WELCOME TO DALLAS, TEXAS!
We are pleased that you have joined us for the Fall
Southwestern District Convention-2018. We anticipate
that this is going to be a fun-filled weekend with
outstanding singing and many other opportunities to
learn from some great teachers and leaders in several
areas of our hobby.
We are pleased to welcome Jeremy Albright, a recent
transplant to the great state of Texas, who is now singing
with the Vocal Majority. Jeremy is a member of the
Barbershop Harmony Society Board of Directors and
would love the opportunity to meet all of you and answer
any questions you might have about the workings of the
Society.
We are also pleased to welcome James Pennington,
Chapter Success Manager for the Barbershop Harmony
Society. He knows all things relative to the Healthy
Chapter Initiative and would be happy to visit with you
to help your chapter be more successful.
The SWD is happy to welcome MASTERPIECE quartet,
International Champions from 2013. They, along with
our own current International Chorus Champions, the
Vocal Majority, will headline our Saturday night show.
Additionally, MASTERPIECE will host a couple of classes
during the weekend to help spread the gospel of quartet
singing. We really appreciate them being with us this
weekend and thank them for sharing their talents and
knowledge with us.
It is hard for me to believe that I am nearing the end of
my second year as your President. The two years have
really flown by and there have been many successes
of which I am proud. Richard Howell will make an
outstanding District President and I congratulate him
and thank him for giving of his time and talent in order
for the District of Champions to continue to move
forward as one of the leading Districts in the BHS.
Enjoy the convention and please, take advantage of the
many opportunities to visit with friends and sing with old
and new friends.
EVERYONE IN HARMONY!
John Schneider, President,
Southwestern District, 2017-2018

Marketing and Managing Your Chorus
Cattle Baron Room Presented by Randy Meyer
You’ll learn about how to define “who you are,” and what
“products” you offer, then how to translate that into a plan
that drives membership retention and expansion, show
ticket sales, and creates a vibrant, well-run chapter.
Of All the Nerve! Stage Fright!!
Cattle Baron Room Presented by George Gipp
You’ve practiced, rehearsed, recoiled and recovered. Now
you’re on stage. Your mouth is dry, your vibrato has
vibrato, and you’re shaking in places you didn’t know you
had! So why am I so dog-gone nervous?!
Tell YOUR Story
Harvester Room Presented by Cary Burns
Every song has a story to tell. Every person has a story
to tell. Explore new ways to think about your delivery of
each song. Go beyond fast, slow, soft, loud, breathe, don’t
breathe. Use a creative, right-brain approach to create
engaging and fulfilling musical stories. Take a risk and go
beyond the basics.
4 - 4:50 PM...................................................................

SWD.orgSOUTHWESTERN DISTRICT
HALL OF FAME
The Southwestern District’s Hall of Fame
was organized and initiated in 1986-1987 to
recognize those SWD barbershoppers who have
made exceptional, long-standing, unselfish
and dedicated contributions to the Chapter,
the District, and the Society. This award exists
to extol the virtues of such excellence and
to focus pride on these achievements and
accomplishments.
SWD Hall of Fame inductees have been a member
of the district for not less than 10 years and of the
Society not less than 15 years. Contributions may
have been in areas of administration or music,
and are often both. Levels include Chapter,
Division, District and Society, and contributions
may be in the nature of service and activities
which have added to the overall well-being of the
District and furtherance of our hobby.
The service and activities could be in the areas of
quartetting, coaching, chorus directing, judging,
composing, arranging, administrating, teaching,
writing, promoting and others, and generally in
some combination of these.

INDUCTEE
BROOKS HARKEY
Brooks has moved his
Membership Recruitment
results from “Awesome” to
“Increasable.” Can you even
imagine successfully recruiting
54 (with more to come) Men of
Note new members one-at-a-
time!!! Almost always young
men that are seniors in high
school or beyond. And, as they
are growing up, their careers
are moving them away from
Brooks’ Vocal Majority base to
other chapters across America.
His achievement is a marvel to be admired.
Brooks has two well identified hobbies: working on one of his
17 cars, and shining the light of A Capella harmony singing to
uninitiated singers-to-be. His stupendous success has not been
unnoticed within our Barbershop Harmony world. He has served
on several of our singing Society’s international committees. He
has served our Southwestern District as Treasurer, as Director of
Membership Development . . . and other ways of commitment.
And he has served the VM as well, including their Board of
Directors.
And, not that it is a surprise, he has been featured a number of
times in our Harmonizer international magazine.
He was first introduced into the thrill of barbershop chord singing
“by an old man” from his church who would not give up in
wanting to take Brooks “just one time” to the Town North Dallas
Chapter’s chorus rehearsal. Well, there he found the thrill of the 7th
chord. Then, a number of years later, he joined the Vocal Majority
Chorus in Dallas, and somewhere along his trail he began inviting
others to join him in the wonderous, life-changing, discovery of
being within four-part harmony chords and blends.
Brooks is truly a “pied piper” of thoughtfulness and helpfulness.
To know him is to understand a willing-spirit. He often helps the
single moms of his recruits with their car and transportation issues.
He certainly is worthy of our SWD Hall of Fame distinction.

HALL OF FAME 2018
INDUCTEE
JACK STEVENS
Jack Stevens became a
member of SPEBSQSA in
the mid-1970 time-frame
when he joined the San
Diego Sun Harbor chapter.
Prior to that time, he was
exposed to the barbershop
genre at the US Naval
Academy where he sang
in several quartets as well
as the Naval Academy
Glee Club. Moving on to
Pensacola for flight training,
he formed a quartet calling
themselves the “Rip Chords”.
Navy deployments took him away from formal barbershopping
until the mid-1980’s when he moved to the Maryland/Virginia
area where he ended up joining the Alexandria Harmonizers.
Besides being their assistant bass section leader, he also held
several chapter offices. In 1992, he was the recipient of the
Harmonizer Honor Award and in 1997 received their very
prestigious Oz Newgard Memorial Award. He served as the
Harmonizer’s Music VP as well as their show producer for, as he
states, “like forever.”
His move to Texas allowed Jack to become a very active member
of the Heart of Texas Chorus where he served in a number of
positions on the HoT Leadership Team. He was selected their
BOTM 18 times and their Barbershopper of the Year in 2002.
Jack has served as an International Presentation judge and has
served on the faculty of the SWD Harmony Ranch on numerous
occasions. In addition to coaching quartets and choruses
throughout the Society, Jack also has served on the SWD Events
Team since its inception, the last three years as assistant chairman.
In fact, Jack was instrumental in establishing the concept of the
SWD Events Team. He has served on several occasions on the
SWD Board and in 2012, Jack was honored by the Southwestern
District as their Barbershopper of the Year. With his love for
competition, Jack currently sings with the Marcsmen.
To say that Jack is a barbershopper’s barbershopper would be
an understatement. He is a total giver of his talents and the
Southwestern District has many great reasons to be proud for the
many contributions of this 2018 Hall of Famer.
