Pete Hensley
Treasurer
Baritone Section Leader

Ticket and Sales

Pete is a veteran barbershopper, having passed the 50 year membership milestone. In spite of being the oldest member of the chapter, he is energetic, pitching in for any and all activities. He serves on show staff, music team, and other ad hoc committees. He travels 55 miles each way to rehearsals, meetings and events. He may have single-handedly pushed the price of gas up in San Diego County. Being an actual semi-retired CPA, makes Pete a natural to be Treasurer. His spreadsheets are a masterpiece in balancing the budget and budget projection. The format is recommended for all treasurers. We are not sure if he owns any software except Excel, since he writes his prose in Excel, too.
His baritone voice is strong and steady and precise, a model for the section.
In addition, he is a quartet man, currently singing baritone in the registered quartet, California Crossroads, the 2007 Far Western District Seniors Champs.And in the new year, he has taken up the task of publishing the chapter newsletter, the Limelight.

In January, 2007, he escorted the Musical Island Boys to nine schools, a YIH benefit concert and a visit to the Masters of Harmony. He has historically been a participant member. He has held several chapter officer positions, including Music VP. He is the perennial quartet scheduler for Valentine‘s Day, makes promotional contacts and ad submissions for shows. He produces the sheet music and learning files for the web site. As
Webmaster, he developed and maintains the site, including the on-line music library, calendar, and rosters. He is always on top of his music and off the paper in due time.

2005
John Forrest

Chorus Manager, Acting Secretary

John Forrest‘s list of achievements is almost too numerous to mention. As the chorus manager, he made things go smoothly for not only all of our shows, but also was instrumental in the success of our first trip to the international stage. He kept track of and repaired our equipment, and in typical fashion, also spearheaded a big riser repair job for our sister organization, the San Diego chapter of Sweet Adelines. John also moved into a vacancy for our chapter secretary and took on the job full time for this year. Musically, John organized numerous extra rehearsals to prepare for competition, and competed himself in TWO quartets in the SOCAL East division competition. In all, John distinguished himself in every aspect of the barbershop community, and his efforts contributed significantly to the success of our chapter.
