Statesmen preparing for concert



The Sunshine Statesmen are having their annual concert on Saturday 1 November.

The talent lineup will feature a number of local choruses and quartets and promises to be a night to remember.

The venue is the Buderim War Memorial Hall and the concert starts at 7pm.

Tickets will be available either at Try booking or tickets at the door.

The Statesmen were formed as a not for profit organization in 1992 as a result of three members of a local quartet requiring an additional member. The advertising resulted in such overwhelming interest that instead of one additional singer the outcome became a fully-fledged chorus.

A Barbershop Chorus consists of four singing parts,those being Bass/Baritone/ /Lead and Tenor. This means a chorus can cater for all types of voices and the resultant four part harmonies are truly outstanding. There is no musical accompaniment and is known as Acapella singing.

The SSBC rehearses on Wednesday nights from 6-9pm at the Buderim Uniting Church Hall, Gloucester Road, Buderim. The repertoire of the chorus includes traditional Barbershop songs, popular music (Beatles/Roy Orbison/Beach Boys/John Denver plus more), Australian and Christmas songs.

The chorus performs regularly at such venues as retirement villages, care establishments, various concerts and functions in the area plus formal Barbershop conventions.

The joy and camaraderie that group singing and social activities the chorus is involved in is infectious, enjoyable and good for the soul.
