Hi everyone,
Thanks for your continued interest in the Sounds of Concord. We have
a couple of announcements.
First, our international convention is this week, in Montreal, from Wednesday
July 2 through Saturday July 6. This is the "World Series" of men's barbershop
singing. In case you're interested, the contests and other events will be
broadcast over the web (audio and video). Here's your chance to catch some
of the action from the comforts of your desktop. The Sounds aren't competing
(we're good but we're not THAT good, yet), but many of the quartets we've
featured on our shows the past few years will be gunning for the coveted
International Quartet Championship (won by SOC show quartet Four Voices
last year). So tune in and watch Power Play (SOC show 2000), Gotcha!
(SOC show 2001) and Metropolis (SOC show 2003) duke it out with 40
other quartets from around the world. New England will be represented by
Road Show and Northeast Connection, and the Nashua Granite Statesmen
chorus.
There's a link on our homepage (www.soundsofconcord.org) to the webcast.
Also, our annual show for 2004 is set for Saturday April 3. And, we have a
tentative agreement to bring one of the top show quartets ever to the stage:
International Champion Grandma's Boys, who are coming out of retirement
to do a select number of shows next year. This quartet has been featured
on several national variety shows, and pioneered advances in arrangements
and showmanship that are still felt today. Its members went on to win
two more gold medals and one bronze medal in other quartets. This promises
to be a unique opportunity to see what all the fuss was about, so mark
your calendars. We'll have more specific information on exact times and
location later on, so stay tuned.
Once again, thanks for your interest in the Sounds of Concord!
