SWEEPS RESULTS
Last night was the Boston Regional Harmony Sweepstakes. We came in second place, but more importantly, won the AUDIENCE FAVORITE vote!I was dissappointed that we didn't win the competition and the trip to California, but what was reassuring was the staggering number of people who came up to us afterwards and said, "you guys were ROBBED!" Even the other competing groups came up to us several times before the end of the show and told us that we had it in the bag. When they announced Audience Favorite, the crowd went nuts and that was good enough for me.
We sold a TON of pre-order CDS and I think we may have used up all of the pages in our mailing list book! The prize we won was 300 discs pressed at Discmakers, and since our CD is coming out next month, that works out great!** All-in-all, it was a great night, and confirmation that we're making great music. Who knows? Maybe we'll win next year!
**For anyone who knows the Sweeps competition, 2nd place ususally gets Shure mics. There was some sort of screw-up and they didn't get them, so we got the discmakers CD pressing. That's actually better for us since we already have mics. :)
