The TVHM chorus membership was pleased to welcome Katie Macdonald of Barbershop Harmony Society to speak with us about recruiting new members, even while being quarantined under COVID-19 restrictions. 

Katie is a member of the barbershop quartet GQ (www.girlsquartet.com) and serves as Recruitment and Retention Manager for Barbershop Harmony Society (www.barbershop.org). We were privileged to have her join our weekly virtual meeting!

You can view her entire presentation here. 

She provided several resources throughout her talk, and they are noted below:

• BHS has built out an extensive list of resources for barbershoppers as we work through issues of COVID-19: www.barbershop.org/landing-pages/covid-19-resources-for-barbershoppers
• The Tualatin Valley Harmony Masters Facebook page is here: www.facebook.com/TualatinValley
• Barbershop tags are still a popular activity amongst our groups, and here's a resource to make singing them easier: www.barbershoptags.com
• BHS created a beautiful video capturing the difficulty of the quarantine situation, and encouraging our barbershop singing in the meantime: www.youtube.com/watch?v=59bqGv6bZkA
