Thanks stephaniepage!  Worked like a charm!

Yes, it doesn't ring the same way as the men's voices, but it DOES ring, and quite well. And the video doesn't do it as good of justice as it does live. And this chorus SANG and made MUSIC...they didn't yell at the audience. ;-)

Carol Mayka is one of our favorite people. Congrats to Carol and all the voices of the INTERNATIONAL CHAMPS!!

Fun to come across this by accident, one week after hearing your fabulous Swan Song performance! Perfect timing for me, as I missed much of last year's webcast, and hadn't heard your championship performance before now. Thanks for posting (Can it be that you're continually improving? I think that's the case!) : )

@beatricedewarynton on the contrary, I'm a long time barbershopper. I'm just not impressed by this, it lacks the lock and ring that top male groups achieve.

@rarchnick Obviously you know very little about barbershop music. Stick with Choral.

Holy damn this is good. It's fun to hear a chorus do this song, especially in the Sweet Adeline's competition

[Icyveins906]

@rarchnick The overtones produced are between 12000 Hz and 16000 Hz, perfectly audible. I can hear em nice and easy. You just have to listen. Women's choruses also almost uniquely produce undertones, which are also really cool.
