COMING BACK...TO

The Heralds of Harmony has moved its online presence for chorus administration and members only activities to Groupanizer and will be gradually moving to Groupanizer for its public presence as well so you may see some subtle changes along the way.

The New HoH (Groupanizer) Web Site
The new web site is beginning to be used more as we continue to get familiar with its many new functions. The Member Attendance Function is one that is and will become very important to the Chorus Leadership Team. Please tell us when you plan to attend. It is very simple–after logging on to the site, you will see ‘My Attendance Plan’ on the left side of your Dashboard screen. Click on this and it will display a number of chorus events. Click the edit button beside an event and it will give you a ‘pull down’ tab that contains the options, i.e. ‘Will Attend,’ ‘Might Attend,’ and ‘Won’t Attend.’ Select the one that is appropriate. You will also see an area for a short note. When I missed a rehearsal a couple weeks ago, I entered, ‘On a Cruise.’ But, that is optional. Remember the old sign-up sheets? They will be no longer necessary. Thank you for updating your plan for attendance.
As an aside, we are adding our Chapter History to this site. If you are a history-buff, then you are going to have some fun. From your Dashboard screen, click on the Documents tab at the top right of the screen. This provides an index
of HoH Documents. Click on ‘Historical Documents’ and you will see a list of Historical Documents listed by year. For an example, click on ‘1944 Documents.’ You will see a letter (.pdf ) from the International Executive Secretary, Carroll Adams that was sent to Bob Aldrich, dated November 9, 1944, discussing Bob’s interest in starting barbershop singing in Tampa. I hope you enjoy it. The Historical Documents Section is a work in process so new items will be added as time permits.

A few ways the guys coped with having the night off....
Hid in the closet and sang the Irish Blessing,
Limbered up for choreo by dodging raindrops,
and my personal favorite, Rehearsed “Anyway”!
It rained so hard on January 25th that rehearsal was CANCELLED. How often does that happen?! Thankfully, there were no reports of damage or casualties among the Heralds’ Nation.
