No lack of zip
[Times photo: Cherie Diez]
Oak Grove Middle School sixth-grader Dustin Maxwell, 11, belts out Zip-a-dee Doo-Dah during practice at the 2002 Pinellas County Youth Music Festival at Pasadena Community Church on Tuesday. Maxwell and his fellow singers learned four-part a capella harmony, or barbershop harmony, at the all-day clinic sponsored by the Sunshine District Barbershoppers and the Sweet Adelines. The boys and girls were separated while learning two songs, then came together at the end of the day for a performance. |
