Tenor: Eric Woodward Lead: Sorren Wohlers Baritone: Kalin Tapp Bass: Sydney Lipsack
Millennium is a collegiate barbershop group consisting of Kalin Tapp, bariton, Sydney Libsack, bass, Soren Wohlers, lead, and Eric Woodward, tenor, but they are not just any collegiate barbershop groupŠthey're 2000 International Collegiate Champions! The four are all students at Northwest Missouri State University, where in 1998 freshmen Sydney and Soren auditioned for the Celebration Show Choir and joined Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia with Kalin and Eric as their fraternity 'pops.' The four began building a repertoire, calling themselves 'Millennium' and performing such songs as 'Tonight, Tonight' and 'No More Sorrow' on Celebration tours. By Spring Show of 1999 their performance of 'Rhythm of Life' had the audience out of their seats. They competed in SPEBSQSA's international competitition in 1999 with 'Last Night on the Back Porch' and 'Bright Was the Night,' winning third place. Then came the 2000 competition, and a stunning performance of 'The Little Boy' and 'I'm Beginning to See the Light.' The judges' verdict was announced with a roar from the crowd: the aptly-named Millennium was International Champs! 11 songs, including a wonderful 'Hooked on a Feeling,' '60-Minute Man,' 'Jezebel,' 'Lost,' 'Charlie Anyboy,' 'O Holy Night'Šthese are all great, and it's clear the judges made their decision based on talent, not because of Millennium's name! |
