B-OHS vocalists attend 13th annual Youth In Harmony events
The 13th annual Youth In Harmony Festival and Concert was held at the BARC (Business, Arts and Recreation Center) in Windom on Saturday, January 21.
Attendees at the day-long activity were Butterfield-Odin Public High School (B-OHS) vocalists Julie Saunders, . Joshua Tonkin is the school’s vocal instructor. The Windom Area Chordhustlers hosted the event.
The day, which is open to all area high school students, began at 9 a.m. with clinics and rehearsals – and ended with a concert at 4 p.m. that included an eight-part mass barbershop chorus.
The Youth In Harmony Festival is a celebration of barbershop music. Barbershop-style a capella music is uniquely an American musical art form. It is known for four-part harmony and “expanded sound” created by its consonance, unique chord structure and vocal placement.
