will be plenty of opportunities for coaching.
Of course we will have a Show and party on Saturday Night. We are very fortunate to have
three members of the International Quartet BrouHaHa on the Judging Panel and the 4th
member will be attending. They will sing on the show and be leading classes and coaching
throughout the weekend.
