Although there are still bugs in the system, HQ says we can now enter contest online. I will send you a confirmation when I get your entry. If you do not hear from me, contact me and we'll sort out the problem.

International Prelims College Quartet Contest. (Remember, college entries go through HQ, not me.) Contest entry deadline is two weeks prior to convention. I need them all by midnight Thursday April 10th. (I already have the contest entry for Something Big!!)

The Mr. Joe Liles is our Joe Barbershop Director. Joe has done it all - Society staff in many positions for years, Singing Judge, Director, Coach, etc. Don't miss this chance to sing under him. He has chosen Nellie, and Heart of My Heart. See you Saturday morning (April 26th) at 10:15 a.m. (in the gym?).

Please mail your $35 DVD checks (made out to Pioneer District) as soon as you enter the contest to Robb Smith - Pioneer District, 46210 Copper Lock Lane, Macomb, MI 48044. If you prepay, you can pick up your DVD from Allan in the truck after that session. If you don't prepay, send $40 to Robb after convention to get your DVD.

As always, we need a good sound check quartet to test the mikes at 3:30 p.m. Friday afternoon (April 25th at the school). You may be a contest quartet but may not sing any contest material at the sound check.
