BETTER THAN FRONT ROW!
You deserve the Best Seat In The House!
You're not just smarter than the guy next to you; you're willing to put your numbers up against the top brains in the Society.
The Best Seat In The House auction lets you bid for a single seat in the judging area in any of the seven contest sessions at the upcoming International Convention in Toronto.
What do I get for my bid?
- A great seat in the judging area for your selected contest session.
- A special guest judge name tag.
- A complete set of judging and scoring forms for your selected judging category.
- Following the convention, a chart showing your scores compared to the official panel members in your selected judging category.
- An invitation to join the official panel at all meals and snacks at intermissions associated with your selected contest session.
- A great opportunity to interface with the official panel members, which could possibly provide you with new references if you plan to apply for the judging program in 2013.
Bidding runs until June 19 at http://bsith.harmonize.com.
Funds received go to Harmony Foundation International to help defray the expenses for such efforts as the Collegiate Quartet Contest, Youth Chorus Festival, Youth Harmony Workshops, Harmony Explosion Camps, and Harmony University Scholarships for Music Educators.

WHEN GIANTS ROMAED THE EARTH... SINGING
Preservation preserves all things preservable
 Next time you meet a grizzled senior member of our Society, remember that not so long ago, he was a young buck just like you, and he sang them higher, louder, and later at night than you. The kibitzing over each year's championship was just as intense, and the hijinks of travel to perform was just as much fun.
These and other gems can be mined in the pages of Preservation, a publication of the Society's Archives Committee under the leadership of Grady Kerr.

SO MANY CHAMPS! ONE AWESOME SHOW!
"Champs Night Out" is pure gold
The highlight of every Annual Convention is the Association of International Champions (AIC) Show, and Thursday, July 4, 2013 at 7:30pm at the Air Canada Center in Toronto ONT promises to be a show you won't want to miss.
Some folks are calling it "the best singing lineup you'll ever hear!" We won't get in the middle of the debate... but it would be hard to refute.
