1934 Corks and Curls page
The 1933-1934 season of the Virginia Glee Club was Harry Rogers Pratt's first season as the director of the group. Activities included normal concerts as well as a performance at Hot Springs, Virginia.[1] The officers included J.M. Berry, president; Guy Hope, manager; and W.L. Sherman and Rial Rose, assistant managers; James S. Constantine was the accompanist.
During the season, the Club sponsored a dance with music by the big band ensemble Charlie Gasque and his Royal Virginians, led by former Glee Club president Charles W. Gasque.[2] Either at the beginning of this season or the end of the 1932-1933 season, the Tin Can Quartet of the Glee Club recorded several barbershop songs on a radio transcription disc for radio broadcast.[3]
