Le quatuor 4Give n 4Get invité au concours d'automne 2023 du NED / The 4Give n 4Get quartet invited to Fall 2023 NED Contest

 Une expérience désolante qui se termine bien

Afin d'être invité à chanter à la conférence et concours d'automne du Northeastern District (NED), un quatuor doit se qualifier lors d'un concours de division au printemps.

Lors de la conférence et concours du printemps 2023, la chorale South Shore Saints, le Very Large Quartet (VLQ) Little Devils ainsi que le quatuor Recycled Parts se sont tous qualifiés pour la conférence d'automne 2023.  La situation fut toutefois différente pour le quatuor 4Give n 4Get.

En route pour la conférence du printemps 2023, le quatuor s'est heurté à la bureaucratie américaine à la frontière.  Un des membres s'est vu refusé l'accès aux États-Unis parce qu'un nouveau document était maintenant requis.  Tout a été tenté afin d'obtenir le document à temps mais ce ne fût pas possible.  Ainsi, le quatuor n'a pas pu participer à ce concours.

Afin de compenser pour les inconvénients, le NED a invité 4Give n 4Get à chanter lors de la semi-finale de vendredi de la conférence d'automne se tenant du 27 au 29 octobre 2023.  Un gros merci à NED pour cette invitation.  

À moins d'une semaine de cette merveilleuse opportunité d'être réunis et de chanter à nouveau dans un concours de NED, nous sommes tous fébriles et avons hâte à cet évènement.

 From Desolation to Consolation

To be invited to sing at the Fall Conference, a quartet must qualify at the Spring Division Contest.

At the 2023 Spring Contest, the South Shore Saints Chorus, Little Devils (a Very Large Quartet, or VLQ) and Recycled Parts (a quartet) all qualified for the 2023 Fall Contest.  However, it was different for the 4Give n 4Get (another Quartet).

En route to the 2023 Spring Contest, the quartet hit a paperwork problem at the United States border.  One of us was denied access because a new document was missing.  Despite all the efforts of the quartet, the document was not received on time.  Thus, the quartet did not sing at this contest.

To make up for this, NED has invited 4Give n 4Get to sing at the Fall Contest quartet semi-final on Friday.  The Contest and Conference will be held from the 27th to the 29th October 2023.  A warm Thank You to NED for inviting us.

Less than one week to this awesome opportunity to be together and sing again in a NED contest, we all are eager and enthusiasts about this happening.

A Memorable Spaghetti Supper

It was an honour for us to sing with Guy Filion (Baritone), immediate-past president, who celebrated his 77th Birthday at our annual Spaghetti Supper this past Saturday, September 23, 2023. It was a poignant moment; it was perhaps the first time since pre-pandemic days for him to sing in a quartet at this signature South Shore Saints event. In June, our baritone Andre relocated to the city of Sherbrooke. It was only a few weeks ago that we asked Guy if he could step in to help us prepare some songs for this event. We were grateful that he accepted, for without him, we could not have performed for our supporters. We were confident with the first song, Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Queen) . Our second, With a Little Help From My Friends (The Beatles) , had been a challenge. In fact, when we ran through the song just before taking the stage, we were tripped up again by the lyrics. We faced a choice: to sing one song, or ask our friends in the audience ... for a little help!   Sheet ...
