The Holiday Season is one of charity and giving.  During normal years, our chorus has collected and donated food and toys for those less fortunate.  This season, since we will not be meeting in person for our usual holiday celebration, we will be donating to the North Hollywood Interfaith Food Pantry instead.  If you wish to donate, please write a check for what you can afford, make the check out to "The San Fernando Valley Chapter" and write Interfaith Food Pantry in the memo field.  Mail the check to "The Valley Harmony Singers, 14960 Sherman Way, #A103, Van Nuys, CA 91405".  The checks will be consolidated and a single check from the Chapter will be sent to the Food Pantry.  The Valley Harmony Singers is a 501(c)

On Monday December 21, 2020 the Valley Harmony Singers (VHS) will be celebrating our annual Holiday Party in a virtual manner during our regular 7:30-9:00 PST weekly rehearsal. There will still be a lot of singing and perhaps a number of delicious snacks. This time, however, BYOS! We will also be lifting a cup of cheer to wish in the New Year and hopefully wear something apropos to this time of year. There will be special entertainment from our members and from guest artists as well. We will sing a number of holiday songs and have some holiday-themed videos as well.

Brent Anderson, the district VP for our division spoke at our last vitual rehearsal.  He  summarized what was going on in the Far Western District, and was effusive in praising the commitment our members have shown it supporting our chapter.  Our rehearsals, our Teaching Quartet and our new website place us at the top of Far Western District as far as maintaining a successful chapter through these challenging times.

Halloween lasts an hour longer this year!

Remember to set you clocks back one hour this Saturday night/Sunday Morning.

On the last rehearsal day of October, which will be October 26th, all participants to our virtual ZOOM rehearsal are encouraged to attend in costume! Please remember the following:

Our chorus will not be rehearsong on September 28th this year.  Our next rehearsal after today will be at 7:30 pm October 5th.  As usual, all guests are welcome, please email us at [email protected] for more information and for instructions on how to join our ZOOM rehearsal.

Tha Valley Harmony Singers wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous year.  And for everyone else, Happy International Talk Like A Pirate Day!  AARGH...

Since most of our chorus members have decided to forgo Labor Day weekend getaways and large barbeques, we have decided to have our normal rehearsal schedule.  We will be using our ZOOM Breakout rooms to rehearse "What a Wonderful World" and "Back in the Old Routine".  If you are not a member but wish to sit in, email us at [email protected].

Our new website is now live at ValleyHarmonySingers.org.  Currently ValleyHarmonySingers.com points to our old site, but that will change shortly as the pointers are adjusted.  There are many new features in our new site that we are currently taking advantage of including:

An expanded Email system
A contact system 
A music organizing system that will include the ability to track learning progress
An enhanced event calendaring system

And many more features that we will look into within the current month.

VHS had it's first rehearsal since quarentine that included actual singing!  No, it didn't include actual ensemble singing, but it did include all of our attendees singing with their learning tracks for their section.  The Music team was impressed by the response, and will continue with the breakout sectionals at least twice/month.
