We took a whole 38 guys to contest last week...as compared to the 150 some-odd each in the top 2 groups. Had the usual crowd of 10,000.
Worldwide, there's about 800 competing groups. After assorted contests throughout the year, the top 30 groups are invited to whatever city
it happens to be held in.
We landed 18th to which we were quite pleased as we sang 2 ballads instead of 1 ballad and 1 "uptune" with choreo.
We had one...a medley...AND had learned the choreo but, 6 weeks ago, one of the 3 holders of the song "Let a smile be your umbrella" (written a gazillion years ago) said, "Send me $3000". Nope...our group's name is NOT an indication of our wealth. We usually stay flat broke as an organization.
Here's a youtube link
The sound is absolutely atrocious, but on youtube, it is what it is.
As a side note, I've gotta say, I've never seen anyone DRINK like the Swede's. They've got 3 million drinking songs and I think they tried to teach us just a million of them. :laugh:
If you click on the author's name and view all his uploads, the whole chorus contest is there...the top 2 were: Masters of Harmony and Ambassadors of Harmony.
This reminds me, I need to burn a dvd for a certain Denverite.
