Photo Shoot Fun
July 26, 2011
Last April when we won the SAI Region 19 Quartet Championship, the honor was accompanied by a humongous trophy. The trophy is a traveling trophy – we owe it back to the region next spring, and in fact it is traveling around our homes during this championship year. We thought it would be fun to have photos of ourselves with the trophy in each of our homes, to sort of commemorate the year. So, recently we found ourselves in Kate’s apartment, dressed alike, and with the trophy in tow. It took us ten minutes of fussing, and many outtakes, before we got a shot we liked. For a little light-hearted fun, we thought we’d share our photo session with you!
Is this the right zoom setting?
- Wait! Where’s Jenny? and more importantly, where’s the trophy?
OK. Wow. This thing is big.
Hold it this way. Maybe that will work.
You know what? The trophy is too tall. And we need the flash on. And where's Jenny?
What the... ?????? Dang it!!!
Hello??? Is anyone in here????
- Almost good, but the trophy is still too tall. And the zoom is too close. Dang it!
Close - almost - try one more time!
Success!
Visiting Sons of the Severn
July 25, 2011
Last week we had the good fortune to visit our good friends, the Sons of the Severn chapter of BHS. The Sons have been long time supporters of Lustre, since our earliest days as a quartet. We recently enjoyed singing as the featured quartet on their annual Spring Show, what a great time that was!
The Sons of the Severn have set high goals for growth, both as a chorus and as members of the local community. They invited local businesses to their rehearsal last week to show the community what the Sons and barbershop music are all about. They called the event “Friends We Haven’t Met … Yet.” We were delighted to be invited to sing for the event, to help spread the word about women’s barbershop too! The guys are always so warm and welcoming, and make us feel right at home when we’re in their midst.
There is another “Friends…” event coming up this week: Thursday July 28, 8:00pm at Trinity UMC in Annapolis, MD. Find out more about it on Facebook here. Why don’t you go on out and visit – take your singer friends along! Bring your business-minded neighbors! Help the Sons make connections in the local community, and bring music to the world!
Thanks, guys, for inviting us!
