2004 Barbershop Singing

Roger sings with the Great Northern Union chorus and occasionally in a quartet. Below are a variety of pictures of this year's activities. There will be more occasions, but we might miss photographs with Theresa out of commission to take pictures for awhile.)

At the annual Land O' Lakes District, the chorus won the contest and will represent the District at the International Chorus Contest next July in Salt Lake City.

This is the Great Northern Union Annual Awards Banquet held at the Lost Spur in Eagan.

Each Summer, the St. Paul Chapter sponsors an evening of barbershop singing at Como Park Pavilion featuring all the choruses from the greater Twin Cities area. Here they are all singing several patriotic songs.

Here's the chorus in their casual uniform. (Some of the quartets are in their own outfits.) Roger is in blue 3 up from bottom, 2nd one in from left. (This is the "On to Fame" show).

We shared the stage with 4 special members of our chapter, past LOL District champions, and current LOL District representatives to the International Contest, Bravo!.

We also shared the stage with our old and special  friends, the 1975 International Quartet Champions, and still singing, the "Happiness Emporium", of which 2 members are active in the GNU.

Roger in a quartet singing on Valentine's Day. The quartet was named "Three Handsome Guys".-- You guess who "is"... who "isn't." ... :) ... It's all in fun. 

And another happy client with "Three Handsome Guys". Each recipient is presented with at least two songs,  a rose, a card from her personal admirer, and a photo.
