For the members of the OKChorale Men’s
Barbershop Chorus Monday night is rehearsal night. And OMG what a rehearsal! I’m getting to where I say that a lot about
going to Monday night rehearsals. It just seems to be filled with fun and excitement. We have many new members and it is always a
pleasure as you watch them catch the barber shopper’s bug. But that’s not really the reason that it has
become such a pleasure. It’s because of
the new life that seems to radiate from the chorus. There is an unmistakable robust energy that
is springing into being after a very very long dormancy.
Monday night, I was running late to rehearsal. It was the first time I had missed the start
of rehearsal since David Roman, our director, took the helm over a year ago
now. This was one time being late to the
party was a good thing! When I hit the
doors the sound was incredible! Then I
turned the corner into the rehearsal room and the sight combined with the sound
was awe inspiring. A melodious sound
filled the air and all the guys were clad in their best Valentine’s Day finery. There were cameras everywhere with video technicians
scurrying around the room filming the chorus members from all angles while they
sang. The room crackled with electricity! I cannot wait for everyone to see the new
video clips that we are producing for Valentine’s Day! They will be so cool. I hope to post one here as soon as they are
available.
The OK Chorale takes Valentine’s Day very seriously. Besides being a great fund raiser for our
philanthropic organization, the men of the OK Chorale simply love St. Valentine’s
Day. Singing to the beautiful ladies around
the city is one of the greatest joys for many of the men in our
organization. Each year, men who don’t
normally even sing in a quartet band together into groups of four to croon love songs
in four part acapella harmony to the fair ladies of our city.
This year the OK Chorale is gearing up for a huge Valentine’s
sing-out. Heading our Valentine’s Day team
is our newest and youngest Vice President.
Caleb Henderson is the Vice President of Operations and under our new
board structure he is responsible for the Valentine’s Day Team Coordinators. His team consists of Jevon Wright-overseeing
marketing and public relations for the event, Ken Elder-our guru of the web will
be handling internet sales, Charles Knight will be routing quartets all around
our vast city form his secure location at command central and Bob Curtis will
be compiling all needed data to coordinate the entire day.
Orders are pouring in
from men all over the metroplex requesting Singing Valentines for their
Sweethearts. The Valentine presentation
consists of two love songs sung by one of the OK Chorale’s barbershop quartet,
a long stem red rose and beautiful hand-crafted card. The cover of this spectacular card is of a single
rose. The rose was drawn by local
artist, Arni Anderson especially for the OK Chorale. Guy’s!
No where will you find a gift so unique.
You can order now by going to SingToMyGirl.com
