See round 1 for the rules.
Today’s picture: Four Man Fishin’ Tackle Choir. You may have guessed by their name that this Pioneer District quartet doesn’t take itself too seriously. They were the 50th and last quartet to perform in Kansas City’s quarterfinals, and they finished in 50th place. But these seasoned entertainers earned something that only a handful of the other 49 quartets got: A big standing O. The judges knew their stuff, but so did the audience: Quality entertainment is always richly rewarded!
Top that. (PLEASE!)

This is not en entry – but my old quartet “TheGiant Springs
Clef Dwellers and Carp Snagging Society” used identical
outfits in a contest in Calgary AB CA a few years ago.
PS: We sang last in Calgary too!
Due to an unfortunate error, four members of the Associated Trout Fishermen of America arrived too early for their annual convention and mistakenly found themselves in the middle of the quartet contest. Although they were awarded first place for the largest fish, they finished last in the contest.
Finally – ONE honest fisherman!
The FMFT quartet proudly displays the consolation prize they received at the Kansas City contest.
Four Man Fishin’ Tackle Choir (PIO) was a great catch for audience members who waited till the very last reel. While they didn’t weigh with the big tunas, their outing reeled in a standing O larger than their combined catches of the day.

Watcha see her is the FMFTC, or as de refer to dem up in da mitten der for short; The Four Man Fishin’ Tackle Choir, bringin’ up da rear w/ der performance. De is made up of 3 largemouth basses & one of unknown origin. While I swear on my Sears Catalog this is all true I was one of the audience giving then a “standing O” in K.C.
fmftc proudly reassert that size doesn’t matter

The Barbershop Harmony Society has recently been discussing differing medal sizes for its top five quartets based on the judges’ recommendations on which member of the quartet contributed least.
In the 2011 contest, it was decided to experiment from the “other direction” by awarding dead fish to the lowest-scoring quartet. In that light, the smallest and least … um … aromatic one went to lead Curtis Busman of the Four Man Fishing Tackle Choir for having been deemed by the panel the least “unsavory” performer. Here Curtis steps forward to seek three other volunteers to join him in next year’s competition.
It’s not the size of the fish…..
Maybe next years International Barbershop Convention will be somewhere other than a midwestern “cowtown” where it’s “Bring Your Own Fish”!
Joe was a bit suspicious about his new singing partners, but brought them to contest anyway; yet he still wondered, “Why do they always want to sing, ‘take me to the river, drop me in the water’?”
The FMFTC celebrate diversity in their own special way…
1) They were “off the Hook”
2) Ironic to have a Bass catch a bass.
3) Now there’s some major “Scales”!
Now we know they can fish, but can they sing?
