On Saturday, January 16, the Heralds had the chance to spend the day with Mark Hale (quartet gold medalist with Michigan Jake in 2001, and multiple chorus gold medal director of the Masters of Harmony from southern California). Mark s incredible musical insights and understanding of what make a chorus truly great were so graciously shared with HoH throughout that day and on into the evening with our chapter leadership. We are deeply indebted to this great barbershopper for effectively pushing us on toward the next steps of Heralds excellence and achievement.

11 Well, the 2010 BHS Midwinter convention, held here in beautiful Tampa, is just about history.

So THANKS to this guy who dreamed up the idea of HoH hosting a Midwinter... and THANKS to this guy (Nick Schwob) who led all our efforts in a fantastic way. and. THANKS to all these dudes who, in the middle of Gasparilla week, made it all work like it was supposed to. We re proud to be part of BHS and prouder still to be the TAMPA Chapter!
