The Houston Tidelanders Chorus were asked to perform on Memorial Day this year. We were honored to perform for those that chose to come out to show their respect during this somber holiday.
We were honored to support U.S. Military personnel and their families. These amazing people have sacrificed so much while their loved ones have served the United States in the armed forces.
We, the Houston Tidelanders, were proud to represent the American people and performed a subset of our normal performance routine for the crowd.
Not only do we support patriotic events but we even have veterans that sing in the Tidelanders! During the performance of our barbershop version of the US Armed Forces Medley, we always recognize those that have served our country. We recognize that many of the freedoms that we as Americans enjoy are due to the sacrifices of the Military. Thank you for your service!
The Armed Forces Medley is an a cappella barbershop musical composition in the barbershop style. Each branch of the US Military is represented in the medley. The specific songs in performance order are:

Generally in most years, the SWD sponsors an annual Chorus and Quartet competition. The exception is the pandemic year we experienced due to Covid-19. There was no competition during the pandemic. The BHS recent resumed chorus competitions in 2022.
The Tidelanders excitedly sponsored our first singing competition. We promoted the contest to over 200 high schools in Harris and Fort Bend counties in Texas. We announced two winners (Men’s and Women’s) mid-April. We are looking forward to planning a bigger contest next year.
The Houston Tidelanders Chorus is pleased that we were able to perform for Clear Lake audiences once again! We’ve been performing in the Clear Lake area for about 25 years and it’s one of favorite shows.
“Smile” continues to be considered timeless. Meaning the message always seems to be relevant. As long as it continues to be popular, artists will continue to cover and interpret it’s meaning in order to continue to have it resonate with audiences. Modern artists like Michael Jackson have arranged and performed it.
