Fall Convention

    The CSD Fall Convention is this weekend. Here is the text from an email you should have received about watching using a live stream.

The Central States District is using a new live stream company for the upcoming convention and it is now available to register on singcsd.com. The cost is $5/session or $10 for the whole weekend. As our DRCJ Carter Combs says, this is going to be one “barn-burner of a convention” and the live stream is one way that YOU can share barbershop with our community. Additionally, the link to contest queue is also live on singcsd.com. This is a web-based app that shows the order of appearance for the contests in real-time.

You can see the quartet No White Socks compete on Friday about 6:32 and the Old Capitol Chorus on Saturday morning at about 10:33. There will be a lot of great choruses and quartets competing, so you will get your money’s worth.

Elections

We will hold chapter elections. Thank you to Wendell, Leland and Larry Hlavacek for being on the nominating committee.
