Manitowoc’s Clipper City Chordsmen and Lake Effect Quartet travelled to Rochester Minnesota last weekend to compete in the Land O’Lakes District Barbershop contest. The Chordsmen placed 9th in the competition, while the Lake Effect Quartet’s score placed them in 21st place in the quartet competition. Chorus Director Dave Buss commented that “We are really pleased to be able to represent our division in this competition. I’m particularly proud of the guys in the chapter and how they did on stage.” One song the Chordsmen performed had the entire ensemble in tears, as it was a tribute to several of Chordsmen who passed away in the past month, Bruce Beyer, Steven Geibel, and Marv Lishka.
