Roanoke’s Virginia Gentlemen Celebrate Valentine’s Day
Flatter Your Valentine with a Singing Telegram

A few of the Virginia Gentlemen lay down the barbershop at a sing-off.

With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, quartets from The Virginia Gentlemen Barbershop Harmony Chorus are preparing to spread love all over the Roanoke Valley. On February 14th (Monday), Singing Valentine’s will be delivered by tuxedo clad barbershop quartets, members of The Virginia Gentlemen Barbershop Harmony Chorus.

If you’re looking for a unique Valentine’s Day surprise for your loved one, and something a bit different from the traditional box of chocolates or flowers, then consider a Singing Valentine to show your love.

This telegram style message of love is a surprise visit to a favorite person at home, school, a favorite restaurant or in their workplace, whether it is a spouse, girlfriend, a teacher, family member or friend. A Singing Valentine quartet will serenade your sweetheart anywhere you choose in Roanoke, Salem, Vinton, Botetourt County or Blacksburg.. Deliveries can also be arranged for other distant locations.

Your thoughtfulness will always be remembered when the quartet sings two love songs and presents a card with your personal message and a long-stemmed red rose. The quartet captures this sweet moment in a photograph with your sweetheart. Additional roses may be ordered for delivery.

The cost of a Singing Valentine is just $50 on Valentine’s Day, February 14th. The Virginia Gentlemen are taking orders by telephone. In Roanoke, contact Ed at 540.977.0472 or Phil at 540.576.2091. And for the Blacksburg area, contact Hugh at 540.552.4328.

The Virginia Gentlemen is the Roanoke Valley Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, a premier male acapella singing organization in Southwestern Virginia. The Chapter’s Virginia Gentlemen chorus appeals to men of all ages seeking to be part of a high quality vocal performing group known for its fun, fellowship and harmony. The organization is a 501(c) 3 and contributes a portion of its performance proceeds to the John Tully Memorial Scholarship Fund to aid local college-bound high school students and to The Harmony Foundation, providing grants promoting vocal music education in schools and communities.

    Singing in a quartet for Singing Valentines in the past has been both fun and rewarding. Before my wife and I married many years ago,I had surprised her with one of these Singing Valentines. She was swept off her feet and even shed a tear,as I was singing bass in the quartet that delivered it to her. We were married a couple of months later and we were transfer to her hometown(Roanoke) 4 months after that.
    I have seen joy,tears,swoon and every emotion you could imagine by both men and women receiving one of these Valentines. It is always memorable whether for Mom,Dad,wife,husband or grandparent. What a wonderful way to say “I Love You”!
