Hawkseye Swami Correctly Picks International Champs
By Dave Haase, Hawkseye (Swami) Editor

What an international convention! This by far was the most competitive and entertaining international competition I have ever seen. This was only my fifth international convention I've ever been to but comparing this international with Portland (2002), Louisville (2004), and Salt Lake City (2005) this by far was thee best!

 As probably have heard by now that our very own Central States District quartet, Vocal Spectrum, won the

 International Quartet Contest as predicted by the Hawkseye Swami. On my score sheet I had Vocal Spectrum and O.C. Times neck to neck, but in the end the judges scored Vocal Spectrum six points better than Max Q. Rounding out the top five was O.C. Times in third place followed by Metropolis and Flipside.
