The Arlingtones' Fall Show, RADIODAZE II, was performed to a full house on October 10, 2009.  By all accounts it was the best ever.  The following pictures are just a small sample of the goings-on.  Our thanks to Karen Kruse for her work as our photographer.
Please note:
The Arlingtones 2010 Fall Show will be on September 11 this year, at Bristol Court, 828 East Rand Road, in Mt. Prospect. We were sold out in 2009 so we are moving to a bigger and better  venue. Mark the date now. More information will follow as it becomes available.

Show Chair, Al Thorstenson, welcomes our guests.  We had 
a full house. We hope to repeat
this next year.

In full singing mode, a little something for everyone, from "Dream" to the "New Ashmolean Marching Society...", etc.

Jim Sindt and Rob Alexander run one of the many raffles. There is nothing like taking home a prize of some sort to make the evening even more enjoyable. That's our goal,a great night out.

Asst. Director, Bernie Martin, gives it his best shot. Or is he looking toward heaven for assistance?
The Arlingtones practice every Monday night, check out the last page for details.

002Elmer.JPG

Elmer has always had a problem remembering instructions.This time,- the wrong uniform. Maybe it has to do with the mind set of tenors, maybe he was dropped on his head as a child , maybe...

Wrong uniform or not, Elmer gets in to the swing.

The Chordmasters sang a couple then got the audience into it. Seems there are some verses to "Goodnight Irene"
that have never been heard before but we found them.

012HShirts.JPG

Hawaiian shirts? Did we sing any Hawaian songs? No but we did go from Africa to the South Pacific then back to the streets of New York in one set. We are a very sophisticated and cosmopolitan bunch.

Our director, Roger Turek, not only has the ability to to do his job but also has an obvious enthusiasm for it.

007Spitcommercial.JPG

The Spittunes sang a commercial typical of the radio era. It was not so typical in its suggested uses for Gillette razor blades.

011Utrasound.JPG

Ultrasound  belts out a couple. Ever heard the words euphomistical and eulogistical used in the same sentence?  All kinds of wondrous things happen at our fall show.

An unexpected appearance of South Pacific's  "Honeybuns" during our rendition  of "There is Nothing Like  A Dame" was a pleasant surprise. At least I think it was pleasant,...actually I am not sure what it was.

"Honeybuns" (a.k.a. Al Thorstenson) ended on Big Steve Cargill's lap. Why is it that the big guys get to have all the fun? You must be 21 or over to click this for the enlarged version.
Chorducopia reminisces  with a little doo-wopp from the '50's.
