What a wonderful week it was in St. Louis! We placed 28th in the chorus contest out of 39 choruses competing! Thank you to all of our friends in NED for supporting us as we crossed the stage! Whether you were with us in person or watching virtually, we felt the love and encouragement from each and every one of you. We especially want to shout-out Voices United Mixed Chorus for the wonderful send-off video! It gave us encouragement and brought us much joy! We also want to thank Vocal Revolution for coming along for the ride! It was fun having the entire Greater Boston Chapter together in the city. We enjoyed spending the week with you!

Another big highlight from our week was watching the quartet finals last night, where GQ took home the gold! This is the first time a women's quartet has won the quartet competition in the Barbershop Harmony Society! When we came to International in Denver last year, they surprised us by coming to one of our rehearsals and singing for us. This year, we were granted an opportunity to see them perform before they hit the stage for the Semifinals during a set swap between ourselves, Metro Voices, and Space City Sound. Being a small, treble chorus, it's easy to get discouraged when you're up against so many other groups, but you inspire us to get better every day. Thank you for everything that you do. To say we are thrilled for you would be an understatement, we are absolutely ecstatic and are so incredibly hopeful for the future of Barbershop. Congratulations to all of you! You earned it! Enjoy your championship year!

Thank you to everyone that came out to see our show, Expedition Five, on May 31st! We truly enjoyed performing for you! Special thanks to our show directors, Ciara and Jacob, for all of the hard work they put into the production, our chorus director, Cay, for everything he does (if we were to list everything he does for us, we'd be here for a very long time, trust us), as well as all the others working behind the scenes to make this show possible. We couldn't have done it without you!

Interested in seeing more of us? VocaMotion rehearses the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month at Follen Church in Lexington!

This weekend, we had a lovely retreat with the amazing Blair Brown! Thank you so much for coming all this way to spend some time with us! We can't wait to bring everything we worked on this weekend to St. Louis in July! We'd also like to give a special thank you to our chapter treasurer, Carl, for letting us borrow his living room in the morning while our retreat site was having their Sunday church service.

If you're in New England and want to see what we were working on, we have good news for you! Catch us at Arts of the Armory in Somerville on May 31st at 2 pm! We'll be performing the set we're bringing to International, as well as our Barbershop Acapella Space Opera, Expedition Five, written and directed by members of VocaMotion and our brother chorus, Vocal Revolution!

In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, it's that time of year where we're looking for ads to promote during our show, Expedition Five, happening in just a few shorts weeks on May 31st at the Arts of the Armory!

We had a fantastic weekend at the NED Southern Regional Convention! We debuted one of our two songs we're bringing to the BHS International Contest in St. Louis, MO and we think it was a hit. It was the first contest with VoMo for four of our members and they handled it like champions. We're so glad we got to share the stage with them and so many others this weekend. Thank you all for a wonderful contest!

We hope to see you all soon, perhaps closer to home for our spring show, Expedition Five, happening on May 31st at Arts of the Armory in Somerville, MA!

Before we hit the Division stage in a week and a half, let's get to know one of our VoMo leads, Jordan Friedman!

You might recognize Jordan from quartets Aberdeen and Goofin' 'n' Doofin'. She fondly remembers her first quartet contest with Goofin' 'n' Doofin', not knowing what to expect when they hit the contest stage with their attire, but you can hear their trademark "Wow!" and accompanying arm movement within the NED community.

She joined VoMo after watching the chorus from afar until a new work opportunity allowed for her to finally audition and commit to joining another chorus! When asked what she loves about VoMo, she told us "I love any opportunity to sing with my friends, but I also particularly love singing in a chorus directed by Cay. He is so talented and continues to challenge us and keep us on our toes at every rehearsal."

Outside of Barbershop, Jordan is a preschool teacher that loves bringing music and singing into the classroom, and sporting her favorite color, the rainbow. 🌈

You can meet Jordan and all the other members of VocaMotion at Follen Church in Lexington the 1st and 3rd (and sometimes 5th) Wednesday of every month!
