From the Risers

This week's rehearsal included some genuine WOW! musical moments. I'm always impressed by Coby's listening abilities, and as he fine-tuned our balance, vowel shapes and blend we all felt the convergence of lyrics, arrangement and our singing. Like  a perfect barbershop storm these things came together in a way that made the song come to life. That might sound corny but if you've heard good barbershop harmony you know what I mean. It's the definition of synergy, where the total is greater than the sum of the parts. It's a full body experience for me, standing in the front row near the center as we deliver the poetry of the lyrics, carried along by the momentum of the arrangement, our family of voices molded into one.

And THAT is another reason I love this group!
