FROM THE PRESIDENT
WELCOME TO
NASHVILLE AND THE
GRAND OLE OPRY!
WELCOME TO THE BEST
MIDWINTER IN SOCIETY HISTORY!
Skipp Kropp has said exactly that for each of the last two
years and I say it again, because every Midwinter since Don’t miss the
the first one has been even more interesting and more opportunity to meet
exciting than the year before. Nashville and the Grand and talk with Dick
Ole Opry are sure to maintain that tradition. Powell and other Society
leaders at the Town Hall
Be sure to enjoy everything this wonderful location has Meeting on Thursday
to offer. Stroll through the Gaylord Opryland Hotel, dine from 3 - 4 P.M. in the
Governor’s Ballroom C.
in restaurants to suit every taste and pocketbook, marvel
at the Next Generation Junior Quartet and Chorus
performers; cheer on your favorites in the Seniors
Quartet Contest and the Seniors Chorus Invitational; and enjoy the 100+ member
all-chapter chorus. If that were not enough, take some time to sample some of the
Harmony University classes that will be offered throughout the convention. And don’t
forget the Keynote Address from Theo Hicks on Thursday afternoon.
But there’s far more to do than watching others sing and perform. Take advantage
of the opportunity to renew old friendships, create new ones, and sing and ring tags
with singers young and old. Savor the warm, accepting, and encouraging culture
that is the hallmark of our Society and enjoy the company of over 2,000 fellow
barbershoppers.
Two years ago we announced our new strategic vision to take us into a bright future.
Here in Nashville you’ll experience that vision in action. Thank you for joining my
wife Roxanne and me and so many of our friends to celebrate our love of music and
witness first-hand the power of Everyone in Harmony!

FISK JUBILEE
SINGERS®
The Fisk Jubilee Singers®
are vocal artists and students at
Fisk University in Nashville, Tenn.,
who sing and travel worldwide. The
original ensemble introduced the Negro
spiritual to the world in 1871 as they traveled
and raised money to sustain Fisk University.
The ensemble was also instrumental in preserving
this unique American musical tradition. During their
early years of travel and performance, they sang for crowned
heads around the world. The Fisk Jubilee Singers continue the tradition
of singing the Negro spiritual around the world, and recently performed in renowned venues such as
The Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, Smithsonian Institute, Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum,
The White House, and Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. In 2007 the ensemble also traveled and
performed in Ghana at the invitation of the Department of State in celebration of Ghana’s
50th Independence anniversary. The two-time GRAMMY nominated Fisk Jubilee Singers
have received numerous awards including the induction into the Music City Walk of
Fame, the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, the GRAMMY Hall of Fame. In 2008, the
Fisk Jubilee Singers were awarded the 2008 National Medal of Arts by
former President George W. Bush at the White House.

international contest stage of any of the major

a transformative movement of Community

as a metaphorical model by which we as a
diverse people in one nation can learn to heal

By the time you’ve hit five or ten years as a Barbershopper, you’ve probably
crossed that tipping point where you know this is going to be forever. You’ve

there into a lifestyle, then into a mission, until at last, barbershop is your identity.
If barbershop is your life, you should consider becoming a Lifetime Member.
