It was held at Salisbury University. OS's very first performance was on this stage and the first show with Kipp on tenor was this very stage as well! We felt quite at home up there.<br /> <br /> <img height="210" width="300" alt="" src="http://www.oldschoolqt.com/blogcfm/1/custom/HCE-2009-01.JPG" /><br /> <br /> On Thursday night Jack and Beast arrived to start coaching early Friday morning. Kipp and Joe had commitments that made it necessary to arrive Friday at noon. However, severe thunderstorms swept through the country late Thursday night causing major delays. Kipp and Joe left late and ended up sitting in the Philly airport for about 5 hours! We felt bad that we could not be there to coaching and &quot;pay back&quot; a bit of the great support we have received from MAD.<br /> <br /> On Saturday, OS was coached by big D Flinn yet again, Bob Mucha and Ron Knickerbocker (1974 champs the Regents). We had a FANTASTIC day and a lot of great work. We left pumped and ready for Anaheim....which is only a week away!<br /> <br /> The Saturday night show came and we did a pretty good job considering we had been singing all day long. A bit tired but we had a great time! Joe's wife Gayle drove down and we were able to spend some time with her Saturday night.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> <img height="164" width="300" alt="" src="http://www.oldschoolqt.com/blogcfm/1/custom/HCE-2009-02.JPG" /><br /> <br /> <img height="188" width="300" alt="" src="http://www.oldschoolqt.com/blogcfm/1/custom/HCE-2009-03.JPG" /><br /> <br /> After the show, we were up LATE LATE LATE talking, visiting and singing with all our friends in the courtyard...oh and yes, there was beer available as well! <br /> <br /> Thanks MAD....see ya next year!!!</font> http://www.oldschoolqt.com/blogcfm/1/2009/06/SALISBURY.cfm 2009-06-20T00:00:00-07:00 Maryland <div><font face="Verdana" size="2">CHAPTER: Penninsulaires</font></div> <div><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;</font></div> <div><font face="Verdana" size="2">This was the first show with Kipp on tenor. The show was a tribute to Nancy Sterling. Nancy is the spouse of good friend Tom Sterling who is the director of the chorus and sang in many quartets over the years. Tom is probably most remembered for his quartet Broadway. Nancy has Lou Gehrig's disease. She came to the show and we were able to sing her a song in the lobby. She requested Last Night Was The End Of The World. With Nancy sitting there listening, it was a very inspired performance and actually the first time it was sung with Kipp.</font></div> <div><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;</font></div> <div><font face="Verdana" size="2">On the show was another great friend of ours, Joe Polio. We joined Joe and his wife for dinner at a very nice steak and seafood place between shows. Great food, great friends and a good barbershop show! The makings of a perfect Saturday night.</font></div> <div><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;</font></div> <div><font face="Verdana" size="2">The afterglow was at a very nice little bar/restaurant type place. It was informal and we just got up and sang a few. All in all considering it was the first performance with our new tenor, it all went very well!</font></div> http://www.oldschoolqt.com/blogcfm/1/2009/03/SALISBURY-MD.cfm 2009-03-14T00:00:00-07:00 Maryland,Maryland
