Just like last year, you can get your name and work in the convention issue of The Harmonizer by writing the winning caption for the above photo.
We’ll be adding one new caption contest post EVERY BUSINESS DAY for the next little while. Each of these photos will appear in the Sept/Oct 2011 issue. Contest closes when I’m good and ready to wrap up this issue.
A bit of background on this picture of Sound of the Rockies: The chapter claimed that arrangers David Wright and Aaron Dale never return their calls, so they needed to figure out how to put together a gold medal-winning package on their own. They attempted the trademark routines of several past championship choruses, with less than stellar results.
Top that. (PLEASE!)
Here are the caption contest rules:
- This is NOT necessarily a humor contest, although true wit will be rewarded. A caption that’s lighter on wit but heavier on insight or cool facts can also be the winner. (And not every photo will be funny.)
- Clever one-liners are great, but captions can be longer. Maximum length is three sentences.
- You must use the name of the group as part of your caption — it has to serve as a stand-alone photo description for readers of The Harmonizer.
- You can submit more than one caption per photo.
- Some photos may have more than one winner. Some may have none.
- Most of the groups talked about in the convention won’t be in this caption contest.
- Include your full name and city, state/province with your submission. That’s what will be printed in the magazine.
- This is a group brainstorming session, so please submit your ideas in the comments area — please don’t email them to me directly.
Have at it!

fifteen yards for loud singing
When I grow up I want to be Jim Henry!
Sound of the Rockies’ wacky director-wanna-be Jim Clark sings, “I borrowed Jim Henry’s costume … I borrowed Jim Henry’s underwear!”

Oh nO! Sequins after Memorial Day! Please heal me of this fashion faux pas.
“Give it some heart” sing Jim Clark and the Sound of the Rockies chorus in the climax of their Greatest Barbershop Chart spoof of contest songs, taking the word “embellishments” to the n’th degree and leading the audience to vote SOR their favorite.

In a desperate attempt to break out of his shell, would-be director (and Storm Front lead singer) Jim Clark tries to become Jim Henry’s doppelganger and take the Sound of the Rockies to the gold. Alas, he came up a little short, as SOR finished in a tie for third. However, the Mile High Gang couldn’t have been happier in being voted the Audience Favorite.

Sound of the Rockies’ own Jim Hen…er, Jim Clark, stoops to a new low (and that’s going some) in the chorus’s attempt to stun the judges into submission during a manic and supremely stupid rendition of the new Adam Reimnitz arrangement, “The Greatest Barbershop Chart”.

Sound of the Rockies Jim Clark is penalized 15 yards for dropping his drawers on the chorus contest stage
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Sound of the Rockies was so sincere that they used the same young man with the same limp tuba. Wow that is really flattery!
YIKES! Will the sound generated by Sound of the Rockies
cover Jim Henry wannabe Jim Clark’s obvious (‘specially to the chorus) wardrobe malfunction? R-r-r-rip!
“My pants fell of AGAIN?!?!?
All right–which one of you wise guys starched my underwear?!?
The Sound of the Rockies’ chords ring
As Jim gives the comedy zing.
His bloomers, so floral,
On “this” Jim, are normal.
Next time they might bring home the Bling!
I’m wearing his uniform and down on my knees, but I’m too tall to be Jim Henry!
Sound of the Rockies must have been running late and decided that pajama pants are now the latest in fashion!
Sound of the Rockies Jim Clark must have been running late and decided that pajama pants are now the latest in fashion!
The entire Sounds of the Rockies team join Jim Clark’s protest of the last minute 15-yard penalty for ugly pants.

In weeks prior to their second attempt of winning gold at International in 2011, the members of Lunch Break were giving their best impressions of how Old McDonald kills his chickens. (left to right) He could choke them. He could Karate Chop them. He could cut them with scissors. He could blow them up. Fortunately for them (and us) they changed the song at the last minute to Old McDonald had a Deformed Farm to win the hearts of audience members.

^^ Oops. Sorry wrong page.
Does the Sound of the Rockies’ Director know that the only thing the Cossacks behind him hate more than “Music Man” are “daffodil” pants?
