***** I think it's a Mardi Gras medley? I might be wrong, though.

The contest was won in the first minute.

The contest was won before their ballad was even over... this opening just secured it. 😊😎

This makes me think what Carolina Crown from Drum Corps International would sound like if they were doing this instead. Holy held chord! Amazing!

I make that comparison too. I tell my instrumentalist 'shopper friends that Barbershop chorus is the equivalent of vocal DCI

That chord at 0:52-0:58 is so frigging solid you could build a house on it. Goosebumps every time I hear that intro. Every time I watch this entire performance, I shake my head and guffaw out an expletive when it finishes. Unbelievable.

guibox3 I do the same thing. Locked up tighter than a cats ass in heat

I like the guy who does the first flip at 0:20 the best haha. He's so expressive for the entire thing

It's been nearly two years since I last saw this! WOW! This makes me feel so happy!

What does it mean?

I never get tired of this.

Some of the best moments of my musical life were spent on the stage with these fantastic singers. I'm grateful to have the wonderful style of Barbershop as a part of my life.

These guys are off scale...the future of barbershop choir singing is in good hands.

This chorus is WORLD CLASS all the WAY!! Congratulations again Guys!! It was amazing to see this live, and the ballad was also artistry at it's finest!!!

I've commented on this like 3 times the last 2 years and I have to comment again. Still one of the best performances I've seen and my favorite. The intro is enough to blow your mind, never mind the rest. Awesome, awesome,awesome!

Watch it regularly and it never gets old!

@0:32 That sustained chord they hold for forever, which turns into about 4 chords, gave me HUGE chills - and the choreography with it looks so cool. AMAZING job!

One of the finest performances ever...fabulous...what a sound! Relentless!

I'm sure there are Angels in heaven who sings like that

WOW. Simply amazing. So together, such a clean sound. And as cool as the long intro was, those last three chords show you at your best - the sound just explodes!

That chord change from :49-:53 is insanity. I just burst out laughing when I saw that, from the sheer joy of it - especially after all the changes leading into it. The whole thing, just insanely good. But that moment totally floored me.

Absolutely LOVED this!

My god that was one of the best things I've ever seen and heard!

Absolutely Amazing....

So many shivers every time I watch this :). Wish I could hear them live!

They are so happy, it's wonderful! :D.

amazing!!!! Congratulations from Brazil !!!

I really love this kind of music!!

BEAUTIFUL!

This is easily my favorite chorus performance ever.

I just keep watching this. WOW!

Flat out amazing...love this!

Great Actions..... Super Sound...... Wonderful Chorus

Agh, I can't even deal. This is superb, magnificent, mind blowing, and even eargasmic (lol what?)... I've gotten chills multiple times. If I was there in the front row I would've fainted.

amazingly inspiring and near perfect. Stunning performance guys! Keep up the good work!

damn! what a solid smooth sound as a fellow competitor i can relate to all the long hours and work that goes into this art form. WELL DONE WESTMINSTER

What an amazing intro! Wow!

I've have been a member in S. P. E. B. S. Q. S. A. before. This is a remarkably young chorus. Most of the Barbershop members now are like 70. I'm 44, but I'm a young 44. I wish I had a chorus like this to sing with

This is AMAZING! I am really blown away!

Welp. Gotta change my pants. 'Scuse me for a sec.

fantastic!!!!!

Seriously just blew my mind.

Fantastic discipline and hellishly good breath control all round.

this is amazing!!!

Guys....just amazing. When working on choreography....our coaches always used to say, "if I close my eyes....I want it to sound like you aren't doing choreography." Well, you pulled it off. Amazingly brilliant. Look forward to more of that in the future.

the post...good god the post, it was BEAUTIFUL!!

Love it!

That chord change at :53 is really awesome, and the choreography really brings it out.

Your the tops!

To edwards21416 You can bet there are guys in this chorus who were public school boys. The Barbershop Harmony Society it loaded with boys and men from every walk of life. There isn't a chorus in the society who wouldn't welcome a young singer from any school with open arms. What you're seeing here is the cream of the cream of the crop. These guys got here by virtue of ability and above all hard work and dedication. But anyone who loves singing and performing can find a place in the society.

Vive le Mardi Gras!!!! And long live the Westminster Chorus, 2-time International Chorus Champions!!!! Superbe!

A man named Aaron Dale. The man is blessed with talent.

