Performing Wombat - Gotta see this

So you can see what I do in my spare time...

I've built up enough endurance now to stand and perform with my chorus, The Vocal Majority. I did a one-hour show fundraiser for The Colony High School a couple of weeks ago -- my first performance with the group since last June -- and then this past Friday performed at the American Choral Director's Association convention in Oklahoma City, which was a huge honor and an awesome show.

Looks like someone in the balcony at the VM's first performance last Friday had a video camera and has posted the videos online. Thanks to YouTube, you can enjoy our entire 30-minute performance! (Sorry that they're shaky sometimes.) I'm on the top row, right side, third from the right.

If you just have time for one, watch "Joshua."

That is cool, however I will note the lack of warthog costumes.

Maybe for Anaheim?

I would think that in "Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho" ,

that EVERYONE would be in a Warthog costume!

That was awesome, Wombat! Especially the Jericho. Shivered me timbers.
Hope you didn't hurt your ankle with that stomping about 5 minutes into the video.
No wonder you guys win so many awards, fantastic performance.

Great performance! "Luck Be a Lady Tonight" was very clever. I was in a choral society for several years, doing weddings, concerts, etc. I miss it.

Hmm...guess you never have to worry about having enough tenor or bass voices huh? :) I would love to do barbershop....or at least something with a written baritone line on occasion....

BRW, this was absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing & posting. :) VM is fantastic with all their show moves, enthusiasm, style, & vibrance. When watching I felt like I should have bought a ticket. Armed Forces Medley is my fav. Hope I can attend while VM is at Convention Center. You guys are awsome!! :cool:

VM should make an arrangement to come to Disneyland and do the Flag Retreat Ceremony. That would be AWESOME. Dapper Dans eat your hearts out. Hehe
