BARBERSHOP HARMONY

BY ED BRUCE edbrucevegas@yahoo.com

THIS WAS IT........ AND IT WAS SPECTACULAR

THEY CAME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR THIS...WE JUST

CAME 452 MILES FROM LAS VEGAS AND IT WAS WELL WORTH

THE TRIP....SOMETIMES REPORTING IS A GREAT JOY...HERE
THE PENULTIMATE EXAMPLE.

.

THREE DAYS FOR US........PEPPERMILL CASINO RESORT IN RENO

JUST AN EXCELLENT VENUE.....DON'T THINK THE PEPPERMILL

DID A GOOD JOB PROMOTING THIS IN HOUSE...NO SIGNS ON

EVERY CORNER OR FLOOR OR GREETING BANNERS.

.

THIS REPORT LIKE ALL OUR STORIES...RANDOM REACTIONS AND

REPORTS ON THE EVENT.

.

GREAT GREAT SOUND IN THIS THEATRE.......NICE THAT THEY

WOULDN'T SCREW UP THE THEME OF THE EVENT.

.

TWO BIG SCREENS ON THE SIDES OF THE VENUE...THEY SCREWED

THIS UP...BAD EDITING AND DIRECTING AS OFTEN THE FEATURED

VOCALIST WAS NOT ON VIDEO AND SILENT MOUTHS WERE.

.

OVERALL QUALITY OF THE SINGERS JUST WAY OVER THE TOP...

WE FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS IN LAS VEGAS 2014 AND RUMORS HAVE

THE INTERNATIONAL EVENT RETURNING TO LAS VEGAS IN JULY 2017

WE CAN ONLY HOPE THIS IS TRUE AND START PROMOTING SOON.

.

WE SPENT TWO 6 HOUR SESSIONS WITH THE SENIORS AND THE YOUTH

QUARTETS....SIMPLY A WONDERFUL PART OF OUR LIVES...

.

MUSIC SELECTION JUST GREAT...POPULAR OLD SONGS WITH AN ARTFUL

CREATIVE TOUCH...SOME BETTER THAN OTHERS OF COURSE.

.

EXTREMELY PROUD OF MYSELF PICKING THE WINNING SENIORS TEAM

AND THE TOP TWO RUNNERUPS IN ORDER....MY TALK WITH THE JUDGES

WAS A BIG HELD....MUSIC....HARMONY...INTERPRETATION....SO WONDERFUL

TO HEAR ALL THE WORDS TO THESE SONGS IN CONTRAST TO CONTEMPORARY

DRUMS AND GUITARS DROWNDING OUT LYRICS.....YEAR !

.
DAMN FEW NOTES MISSED IN THIS THREE DAY SET.
.

HAD A QUARTET FROM MILWAUKEE......KIDS....MAYBE 15...THEY WERE QUADS

AND WE SAW THEM TWICE....REVEALING THERE IS HOPE FOR THE WORLD IN

OUR YOUNG PEOLPE.  UNIQUE....ONE SMALL BOY WITH A BEAUTIFUL BOW TIE
AND SIX TALLER SISTERS.....AND IAN WAS THE OLDEST BY MINUTES

.

ANOTHER GROUP OF 8 CAME FROM NEW JERSEY....THEY LOOKED SO ODD BUT

THEIR HEART AND PRESENTATION WON THE DAY....ODD SIZES...ODD COLORS..

ODD UNIFROMS....AND A WONDERFUL CONDUCTOR.....A BLIND SINGER AND

HIS TEAMMATES HELPED HIM AND HOW HE HELPED THEM....BROUGHT TEARS

TO MY EYES AND I THANK THEM FOR ENTERTAINING ME TO A BIG DEGREE.

.

INTERNATIONAL BARBERSHOP COMPETITION IN NASHVILLE THIS SUMMER.

WORTH THE TRIP...REALLY HOPE 2017 RETURNS TO LAS VEGAS.

.

QUALITY PEOPLE....THRU OUT.....NO NOISE....NO JACKASSES....NO DRUNKS...NO

ONE OUT OF LINE....NO SECURITY NEEDED

.

WONDERFUL PROGRAM WITH THE LINEUP OF ALL SINGING TEAMS...IT WAS

PERFECT.....LOTS OF EXECUTIVE MEETINGS AND GATHERINGS HERE...FOR THE

GOOD I HOPE

.
LAS VEGAS TOP THREE EVENTS...NASCAR...PBR...CURLING SEND A EMAIL UPDATE
PROMOTION EVERYDAY.....WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA HERE
.

DIDN'T SEE AS MUCH SINGING IN THE CASINO AS I DID IN LAS VEGAS TWO YEARS

AGO....THOUGHT THAT WAS A NICE INTERACTIVE TOUCH.

.

LAS VEGAS ENTERTAINMENT NEWS COULD NOT HAVE ENJOYED THIS MORE OR

HAD A BETTER EXPERIENCE WITH THE BARBERSHOP AND PEPPERMILL TEAM

.

THANK YOU.

.

IT ALL STARTED ON TIME.
