Singing Valentines 2007
By The Hawkseye editor Richard Anderson

One of the best and funnest fund-raisers the Harmony Hawks has to offer is Singing Valentines. This was my first year to participate as a quartet with Roadtrip, being that Dick Ormond was recovering from surgery.  I was given the opportunity to see first-hand what it was like. Nevertheless,  there were numerous emotions from the folks that received their gifts but all.were very appreciative. Including the quartet I was with, that made four quartets traveling around Cedar Rapids delivering these unique gifts.

Editors Tag - Emotions
By Richard Anderson,  Hawkseye Editor

Every song tells a story and creates some type of emotion. Often a song has many emotions in it. Know the story line and create excitement by singing with the proper emotion. Paint the Picture! In other words, determine what the words are about and interpret them so the audience can understand the emotions of those words. Make the story come alive in your mind and in the minds of your audience. We need to concentrate on matching the voices of the singers beside each of us. on both sides. your voice should be no louder or softer than theirs. There should be a nice blend of sound. The goal is to have "one voice" from each section singing the same volume, matching each vowel and word. Not easy, you say? Right! The first step in achieving this goal is to learn your words and notes so nobody tries to help you by singing loudly in your ear, and then to LISTEN to the voices around you.
