Midwest Vocal Express

Mom would REALLY be proud of how we represented our Milwaukee heritage and chapter history in this one! We originally performed this back in the '90s after our then-director Russ Foris arranged it for us to perform in the Buckeye Invitational. It's stayed in our repertoire over the years (as any good polka should when you live in an area with rich German and Polish heritage!), and our current director Bryan Ziegler updated it for our competition cycle this past year. Roll out the barrel!

See that medal around our director Bryan’s neck? He won that in 2018 with After Hours and it means that he gets to sing on Friday night’s The Association of International Champions (AIC) show here in St. Louis! Although After Hours won’t be on the show this year, Bryan will be singing in the AIC Chorus. Purchase your tickets at https://aicgold.com/!
