Congratulations also to Dynasty, who won 2nd Place in the Quartet competition this year. (Lets hope they like the color red!)

It was a great contest and we heard some wonderful singing by our colleagues in the region. Our best wishes go to Greater Cleveland Chorus for winning first place in the chorus competition and TGIF for their first place finish in the quartet competition. Go get ‘em at International! We are proud of them both — even if they are from Cleveland… ;-)
