1979 Anderson Singers Unlimited

Anderson HS, Singers Unlimited, Anderson, IN; Luers-Midwest Swing Choir Invitational finals competition
Anderson's 1979 "Godspell" was one of the very first swing or show choir performances featuring material all from the same musical. The debate continues still today whether or not this is appropriate for competition.

I remember this performance. It was my last year performing in this competition with Huntington North. I remember that even my mother (a devout conservative christian :0 ), was surprised this group didn't rank higher than they did.

BTW, I think this was one of our worst years in this competition while I was in the Huntington North Varsity Singers.

tskot, is it possible for you (or I) to recover video of the Hunt. North V. Singers in 1978 and 79 in this competition?

Thanks,

Tim

Scott, the 1st Annual Bishop Luers Midwest Show Choir Invitational was performed on gym floor tarps in February 1975. In 1976 the competition graduated to the unfinished plywood stage. And soon to be posted...Anderson competed with GODSPELL. Uh Huh! The copied themselves in 1979 with their 1976 Show ('76 was vocally better). Copying BROADWAY shows verbatim is tacky - my .02 dollars.
