Standing Ovation Program

Bobby Huber, Chairman, Standing
Ovation Program
About the S.O.P. Program. What is it?? How does it
work? Who do I contact?
Well it is real easy and real simple and real cheap.
The STANDING OVATION PROGRAM EVALUATION goes like this: When you get your
APPROVAL DATE from the District Secretary, it will have a request for you to
contact me (BobbyHuber@comcast.net)
if you are interested in the process. You may download a “Standing Ovation Program”
Request Form. Submit the completed form to me at as instructed on the form.
A trained Evaluator will come to your Show /
Activity and all it costs your chapter (or Quartet) is the price of a couple of
tickets. The rest of the expenses are borne by the District. The Evaluator will
get in touch with your contact person and set up a time prior to the activity
(same day) to go over what needs to be understood as to what is to be done by
both parties. The Evaluator will give only encouragement and positive feed-back
on what he sees / hears on the activity and offer potential improvements and
evaluations on some "missed opportunities" that will help in the next
performances for the Chapter / Quartet.
The only responsibility of the Chapter /
Quartet is to fill out a form on the activities of the Evaluator and return it
to me. The Evaluator will either go over a form or write a separate wrap-up of
the activity and present it to whoever asked him to be at the activity. The
District does not get a copy, the Society does not get a copy, and the
Chairman (me) only gets a note from the Evaluator and the Chapter as to
when the activity took place and that an Evaluation was done. The report is
between the Chapter (or Quartet) and the Evaluator. How's that for simple??
And it is a GREAT tool for helping your Chapter (or
Quartet) get that elusive "STANDING OVATION" and help educate the
public on our art form and artistry in the A Cappella music genre. This is such
an easy and simple way to get good feed-back from an experienced Barbershopper
who sits in the audience and tells you what he knows will help you get even
better next time !! What a program - and FREE, too !!
Call me or e-mail
me if your Chapter (or Quartet) wants to take advantage of this
marvelous program for improvement. You just can't go wrong.
THANKS!!
