Quartet Semi Finals Pt 2

We're back from the Quartet Semi Finals and it's 11:20 pm, Wednesday night. We had to wait around a while to find out which ten quartets are in the finals on Friday. Here are the results so far:

15th place - Luminous
14th place- Ice!
13th place -Remix
12th place - Cabaret
11th place - (and Mic Testing quartet) Shimmer.

The top ten quartets (or maybe it's the top 15) excluding 1st place get to compete at the 2009 Nashville Comp without having to requalify.

The finalists are, in order of performance:
1 Jackpot
2 Affinity
3 Martini
4 Zing
5 Razzcals
6 Capri
7 Maxx Factor
8 Moxy Ladies
9 Sparks
10 Mojo.

Accolade weren't in the top 15 and we're waiting to hear what their score was; we're gathering in Vicki and Vicki's room shortly. Admittedly we're biased, but we thought they performed as well as they ever had, and sounded wonderful. When they came off stage there was a bunch of Aussies as well as Vicki's friends from Bay Area Showcase and Pat Levezu and Ase Hagemann lined up to congratulate them.

We're heading off to party now. Chorus comp tomorrow, so we can't be too late up or too drunk.

You'd know by now that Accolade came 29th...they were the highest placed Southern Hemispherical quartet (all three of them - hahaha - BUT still...). Have several bubblies with them for us...(or Mai Tais or whatever you're drinking in Hawaii...I am so motivated for Hobart and Nashville now...
(And I could hear you guys cheering in the Hall..yes, you personally, hahahah)

Oh WOW, 29th place, I believe this may be a Region 34 best ever result? Haven't our girls just continued to improve, this is a great result for their third International contest performance. Love the new earrings!
