NZbbshop : Messages : 477-506 of 535

It could be where I came from or simply my lack of understanding of
Scottish culture... but I had no idea what 'caber tossing' was until
this thread of e-mails! My humble opinion is that there is probably
room for a better design... but perhaps too late in the game to
change it?

Anyway.  I wanted to write about the BHS competition! Vocal FX came
a very respectable 11th - amazing for their first time on the
international stage I reckon! What's more, it seems that between
their Auckland fundraiser show (25th June) and the competition,
they've managed some serious coaching and really tightened up their
moves.  Charlotte looked amazing as part of the unit and the
showmanship definitley improved another notch from their final
apperance in NZ.  I have such respect for these young boys - they're
such fine representatives of NZ barbershop!

➢ The scores from Wellington are HUGE! It's hard to believe that YWIH quartets
and choruses would be scoring in the 600's (700s for Tawa!) if they were in the
SAI competition. Were they also judged more generously as well? I do not believe
that the judges up here did so, but will check.

The judges were using the YWIH scoresheets, which are quite different from the
standard Sweet Adelines ones.  At the Rising Star contests, there have been
performances earning 100%, but the same quartets have then gone on to compete at
SAI regionals and scored at B- or B level.   The training given by Jackie Hall a
couple of years ago gets drawn upon with level-setting, but there are no
levelling tapes for the YWIH contests, hence  no way of ensuring consistency
between centres.

To get an idea of where the scores lay – if we compare the 2006 and 2007
National finals with the 2007 Wellington regional, we see with quartets:

Abrachordabra: 349 - 2nd (2006), 346 (2007)
Strike Four: 353 - 1st (2005), 339 - 4th (2006), 332 (2007)

Both quartets sang much better in the 2007 Regional than at the 2005 or 2006
National finals.  My feeling is that to get scoring parity you'd have to add 30
pts to the 2007 Regional score.

Looking at choruses:
Maiden Tawa: 376 (2005), 379 (2006), 356 (2007)
ACBC: 374 (2005), 368 (2006), 340 (2007)

Neither chorus was as well-honed here as it was at National finals, so I
wouldn't want to draw too many conclusions about scoring consistency.

Cheers,
David

Judges for the Auckland Regional competition were:



YMIH

Singing: Tony Roberts

Presentation: Dave Jackman

Music: Paul Hopley



YWIH

Sound: Jill Rogers

Music: Melody Lowe

Expression: Margaret Thomas

Showmanship: Sheryl Willis



No wildcard recommendations were specified on the day... however I was
multitasking away and didn't exactly ask them to make recommendations!
Will do so and let you know.

Thanks, Angela!

12 schools participating � good going!

Just wondering - who were the judges?  Were the men�s judges scoring at
the standard BHS judging level, or were they following the practice of
the YMIH national and Wellington contests by judging everything 10
points more generously (so a 60 performance would be scored a 70, for
instance)?  And were there any recommendations for wildcards?

Also, does anyone have the results from the Christchurch or Waikato
contests yet?  I think Napier has their contest next weekend.

By the way, below are the results from the Wellington contests.  All the
qualifying spots went to schools within 3 km of central Porirua (Aotea,
Tawa, Mana, Bishop Viard), except the spot for the much improved Queen
Margaret's College.

Cheers, David Brooks

Hi all,

Just wanted to say thanks to all the people who helped in their
various ways to make the 2007 Auckland Regional YSIH comps the
success it was.

Fortunately Auckland had power this year (last year we had a power
cut) so things went much, MUCH better... the results are posted in
the 'FILES' section, and are also available from
www.southcitysoundz.com/ysih.html.

On a related matter, Auckland is hosting a fundraiser concert for
Vocal FX:
Date: Monday 25 June, 2007, 7:30pm start
Venue: Bruce Mason Centre, Takapuna, North Shore City
Tickets: Adults $25.00; Concession (Under 18 and over 65) $20.00

Available from Ticketek -

Look forward to seeing you there!!!

Jim passed away at about 10:10pm this evening. His and Glenda's family
were there for support. At this time arrangements for any services have
not been made. There will probably be a service in the last half of
this week - Wednesday or later. As soon as arrangements have been made
I will let you know.

