Congratulations to Eli Houdyshell, Levi McKinley, Jacob Larson, and Isiah Hand for being chosen as Pierre Fine Arts-First National Bank “Performers of the Week.” Here istheir nomination:
Eli Houdyshell, Levi McKinley, Jacob Larson, Isiah Hand (Choir): These four gentlemen took a barbershop quartet to our small group contest a few weeks ago. Barbershop quartets are not often seen at contest as the music and style is very difficult. The four parts create very tight chords that need to be in tune, and they really test part independence. From the moment they were given their piece, they were excited about it and they were always practicing it to get it down. After learning it, they took it upon themselves to dress the part, and add in a little act or schtick for their piece. They received a Superior with a perfect score and performed to a packed room. They were an absolute hit.
