In less then five weeks, October 7-10, the FWD will be having their fall District Convention and Contests. As usual it is going to be another great convention and of course, the contests. The Masters of Harmony are back, along with Voices In Harmony, The Spirit of Phoenix with their new director Gary Steinkamp and the new American River Chorus. (Wouldn't it be nice to have two or three wild cards for Kansas City)? The quartet contest will include The Crush, Catcher Block, Audacity, and 95 North, along with many more all with the intent of becoming the new FWD Champions.
In addition to the convention and the contests, on Friday night, after the quartet semi-finals, the Association of Far Western District Champions will be having their annual "Late Show." This years show is one not to be missed. It will be featuring, The 139th Street Quartet 1976, The Great Western Timbre Company 1986, Special Feature 1990, Rhythm & Rhyme 1993, Hi-Fidelity 2005, Late Show 2006, The Edge 2009 and our 2008 International Quartet Champions OC Times 2004, and who doesn't want to see Sean Devine's sweet, smiling face? Now THAT is a show. All for only $20.00. Tickets will go on sale Friday morning at 10 AM in the registration area.
The proceeds from this show help our FWD Quartets that qualify for International each year. We also furnish trophies for our new FWD Champions and for the High School Quartet contests. Come and enjoy the wonderful experience of our FWD Past Champions. Masterpiece 2008 may also perform depending upon how late the A&R goes as Brett Littlefield will be judging.
Looking foward to seeing you in Bakersfield. Come up, say hi, and please buy a ticket or two.
