Everything always works out in the end.
If it's not working out, you're not at the end.
The 2007 International Convention promises to be one of the most exciting for many years. With the Westminster Chorus up against the Ambassadors of Harmony and Toronto Northern Lights, the chorus contest will be thrilling, and Max Q will be out to take home Gold instead of Silver in the quartet contest.

Small, but mighty!
We were short lots of people last Monday, but we did some good work on Happy Go Lucky Lane. The baritone section was in major strength and did well, as did the bass and lead sections.
The tenor section was not there at all, so we are hoping for a large influx this week (at least one!)
The evening ended early with a visit to Rockaberry’s for pie. The pie selection met with everyone’s approval, and the evening concluded on a sweet note.
