On March 15, 2008, the Chorus competed against 21 other choruses from TN, AL, MS, GA, NC, and SC in the Spring Dixie District competition in Greenville, SC and finished 2nd in the contest. Under the leadership of our new Director, Mike O'Neill, the chorus finished 2nd, 86 points behind Atlanta Vocal Project. Our contest package consisted of two well-known country music tunes that have been arranged in the barbershop style of harmony: "Honey, Open That Door"/"Hey Good Lookin' " and "Cheatin' Heart." O'Neill stated, "This is just another step in our upward progression of musical growth and excellence. We are excited about the future direction of this chorus, and that excitement is being reflected in the number of guests we have visit us each Monday night at our rehearsals."
The chorus is busily preparing to host the 2008 Barbershop Harmony Society International Convention from June 29-July 6, learning two new contest songs for the Fall Contest in October, and learning new songs for our Christmas show in December. Come join us!!
