***PLEASE*** READ all the notes before perusing the list!
REMINDER: All of these "charts" are bext viewed with a fixed width font. If you are reading on the web, you can choose it by clicking on "show message option" and then choosing "use fixed width font" - but, of course, you have to choose it for each message. When I'm looking at it in my incoming email, I can choose "rich text (html format)" in my email software and it shows it to me the way I intended it to look.
This list includes ONLY the midsize choruses *winning midsize chorus awards* from all Regions. Because of the size (31-60 singing members) and score (400 points minimum) requirements, some regions may not have three award winners. In fact, this year, Region 35 had no midsize choruses in their competition at all.
# to the right of the chorus name indicates the chorus is qualified for
and participating in the 2009 Harmony Classic and therefore will NOT be
invited for 2010. The 2nd place chorus in those regions is in the pool
for the Harmony Classic but still must qualify by score. I confess I
am a bit relieved that Centennial Blend placed second in the midsize
division since they are qualified for and participating in the 2009
SMALL chorus division of the Harmony Classic!

SMALL chorus division of the Harmony Classic!
Choruses used to be limited to a 10% increase in size between their qualifying win and their participation at Harmony Classic, but that rule has changed:
Division A (small) choruses may compete at Harmony Classic with up to 40 singing members, and Division AA (midsize) choruses may have as many as 75 singing members on stage at Harmony Classic.
PLEASE NOTE: This does NOT change the size ranges for these awards at regional competitions, only how much growth they can bring to the Harmony Classic stage!
Also, ## indicates the chorus is the regional champion this year - should they qualify for "the pool" by score, they will have to choose between competing at International Chorus Competition and competing at Harmony Classic in Seattle in 2010. I am assuming that a chorus who qualifies as a wild card the international chorus competition will not be eligible for Harmony Classic unless they choose HC over the other opportunity.
*****We have it on good authority that Gateway will be competing on the international stage in 2010.***** ;-)
Remember the first five choruses to be invited to Harmony Classic 2010 must be 1st Place in the Division (with the exception noted above) and they must ACCEPT the invitation to be included. The exception does not apply to Hickory Tree (maybe time for a rule change?) and they are not "in the pool" this year, in spite of their fine score. Since the Harmony Classic is now held on a Tuesday, it may be more difficult for some choruses to accept the invitation, but you may draw your own conclusions as to which choruses will be the first invited. Should a chorus decline, the next qualifying eligible chorus will be invited, and so on until five participants accept.

Draws for order of appearance for Harmony Classic will be done at the August 20-21 meeting of the Education Direction Committee in Tulsa, and will be announced shortly thereafter.
