Town Hall, Feb. 11— and what a practice it was, too. Anyone getting days' sen- tence in the Council Chambers shouldn't feel too bad with all those beautiful chords hanging in there. Thirty men can make wonderful sound when they work at it. I'm sure ourg uest was impressed and I will bet that he will he back for more of rhe same. Russ Zurbrigg opened the meeting, followed by the theme, "The Old Songs", and a short period of "Gang singing". Jim Henderson of Wingham was in- troduced and welcomed, and earnest practice was begun.

A few weeks iago we pointed out the value of Woodshedding in relationship to the chorus. "Sweet Roses of Morn" is a classic example in that we have worked it from the floor to a presentation stage in three or four weeks. 0--0--0 During the business period, several motions from the execu- tive were given by Secretary Ray Walker. These were all ap- proved. Some discussion on the proposed show followed with many good ideas coming from the floor. It is hoped that this project will develop in the next few weeks so that all of us can sink our teeth into same and present an excellent program. There is a terrific amount of work( that has to be done and very few of us realize this fact at this moment. May 30 has been suggested as a tentative date for the local production. 0--0--0 "A funny thing happened when I started singing bass," This is not as strange as one might think. In barbership harmony, any would -he bass is in for a rude awakening as he finds that he no longer is re- sponsible for the root of all the chords in a number. Awkward intervals will increase as the music gets tougher and he finds that he has to be right, accord- ing to the music sheet. No longer can he sing along in his usual manner -- just staying on the bottom of the musical to- tem pole. When they are right, they are beautiful and the lis- teners are always impressed by the "big boom". The entire chorus is built on the bass sec- tion which supplies up to 40 per cent of the "body" in our sound. Sing-cerely till next week.
