For those of you that use HarmonySite to manage your chorus, have you successfully built an automation that sends event emails on a schedule.

Looking at the API documentation, and it looks mostly like a call to the database for list reports more than anything.

End goal is that Id like to have event emails sent automatically a few days before said event. Manually doing so can be hit or miss for me, and unfortunately, many of our members are tech illiterate so either im doing it or no one knows what we’re singing every rehearsal.

If not, ill be contacting support before i attempt to build something.

Would anyone happen to know of an app or free online site where you can set up and track who you sang with during a brigade? My chapter is planning a mini-brigade and we’re hoping to have a digital way to check off who people sang with.

Thank you for the help!

I live in a rural area, about 3 hours from the closest competitive chorus.
Before you tell me to just start a chorus in my own area, it’s been tried more than once and it has failed each time.

I used to do the drive each week but it’s just too far with working all week. The closest community focused chorus is a minimum of 2 hours away. I am not cut out for that type of chorus.

I have been in a competitive quartet but being so far away has its challenges and we parted ways after International last year. I have not been able to find another group that wants to focus on contest with a long distance member.

I’ve sung barbershop for almost 20 years, it’s been my main hobby but I’m increasingly discouraged by the lack of options. I don’t have a lot of other hobbies since this one takes up so much time. I love singing but you can’t do this by yourself and I feel like maybe it’s time to just give up.

I was at a rehearsal for a chorus, and I was asked not to sing. I was standing for 2 and a half hours holding my music but not singing and feeling like an idiot. It was my fourth visit, and the bass section had gotten together earlier to rehearse some new music so maybe they didn't want me mucking up the notes trying to sing along with the whole chorus. But the director said up front that he expected the other visitors to sing along and make mistakes. Maybe I'm singing badly and loudly I don't know. It's been a long time since I have sung in any group and almost 40 years since I've sung barbershop so I'm a little rusty. But I get complements at church from people standing in front of my while singing. I don't know. I enjoy singing. I just feel uncomfortable going back to that group. Am I crazy?

There are already some bangers on there, and more are coming every day. Let's go!

Hey! I’ve gotten a lot more into barbershop recently (even though I’ve loved it since I first heard it in 2017 in Cuphead) and I’ve recorded a few really bad tags, some from Cuphead and the others all being from Tim Waurick’s tags! I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how they record tags. Mine are just on my phone because I don’t have a mic, but I keep using CapCut for them. The problem is that I need it to be connected to Bluetooth for the feedback to not be horrible but the Bluetooth causes a delay and makes my voices not match up. If there’s a better way to do this, I would love to know!

Looking for old recordings. Thanks!

Hey guys. I have been searching for their AGT performance on Youtube, but it appears to be lost media since no one has the footage except AGT themselves. Is it possible to find any videos of their performance?
