do we go on?" And… the winner is…
