Gabe and the Late Show Quartet
This week is the International Barbershop Quartet competition in Indianapolis (pronounced “Indiana-PO-liss”). I had been very optimistic that I would be able to attend this year, but things are not looking to be in favor of that. Bummer, huh.
Anyway, my old quartet buddy Gabe will be there. I used to sing with Gabe in Razorburn, I told you about that here and here. But his current quartet, Late Show, qualified for Internationals this year! That’s a big deal.
I’d love to go hear him in person, but next best to that will be catching them on the webcast. So don’t call or visit the ITF headquarters this Wednesday, July 5, around 2:45 in the afternoon. I’ll be busy.
Let it rip Gabe!

Late Show made the top 20!!
I didn’t hear them though, the webcast was a major disaster, no one could hear the entire first session. I heard the second. They’re supposed to replay the first session.

Hey Tom – THANKS for the plug. Yeah, the first session of webcast was a disaster and a real bummer for my mom (who was trying SOOOO hard to get it to work!) – hopefully you got a chance to catch the semis? What a BLAST to sing on that big stage!! Wow… we couldn’t be happier with our finish. Thanks for your support, dude… and I’m sorry we didn’t get a chance to see you – I miss you! Late, Gabe

[…] Reveille was a comedy quartet, and they had some pretty wild schticks (check out the picture from their pirate set via the previous link). This summer on the webcast we saw them do a psycho dentist act where they forced their baritone back in a chair and the lead went to work on him with a cordless drill and I don’t remember what all, it was pretty crazy. My 5 year old nephew Cody wanted to watch it again and again. […]
