Murray’s Welcome - continued
Welcome
to the
2014 Fall NED Convention
in beautiful Providence, Rhode Island!
O
n behalf of the members of the
Northeastern District Board of Directors,
welcome to the Northeastern District 2014
convention. We are very pleased that you are
with us this weekend, and we hope that you
have a wonderful time.
W
e are here to celebrate the music, since
that is what brings us together. The
songs we sing in the barbershop style, making
chords ring is what it is all about. So let’s sing
songs, tags and have a great time!
A
s we are enjoying this time together,
help me thank Mike Maino and his local
committee and Dave Cole and the Events Team
for making this a great weekend. I have had
some experience behind the scenes, and I know
that they do a great job making it look effortless.
Yours in harmony,
T
his Convention marks the start of an
important experiment the District is
trying in 2015. We are inviting any quartet or
chorus that wishes to participate in the 2015
District Convention and Contest to join us
without having to qualify in the spring, and
to make the event an exciting weekend filled
with Gold Medal Moments. The International
Quartet Preliminary Contest also will be held
in conjunction with the District Convention,
instead of in the spring. This will give our
quartets additional time to get coaching and to
raise funds to attend International the following
summer. This is being implemented at this
convention for the first time, so we welcome
our quartet competitors hoping to qualify for
the International Competition in Pittsburgh, PA
June 28 to July 5, 2015.
W
e are eager for chapters and individuals
to consider developing activities that
would happen during the spring to replace
division contests. A festival, a youth event, a
woodshedding weekend, a harmony school for
your chapter or Division - these are all ideas
worth exploring, and the District Board will
be looking for ways to assist you to bring your
ideas to life. You probably have a better idea
just waiting to be brought to life. Let us know
what we can do to help make it happen.

Quiet must prevail outside the entrance to the auditorium and in
the concourse areas, in fairness to the competing quartets and
choruses. Smoking is prohibited at all times in all areas. No food
or drink is allowed in the auditorium. Please turn OFF all pagers,
cell phones & alarm watches. You don’t need those now! Also,
crying or restless infants and children are like good ideas, the
quicker they are carried out, the better! Enjoy the performances!
Admittance to the Auditorium
Entry and exit are permitted between contestants during the contest
sessions, but please do so quickly and quietly. Contestants will not
be introduced while people are moving about the auditorium. No
one may leave or enter the auditorium while contestants are on stage.
No Recordings - Audio or Video - Camera or Phone
Copyright law strictly limits the use of audio or video recording
during any performance. No camera, audio or video device,
whether or not in use, is permitted in the place of performance
without permission of the Society. Any person found possessing
any such device will be required to leave immediately. The tape,
film, memory card or other recording medium or device will be
confiscated and any unauthorized recordings erased or destroyed.
Enforcement of the copyright law protects you and us; but most
importantly, it protects the copyright owners who make our music
and performance possible.
Thank you! Your support and cooperation are greatly appreciated.

NO! It’s the NED sponsored...
STANDING OVATION PROGRAM
…designed to assist chapters in developing shows that
will be so good that they achieve a Standing Ovation at
their conclusion. The reviewer will investigate all aspects of
the show, starting with how easy it is to park his car to his
arrival at the venue and then all aspects of the show itself,
from the opening to the closing curtains. Many things make
up the experience of an audience member and that’s what
the reviewer wants to find
out… how welcome has the
chapter made each audience
member. The reviewer will try
to highlight the many positive
things that the chorus did
and point out the areas where
improvements can be made.

Do You Like To
Sing Authentic
“Traditional”
Barbershop?
We at Main Street USA Chorus do, too. Our purpose
is to enjoy the Fun and Fellowship of Barbershop
Harmony as we did in the SPEBSQSA Era. Enjoy
ringing chords like Lou Perry taught us to do. We
have no risers and no dues. We are not a BHS
Chapter. Men of all ages who love to sing the old
songs are welcome to visit with us for a night of
traditional barbershop harmony. We also love to sing
Tags,Woodshed and, of course, quartet!

Anthems
O CANADA!
O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER
Oh, say! can you see, by the dawn’s
early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the
twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were
so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare,
The bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our
flag was still there.
Oh, say! does that star-spangled
banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home
of the brave?
