Our favorite boychoir advanced to the medal round in each of the categories they performed in.
They will perform in the Children’s Choir category (category 1) sometime during the day at the Stadthalle. It is the same place they sang for the qualifying round. The Stadthalle seems to be the venue in Graz where big names put on their shows. (Big names like The Land of Lakes Choirboys, that is.) According to the latest update on the choir's website the boys will performing at 2 pm this afternoon, our time.)
They will also perform in the Musica Sachra category (category 17) at some point during the day. That performance is at the Mariahilferkirche, also the same place as where they sang for the qualifying round. According to that update the performance will be at 1:35 am tonight, our time.)
The juries for the medal rounds of the Children’s Choir category and the Sacred Music category will have different judges than the ones that were scoring the qualifying round.
The schedule from Roger says they are supposed to perform this afternoon in a Friendship Concert at the Mariahilferplatz. The picture and the name make me think the Mariahilferplatz is a plaza outside the Mariahilferkirche. Hopefully the timing for singing in the medal rounds and the Friendship Concert do not have the boys racing from place to place frantically.

I was just surfing some more of the flickr photos of the Games posted by GT_Schorsch. I noticed in his profile that he was a chorister, and has a link to the website of his first choir, in Cologne, Germany. I guess that explains his interest in posting pictures of dozens of choirs - all the better for us!
I was hoping, given that the boys have a friendship concert today, that he might be photographing those concerts. In his profile, he notes that "coming up soon, in (his) WCG 2008 album: W1 Children's Choirs 2nd round." I wonder if that might include our boys? Not sure what the W1 designation means.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
I have sent some messages back and forth with him. He is going to watch for our boys at the Awards Ceremony and try to take pictures of them and post them on flickr. What a great guy!
The pictures that Aaron mentioned were from W1 (Competetion Round for Category 1 - as I understand it W from Wettberwerb, the German word for competition and the 1 for the category). Hopefully this man went to the other 2 sessions and took pictures to post. He had photographed the 1st session and our boychoir is in the 3rd session.
