This is reminder to get off the couch and apply for the NW Regional Harmony
Sweepstakes A Capella Festival being held in Olympia, Washington on Saturday,
March
10th, 2007, at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts.

The 2006 NW winners, Tongue-Tied A Cappella (a terrific group!) will host and
present an
awesome set of tunes while the judges are deliberating.

The DEADLINE for applications to this year's event is soon (Feb. 2nd!!!!). Most
groups are
notoriously late in getting applications in. With the earlier than usual March
date, it is
imperative that we receive your applications as soon as possible. Don't miss out
on your
chance to win the NW Harmony Sweepstakes just because you forgot to apply!

I know there are lots of great a cappella groups our there just waiting to
perform in a
wonderful venue that is well produced!

To help you along, I've included the URL to our website so you can download the
application.

If your group can't compete this year due to scheduling, etc. please forward
this info on to
other great groups that you now.

One rule change: John Neal, the National Director of Harmony Sweepstakes, has
changed
the upper limit from 7 to 8 voices! So groups with from 3 to 8 voices may apply!

Please contact me if you have any questions!


In harmony,

Gary Witley
Co-Director, NW Harmony Sweepstakes