This is a huge loss for all of us.

I will see to it that Glenda gets all of the notes you sent to me in the

Please keep Glenda and the family in your prayers.

be doing a fantastic job but just can never sound quite as
impressive as the bigger ones. This year the cut-off (number on
stage) was 75. The winning chorus was O.K. City Chorus, with 75 on
stage, scoring 1216 points. If only they had one more person on
stage! Then the award would have gone to Wellington City!

Well picked, Angela!  The formula for Harmony Achievement is "no more
than 80% of the number of people on stage of the average chorus.  So -
with 3099 on stage in 33 choruses, the cutoff was 75.12.  We worked that
out at the pre-contest briefing, but by then it was too late for us to
"help" OK City with their recruitment programme!

Anyway... thanks for all the support given to Wellington City.  We had a
ball in Las Vegas!  While we wer there, our performance improved out of
sight, with help from Ase Hagerman, Janet Ashford, and Lynne Smith -
also, Melody came to some of our rehearsals and helped our front row.

A great performance on the day - free, joyful, uninhibited - all the
things we knew we had to develop.  So, certainly we connected with the
audience, even if if wasn't as tight as our set that won Regional.  The
feedback we got was enough to make our heads swell!  One of my
favourites: "you're so free!  We Americans are so buttoned-up!!" (!!!!)
Apparently we had the only standing O of the first session, and plenty
of people were keen to let us know it was real one, and nothing to do
with where we came from.  Lots of SAI and BHS bigwigs were surprised how
well we sang - the point being that the competition in NZ has become
strong, so they don't get hear NZ choruses at int'l until they've
reached a pretty good level!

Overall, we were "seeded" 22nd on Regional score, and finished 20th.  We
were in the middle group of choruses, and the biggest gap in the table
was the 68 pt gap between us and the 21st-placed chorus.

A great experience!

Cheers
David Brooks

CHORUS:

Wellington City came 20th out of 33 choruses!!!
66 on stage
Score: 1155

The "Harmony Achievement Award" recognises that smaller choruses may
be doing a fantastic job but just can never sound quite as
impressive as the bigger ones.  This year the cut-off (number on
stage) was 75.  The winning chorus was O.K. City Chorus, with 75 on
stage, scoring 1216 points.  If only they had one more person on
stage! Then the award would have gone to Wellington City!

The largest chorus (North Metro) had 180 singers on stage.

Order of appearance for top 10 finals - Sunday our time:

Mic-tester: Pacific Empire (1288 points)

1. Velvet Hills
2. Skyline [Melody Lowe, director of Greater Auckland Chorus is
singing with Skyline]
3. Rich-Tone
4. Gem City
5. Melodeers
6. Channelaire
7. Pacific Sound
8. San Diego
9. Spirit of the Gulf
10. North Metro

Both quartet and chorus finals begin at 8:00am New Zealand time, on
Saturday and Sunday respectively.  Viewing is free via this link:

Sounds like a plan to me.



Make sure they're not too expensive.

This is what the tenor for Vocal Spectrum, Tim Waurick, sent me
knowing that Kipp had just come to NZ with four voices:

"DUDE, Vocal Spectrum has to come to New Zealand... how do we make
this happen.?????? C'mon man.. lets make it happen.. V.S. to NZ!!!

Tim"

just thought that if anyone was interested they might like to know for
next years convention :)

I'm currently trying to figure out what info we have for what years as
the previous detail was a real mess. Will put these up shortly.

I'm sure the numbers on stage are available for this year. The report
was retyped because there was an issue with it printing correctly.
Numbers appear to have been recorded from 2001 onwards.

Chorus Director's names could be another matter - I don't think it is
recorded anywhere as part of the scoring info. Correct me if I'm wrong
Andy/Brian.

Regards
Allan

Great! Any chance the website scores page could include the numbers on
stage and chorus directors' names? The numbers on stage used to be
shown, but this hasn't been incorporated into the new score tabulations.

Also, are there plans to get the missing schools contest results onto
the site?

Cheers,
