Well some of us pick up geeky hobbies or expand our music world into areas only seen by ultra-geeks: learning everything possible about the music of any small random country few people have ever heard of, memorizing scores of Mahler, becoming a world-expert in a dead composer's life, or for some friends of mine at school, join the elite group of amateur barbershoppers.
That's right. This school has its very own, critically acclaimed, barbershop quartet. If you've never heard one before, or even if you have, check out The Gin & Tonics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUPISMBtNeI . This is them performing at the International competition in Denver. So they weren't the best at the competition but they did SUPER awesome for the amount of time they've been singing together. The winners' video should help give you a little perspective as to how awesome the quartets can sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4iRT_9n6vo . PS, this is probably one of my most despised songs on the planet, however, this performance still gave me goosebumps.
OK, enough procrastinating... practise time and then cleaning and then a better daily post ;)
