Community Arts Access Project

1 - Provide an opportunity for young men in the area to interact and sing with other men. Specifically, many more men than they usually sing with in their own High School choirs, and men of all ages. 2 - The addition of the Great Northern Union - an internationally recognized barbershop chorus. It is our goal to increase participants' knowledge of, and experience with, barbershop literature. 3 - Expose audience to the powerful presence of a semi-professional singing organization.1. Most participants sing with 30 or less men in their High School choir. We will count the number of participants by age groups (student/adult/retired adult). 2. Students will attend a barbershop master class, and will perform one piece of barbershop music using techniques learned. Growth is measured by their ability to successfully perform the piece. Data collected through video/audio recording. 3. The Great Northern Union will perform 45 minutes as part of the public concert, all Real Men Sing! Participants will watch them for free.
