Channelaire Chorus <--- contestant No. "Last" (#33) in Nashville
"IT AIN'T OVER TILL CHANNELAIRE SINGS!"

I'm one of the basses from Twice as Nice - one of the double quartets
from California Heartland that competed in the Summer Double Quartet
Competition for Region 11. We had a great time at the competition --
both of our double quartets -- In Sink and Twice as Nice! It was the
first time most of us had done anything like this! It was a
fantastic experience for us all and we're all looking forward to next
year!

I understand a number of people were wondering where Twice as Nice
got our boots -- and if we painted them or if they came that way.
Here's the answer:

The boots pretty much came as they were. We added the eyelashes,
shiny big lips, and a small rhinestone in each eye.

We got them from: Washington Shoe Company -- on-line at
www.westernchief.com -- In their index, look under Rain Boots!

Could you please pass the information about the boots on to your
choruses? Thanks!

Web site and check out all the different talents and skills that you, your
quartet, or your chorus can take advantage of.

It's easy to place a bid. Just select the item(s) you're interested in,

name and chorus, and hit "Send." It's that's easy!

C-BAY will be live on our Web site through August 15, so check back
periodically between now and then to see if someone has out-bid you!

Help us get to Nashville and enjoy one or more of the 25 items up for
auction.
