Contestant #34 in Friday's Land O' Lakes District Quartet Contest has been together for over a year, so we're not sure if they still qualify as "new" - but their name is "What's New?" so that's what we'll call them! This NextGen quartet hails from the Badgershop Chorus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and their lead Maddie also sings in Forward Harmony. Please send them your warmest well wishes!

Our chapter has had the good fortune this year of having today's featured quartet as the headliner on our spring show, and also cheering for them in the Sing-In contest at this summer's international contest in St. Louis. This week, they'll be contestant #33 in the Land O' Lakes District quartet contest. Please join all of us in MVE and Forward Harmony in cheering loudly for... Chill Factor Quartet!

No, their name isn't a mistake! Contestant #28 in next week's Land O' Lakes District quartet contest is indeed "404 Quartet Name Not Found." These handsome gents all sing together in The Capitol Chordsmen Chorus, and Jon and Mark will also be onstage with Forward Harmony in Minnesota. Break a leg!

One of the longest tenured quartets in the Greendale chapter is contestant #15 in the upcoming Land O' Lakes District quartet contest, Lakefront! They frequently place in the top 5 in the district, and we can't wait to see what Max, Dylan, Brian & Derek have in store for us this year! Let's give a hand for...LAKEFRONT!

Contestant #11 in the Land O' Lakes District quartet contest is They Must Be Mad - a NextGen quartet hailing from the BadgerShop Chorus of University of Wisconsin-Madison. This foursome includes Greendale Chapter member Daniel Wanak. Although you won't see Dani onstage with either of our choruses in Bloomington, he'll still have a busy weekend competing with this quartet as well as Thrift Store Four, 404 Quartet Name Not Found, The Capitol Chordsmen Chorus and The Journeymen Chorus. Break a leg to TMBM and start hydrating now, Dani!

Thanks to all who came early or tuned in early to see our mic testing package in St. Louis this morning. We had a ball on stage and loved seeing our cheering section from the audience. Props to our youngest fan Callie Ziegler who joined us for our webcast interview! Bryan Ziegler Kathryn Ziegler
