Big news in the Meloworld. Firstly, the Melodores' cover of Eric Whitacre song "Sleep" was nominated for a 2011 CARA for "Best Classical Song!" Considering the CARAs are basically the Grammys of the a cappella world, that's a pretty cool thing.
Second: this past weekend the Melodores traveled to Athens and came out with a 1st place standing and Best Choreography Award in the ICCA Southern Quarterfinals! There were a lot of great groups there. The Melodores will be traveling to South Carolina on March 19th to compete in the ICCA semifinals. Lots of practice between then and now!
