This October 9th, 2022, the voices of Vocal Sounds of Oklahoma were raised in jubilation as they were awarded the Men's Chorus championship bowl from the Southwestern District of the Barbershop Harmony Society's 5-state annual convention and competition. Taking 28 men across the stage and presenting what could only be described as their most emotional performance yet, these men delivered emotional highs and lows as they sang their final farewell to that young cowpoke who just wanted land, lots of land under star filled sky above, yet fell to the great wild west and it's perils.

2020 August - Retreat

0

We weren't able to make it out west of the city for our chorus retreat this year so we decided to have one locally and ensuring everyone was socially distanced, wearing masks, and singing at least 6-12 feet apart. We had about 20 or so show but still had a blast working through our contest songs and getting coached by Joe Krones!

 

Singing socially distanced still worked pretty well. It makes you focus more on listening.

 

2020 May - Mercy Hospital Sing Out

0

After the rise of COVID-19 our chorus, along with countless others across the nation, made the decision to halt in-person rehearsals. About a month later, we all had not sung together or met in person and decided we wanted to give back to the community. After a couple outdoor rehearsals keeping social distancing and attempting to sing in masks, we were able to line up singing for the health providers and professionals at Mercy Hospital. We performed outdoors for the Mercy Hospital staff in order to show our appreciation for their hard work and dedication during these trying times. 

Getting ready to sing to the staff
