How long has your site been around

Benjamin Edwards

12:39

BarbershopHistory.com started in late 2011. About a week before the Houston convention.

David

Why dont you have mens stats?

Benjamin Edwards

12:40

We have some, David. But I feel that the men's organization does a fine job of keeping excellent records and embracing their history.

Are tou connected to a sweet adeline?

Benjamin Edwards

12:41

Yes, Paula. My wife and Mother-in-law are both Sweet Adelines.

Crystal

Who is the favorites this year?

Benjamin Edwards

12:44

I'd say that both Ronninge and the Rich-Tones have excellent chances.

As far as quartets are concerned...

12:45

I think Frenzy has an excellent chance

It's a bit tougher to predict for quartets

There are about 5 that could win it any year.

Finesse, Lustre, Windsor...

Do you like the Harmony Classic?

Benjamin Edwards

12:46

Yeah, I think it's a great opportunity for smaller choruses to shine.

12:47

In fact, I'd like to see the number of choruses changed to 10 rather than the 5 we have now.

I'd also like to see the rule changed for the wild cards in the main chorus contest.

I'd like to remove the requirement that only 2nd place choruses can be considered.

12:48

A third place group that scores 640 should beat out a 2nd place group that scores 615.

Just my thoughts

12:49

Who are you favorite singers?

Benjamin Edwards

12:49

Hmm. As far as singing voices go (rather than personalities), I think my favorite lead is Ashley Wright of Speed of Sound.

My favorite bass is probably Melynnie Williams.

12:50

I think the best tenor I've ever heard was Charla from Rumors.

Bari is hard. Let's play it safe and say my wife.

Bryan

12:51

What about personalities?

Benjamin Edwards

12:51

Hmm. I like Peggy Gram. Carter Maysilles.

12:52

Darlene Rogers

Joan

12:52

Dale Syverson all the way!

Benjamin Edwards

12:52

Everyone loves Dale, Joan :)

12:53

I think the girls from Windsor are very nice

Many of the Ronninge members are great.

Kim Vaughn has been very kind to me

Joan

12:54

Kelly B.

12:54
