National Anthems and Rankings

There's been quite a lot going on recently. First of all, we've been singing quite a few renditions of the National Anthem at various sporting events. People really seem to like us. We were asked by other coaches to do several games at other schools. (We declined; we stick with the Blue Devils.) Anyway, we thought one other team that would be worth singing for would be the Red Sox, so keep your eyes peeled, we might be taking a trip to Fenway Park at some point.

In other news, after the disappointment at ICHSA, it looks like we're still pretty good; 5th best in the nation to be exact. That's pretty cool! The 18 Wheelers are still ahead of us, but only by 9 points (out of 400ish).

Striking a Silver Chord

The Silver Chord Bowl was really awesome! We had a great time. They sold out as predicted and I'll say it; a crowd of 2,000 looks a whole lot bigger on stage than you'd think. The other groups were really nice to us, although they kept to themselves back stage. They were all amazing, though. NYU and Tufts were probably our favorites. :-)

Also, the sound was incredible! I was able to get a direct line (digital!) right out of the board and record the whole show. It's sounds about as close to studio recording as you can get, which is cool, considering we were totally live. I'll get some recordings up as soon as I can.

The next day, there was a huge picture on the front page of the gazette of us all looking entirely stupid. I've come to the conclusion that photographs and singing are just about the worst combination ever. Add choreography and you have quite a disaster on your hands. Damn you, Toxic!

So, we've got a bunch of new stuff in the works. Stay tuned!

New Stuff

Hi Guys. One more thing.

We now have RSS syndication. This only really means stuff for Apple users. You now get that little blue RSS button in the address bar. You can syndicate the site more easily and view it with RSS feed readers. Which means, fancy screen savers! Yeah..
