Tucson Cracks 70%!

The Tucson Barbershop eXperience scored 70.5 to capture the AA Plateau championship at the 2009 Arizona Division Contest on April 25 in Phoenix. That score is the highest achieved by the competition chorus in over 10 years. The score also earned Tucson the Most Improved Chorus award and qualified for an invitation to the Far Western District Fall Competition in Sacramento in October as well as second place overall.
3rd Annual Youth In Harmony Festival
a Huge Success!


September 6, 2008. The event drew 250 students and music educators from 15 Southern Arizona high schools. A full day of vocal technique, history of Barbershop and learning 3 songs was followed by a show presented to
the friends and families at Sahuaro High School Auditorium.
Teaching clinicians Connie Keil and Charla Esser were supported by Dayle Ann Cook and Havin' A Blast quartet from Tucson Desert Harmony and Eastsiders and Sonoran Sound quartets from The Tucson Sunshine Chapter.
Jeff Dolan, director of Tucson Barbershop eXperience, served as production manager and MC for the afternoon show. The entire event was organized and coordinated by Ron and Annie Hayes with support from Paul Ludwig, George Gerby, Karl Trader and members of the Tucson Sunshine Chapter and Tucson Desert Harmony.
