Harms on Indy continued... Continuing with things to look forward to, we will eagerly await the college quartet contest to watch these young guys take their best shot and at the same time, develop a love of our musical style. Then there will be a Gold Medalist Hour during which a few hundred barbershoppers and spouses will cram into a too small room to hear what the previous year's Gold Medalist Quartet has to say, and sing. Of course, the highlight of the week for me is the chorus contest. The great choruses show you why they are great. Indy is only a week or so away (by the time I expect you'll be reading this) and once again we'll be having a great time sharing a good time with a few thousand of our best friends.

Last year at this time I gave my predictions for the Top 5 in both the quartet and chorus contest. I came very close in the chorus contest, but was off on a few of my picks in the quartet contest. I didn't think Realtime would win it, but they did. As I gaze into my crystal ball I see the Vocal Majority winning their 11th gold medal (sorry Buzz). However, it should be a very tight race for second through fifth.

The Northern Lights, New Tradition, The Alliance, and the Westminster Chorus should all go home with medals. This is how I see it:
In the quartet contest I see three Central States District quartets making the quartet finals: Vocal Spectrum, 12th Street Rag, and 3 Men and a Melody. Unfortunately not all three quartets will not be wearing medals at the weeks end. This contest should be very entertaining with a dogfight between Max Q, Metropolis, and Vocal Spectrum. Any one of these three could go home with a gold medal. I am sticking my neck out and picking Vocal Spectrum as our new quartet champions. This is how I see it:
