Calling on Your Neighbors with a Song.

The Mainely Music Chorus recently made a visit to entertain the good folks at Avalon Village in Hampden, Me. The MC for the evening concert was none other than our very own Jim Franklin who sings in lead section of the chorus and lives at Avalon. Jim has been a barbershopper for some time now and wanted to share his hobby with his neighbors. A good time was had by all.   

Do We Sing ‘Em and How

If you’re singing “Bill Grogens Goat” or “Who Threw the Overalls in Mrs. Murphy Chowder,” they will bring out the emotional elements of these two songs for a good laugh to any Baritone, and yes a few tears also. Although these two songs have not been  sung for a while, I’m not sure what brought these two baritones to the level of  uncontrolled  laughter for one, and the other to tears…….or was that from a recent cold?

If you’re not singing with the Mainely Music Chorus then you’re missing out on a lot of fun and camaraderie. Bill and Jim would love to show you how to sing “Baritone.”

See you at Bangor Parks and Rec Building, at 647 Main Street, Bangor, Me. at 7:00 pm every Monday night.

The Mainely Music Chorus got togather on Saturday March 5  2015 at the Oriental Jade's restaurent to install their officers for the comming year.

This was also the occasion where by the the chours membershiop got to choose that member from the chorus to be honored for  Barbershop of The Year award for 2015. 

Of Sunday April 26, 2015 the Mainely Music Chorus performed at Minsky Hall on the University of Maine campus. The chorus performed several of their songs which they will also be doing on their annual show May 2, 2015 at 2 PM.

On Wednesday March 25, 2015, the Rusty Pipes quartet performed for the residents at the Colonial Acres Nursing Home in Lincoln, Me.The Pipes were there to full fill a commitment they had agreed to do back in February on Valentines Day.But due to a series of illnesses, vacations and lets not forget snow storms thrown in there for good measure it was decided to hold off on the valentine venture until every one was healthy. Well wouldn't you know it, when the Pipes arrived for their performance on Wednesday, the intended recipient was not there.

The Mainely Music Chorus  on March 14, 2015, after dodging snow storms during the month of February, finally got to have their Installation of Officers and Recognition Dinner. The Oriental Jade's banquet room served the chorus well with good food, lots of good conversation, laughter and of course Barbershop singing. The chorus sang three numbers that will be on our show May 2nd, and the chapter quartets each sang one of thief favorite songs for the guest. The occasion also gave way to showcase a couple of mystery quartets that gave members a chance to sing for their family and friends. Well done men!

The quartet Who's On B Flat completed another successful two day event of delivering Singing Valentines in the greater Bangor area on February 13th and14th. The recipients received two great old Barbershop love songs, a small box of chocolates and red rose to put a big smile on their face and yes sometimes a bit of tear in the eye. Most folks had no idea why we were there at first but soon realized that someone cared enough for them, to give a most unusual valentine gift. Lots of smiles and happy faces were seen these two beautiful sunny days in February. At least for those two days the snow storms took a different route to the Atlantic. The B Flats would like to thank WABI TV and their staff for all their help in promoting this fun activity in our region of the state.

On Wednesday December 17, 2014 Rusty Pipes slogged through the driving rain and made their way to the Cummings Healthcare Senior Home where they entertained residents and staff with their singing. They did a mix of Christmas songs and a few Barbershop songs from their repertoire. The residents really enjoyed their singing style. After the performance the Pipes made their way to Trapier's Restaurant in Endield and had an enjoyable dinner.
