Wellington, as usual, was the generous host, but the choirs had already traversed the island, coming down from Auckland through Hamilton, Rotororua, Palmerston North to reach finally Wellington, Sounds Capital for the final ecstatic concert, showcasing all the winners of this Pan Pacific Barbershop Chorus Competition. The World Champion Choir, Westminster, from California, finished the night, culminating in a standing ovation ( unusual) for their fabulous rendition of the hit song Bridge Over Troubled Water, by Simon and Garfunkel. The memory of the evening's singing still lingers and I wonder at their absolute dedication to that magical instrument of sound, the human voice. I must get to work and do some Per Bristow vocal exercises!