2:44 - 2:52 That bass solo gives me chills everrtime

@RonRizzy I hear you. Nothing would make me happier than to see more young blood in the Society.

It doesn't matter how many times I watch this video. I just cannot wipe the silly, crap-eating grin off my face or stop getting chills and goosebumps from 0:38- 1:08. I am teaching 4 choirs this year in my school and I guarantee this is going to be at the top of my list to show them about sound and performance.

FINALLY!!!!! I love my brothers in the chorus.

Zayumm thanks for showing us this Shelly

thanks!

OH MY GAWD THE CHORDS IN THE INTRO HOLY CRAP.That augmented 6 chord at 4:11 is GOLD (i believe its an It+6)

@Paul_K_

***** It's just a 7th chord with a weird voicing. It's a G7 (in the key of B major) with the bass on the 3rd, baritone on the 7th a tritone above, the lead on the root a step above that, and the tenor on the 5th a 5th above the lead.

@Hector95100

.....that's an augmented 6 chord. Ger+6 to be specific. The only difference between It+6 chord and Ger+6 is one note. Ger+6 in the key of B is G7.... It+6 in the key of B is G7 without the 5th (D). So yeah. Still an Augmented 6.

***** If it helps, the chord is written B, E#, G, D in the key of B. Then it just resolves to a B chord with the Baritones jumping up to the B octave and the leads sliding down a half note. That's what it is in the sheet music, I don't know enough about theory to say what that is. I just know it was one of my favorite chords to sing!

G7. Then its a German +6 chord in B

The final stomp was in perfect sync. Just one massive BOOM!

bravo bravo encore encore brilliant

wow. just....wow.

hells yea; i know most of these guys don't come from Westminster; but to know they represent my city; just crazy to think about.........

and then came the chills...

nice haha very wonderful harmony..

I love Patrick Haedtler's energy. Honestly so great like the whole chorus!

wow super!

@TRPDDB hang on there. they weren't all "old" songs then, and songs had a longer shelf life than now, if only because it took longer for them to become as widely known. the concept is 4-part close harmony, unit sound, and arrangements (on paper or spontaneous, ie: woodshedding), with some chords that ring - you can try applying it to songs old and new. I'm trying to get some woodshedding going during the Quartets segment of our Tuesday night chorus rehearsals. Woodshedding is way cool.

Super Good...

Man are they good!!!!

Dat flawless stomp...wow.

that choreo modulation omg I wish it sounded like that when I did the wave

Powerful chorus!

Fantástico!!!

MERAVIGLIOSI!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun fact. While this didn’t outscore in performance. This actually got more points than ambassadors of Harmonys 76 trombones

goose bumps!

the countertenor section knocked my socks off

How you gonna put a tag at the beginning of your song

Yes! Look at us go!

it is like a fountain!

Great

@Protomagi Again, there are different schools of thought on the subject, but my professors teach that someone with a practiced falsetto is called male alto or soprano, or a "falsettist", and countertenors are the men with vocal abnormalities.

You know you're good when you can put the tag at the beginning of the song.

@BlackLotus1786 The Westminster chorus performed "Lux Arumque" which has extremely difficult harmonies that most choirs cannot achieve, and that really keeps them on their toes musically.

EVERY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:57 is the best tag i’ve ever listened to by a lot

3:05 I got here because I was looking for “a campy dude that made ridiculous facial expressions” and what I didn’t come here for is a cheeky wink

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! I LOST MY WORDS!!! GOD! HELP!!!!

How does this only have only a quarter million views?

Does anyone know what notes they are actually singing in that last chord and which are overtones? Some notes shimmer like they are overtones but are so loud it's hard to believe they are.

gosh. i'd so love to get a copy of the score...

@Esandcircle01 No kidding. I giggle every time I watch from 0:50-0:53. Nowhere will you hear or see cooler dynamics simultaneously than in barbershop choruses.

Fora do comum , muito bom

@piercewise1 yes I definitely like that one :), also their great day video is one of my favourites.

this is it!!!

@licencedtospill Because It's AWESOME!!!!

@Icyveins906 note that Toronto Northern Lights have repeatedly medalled, yet have one of the smallest choruses around.

can anyone help with a question... are there any rules that involve the markings on the stage floor? at 2:05 there's a white line accross the front of the risers. are there any rules saying singers cannot cross that line or anything like that? or are they just randomly there?

Muito bom...

I wonder if they will ever come to the Koger Center here in SC

How on earth can all of them do that 30 sec float in the intro?!? WOW.
