On Friday, November 4th, roughly two months after celebrating their Silver Anniversary, A Cappella Showcase became International Silver Medalists at the IC&C held in Verona, NY from the 2nd to the 6th of the same month.
Under the theme "Together Again", our chorus, along with 24 others from Canada and the U.S., crossed the stage and performed their two contest songs before an audience and a panel of judges they hadn’t seen live for two entire years. With a rating of 83.6%, A Cappella Showcase achieved an outstanding score while maintaining its status as an A-Level chorus which it had acquired in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic at the IC&C in Sandusky, Ohio.
A Cappella Showcase won second place with their performance of "When I Fall In Love" by Heyman and Young and of "You’re From Heaven And You’re Mine" by David Wright. Since David arranged both songs, the chorus received special coaching from this amazingly talented musician, composer and writer back in September which most certainly contributed to our winnings.
Not only was it wonderful to reunite with our harmony friends from both countries, it also served as a reminder that singing keeps us young, healthy and happy. After all, if a worldwide pandemic can’t keep us apart, nothing ever will!
Want to experience the joy of singing four-part a cappella harmony with a winning, caring and highly entertaining chorus? Just email our membership team at membership@acappellashowcase.org to learn more on how to book your spot on our risers!
