Viking Choir Advances to Medal Round!

The results have not been posted on the World Choir Games' website yet, but Roger called Mary Jo and let her know the Land of Lakes Choirboys Viking Choir will advance to the medal round for the Musica Sachra category (17)!

The results for the first category they sang for, category 1 - Children's Choirs, are not expected to be posted until Saturday morning around 9 or 10. With the time difference that'll be the middle of the night tonight. I'm guessing there will be at least one or two people that stay awake hitting the F5 key until they see the latest results have been posted.

Medal Round, here we come! Well our boys, anyway. I'm sure they're bursting at the seams with excitement right now.

The Viking Choir will sing again tomorrow for the second round. You can see the schedule for category 17's round 2 here, but I am not sure exactly when they will sing. If you scroll further down the page with the schedule, you will see our boys on page 228.

For the first round of both categories they performed in, there were five judges on the jury. For the second round, there will be seven judges on the jury, and the top and bottom scores will be thrown out.

I'm sure we all believed our boys would make it to the medal round, but there are many strong choirs there so it really shows what a quality of the sound the Land of Lakes Choirboys.

Yipee! Way to go boys! Way to go, Francis!

The person that posted the pictures of parade at the World Choir Games sent me a message that some more pictures have been posted. Yahoo! There aren't any pictures of our boys, but it's yet another glimpse of the Games. Try copying/pasting this...
