Constellation Takes Fourth Place at Division Contest

We are very proud to announce that Constellation, a quartet out of our own Gold Standard Chorus, took fourth place in the Northwest Division of the Barbershop Harmony Far Western District contest held in Woodside, CA on Saturday, April 14. Mark Torrance (tenor), Bill McCain (lead), Jordan Johnson (bass, who also directs the chorus), and Allen Takahashi (baritone) scored within three percentage points of first place on a 600 point evaluation scale. Their score qualified Constellation to compete at the Far Western District (CA, AZ, NV, HI, and Southern UT) contest to be held in October in Mesa AZ.

Yes, it’s that time again. Every year, the Gold Standard Chorus makes quartets available to deliver “singing telegrams” for Valentine’s day; we call them Valengrams! We are gearing up for Valentine’s Day 2012, are you? Just think of it – a loving surprise for your sweetheart in the form of a memorable Singing Valentine by The Gold Standard Chorus. Your special someone will be serenaded by a top-quality barbershop quartet, presented with a long-stemmed rose, a button, and a card with a personal message from you. Have it delivered at home, at work – or anywhere in the Santa Cruz area (within 20 miles).

So watch this space for further details, and get ready to give the gift of song to the one YOU love!
