Grand Champions

For the purpose of this year's musical, " The Music Man", I formed a barbershop quartet. This quartet is called the Harmonic C's and is the 7th of such name since I have been teaching at Salina South. Some local barbershop enthusiasts saw these guys and encouraged them to enter in a competition at Olathe East High School in Kansas City. There were 65 quartets ranging from 7th graders through high school. My quartet not only won the senior boys division but was the top quartet overall. There were 4 judges in the preliminary round and 8 in the finals. All 12 judges scores count towards the final possible score of 1200. My quartet scored a whopping 1,128 points. That is an average of 94 points from each judge. The members of the quartet are Tenor Bobby Wearing (Sr.), Lead John Snyder (Jr.), Bass Ryan Wofford (Sr.) and Baritone Charlie Fiorillo (Jr.). We will be returning to Kansas City to perform in the Heart of America Spring Concert this Saturday, March 14, 2009. I have been so busy lately with school that I'm taking Velda to Kansas City to spend the day as a date before the evening performance. We will spend the night and come back Sunday morning. An added bonus is that when we return to Salina, we will be starting Spring Break for both my school and our home school as well. There won't be any clips of the performance or awards because for one reason, the clips have to be exceptionally large to be of any quality. Secondly, posting the performance of the boys singing the song is an infringement of copyright. Feel free to stop by the house and watch my DVD.
