Barbershop Harmony Society Contest and Convention

This is a big deal. Although I haven't yet attended one of these events, I know something about the Society and the work that goes into preparing for these contests. The standards for musicanship and showmanship in this organization are very high, and chapters work all season to refine their performance entries to the nth degree. The result is a show that is bound to be highly entertaining, with a full day of contests will involve 9 choruses and 15 quartets. The event is sponsored by the Sacramento Capitolaires.  They will be competing along with 4 other choruses covered by the Sacramento Choral Calendar:  American River Chorus, Sierranaders, Gold Rush Chorus, and Folsom Harmony Express. I've rearranged my schedule to be able to attend, and I'm anticipating a memorable day full of good music.  There is more information at this link.
