Last night was the ICCA Northeast Region Semifinals at MIT, and I went to support the Chorallaries with a bunch of other alumni.
The groups were all really very good, and many of them were distressingly good. First place went to the Dukesmen of Yale, which was a foregone conclusion after their first song. Later, the hosts ran out of things to do to kill time while the judges were deliberating, and so there was a “perc-off”, a demonstration of vocal percussion from all the groups, which was even more depressingly impressive.
I feel low in talent compared to these people.
