Great News! OPMC has reached an agreement to hold weekly rehearsals in the “gathering room” at the Olympic Theatre Arts Center in Sequim. Starting on April 2nd. This is a great opportunity for OPMC that will benefit the chorus and also help OTA.
Come by for a visit.

Last Tuesday, OPMC held a guest night with good results. Found a voice part for one of the guys who has been coming for the last few weeks but wasn’t able to get into the right section — now he is happy as a bass. Two new guys also in the Bass section who we hope had a good enough time to come back and join the group. Then a Baritone that had been in the chorus some time ago who came back to help that section. And last but not least one of the guys from the Lead section who has been battling some medical issues was back and sounding strong.
“Harmony Hi-Way”
On March 2nd the Olympic Peninsula Men’s Chorus will be presenting 2 concerts at Sequim High School Auditorium, a 2pm matinee and a 7:07pm evening show. Tickets for both shows are $12 and all seats are general admission.
“Harmony Hi-Way” follows the chorus as they tour the United States starting in Coney Island and traveling to San Francisco. Along the way they stop to perform songs related to where they might be on the map like “Coney Island Baby”, “Shenandoah”, and “San Francisco Bay Blues”, among others.
The bus the group has hired has some very special qualities. For example, the chorus will travel across the country in around 45 minutes including the stops. The bus also has a very dramatic effect on the two guys who are sharing the driving. Something that you will need to come and see for yourself.
OPMC’s guests are the Grand Olympics Chorus (GOC) of Sweet Adelines International, which is performing on the men’s show for the first time in a number of years; Aspire! a great local women’s quartet; and the quartet “No Batteries Required” will also be featured on the show.
OPMC’s special guests are “Madison Park”, whose members come from the Puget Sound area and Canada. “Madison Park” has been active in Barbershop Harmony Society competitions and in 2012 they were named the Division II Champions and were 2nd Place Medalists in the Evergreen District, which includes Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Alberta, and British Columbia. Their 2nd place medal qualified them to compete at the Barbershop Harmony Society International event.
Tickets can be purchased from any OPMC member, or GOC member, and Pacific Mist Books in Sequim, Port Book and News and the Peninsula Daily News in Port Angeles. You can contact the chorus by calling 360 681-7761 and find them on Facebook.

OPMC will be doing 2 concerts on March 2nd at the Sequim HS auditorium. 2pm and 7:07pm. Our guests are the award winning women’s quartet Aspire! , Madison Park an Evergreen District award winning quartet from the Puget Sound area, and the Grand Olympics Chorus of Sweet Adelines International.

OPMC will be presenting their 2013 concert on March 2 at the Sequim HS auditorium. At this point the working theme is “traveling” but we expect it to change as we move forward on the music. But you can mark your calendars with March 2nd.
OPMC did a sing out at the Clallam County Fair on the Sunny Farms stage, which was temporarily tagged as the “Richard E. Davies DDS” stage based on the banner behind us. Good weather — not too hot. We got a good crowd and we were even able to embarrass one of the Fair royalty by singing the song “Hello Mary Lou” to her.
