There are so many goat'ed moments in this set, jeez. - the singing itself good enough to possibly win gold a second time in a row - the totally definitely still four part chords that were definitely still legal - the "astonishing" chaos - the quartet betting pools that were all parodying but also still in good tasteful fun - the polka band - when all the audience started doing the "one clap" after every individual name was called - the entire final song What a legendary swan set.
@kagomeshuko basically this chorus won the International Gold the previous year. When a chorus wins, they're not allowed to compete the next two years, but the next year they perform a swan set that's basically the sendoff for their championship year. While it's not built for competition and they're not competing with the other choruses with it, choruses will often put a LOT of time and effort and practice into making that set showcase the same level of brilliance you'd expect from when they won. And this one, even by normal swan set standards, was incredible.
@@sylinmino Thanks! I didn't know the rules at all. So, its like a "goodbye" for the next two years? Like somebody's final act before retiring or quitting a job being a swan song?
@kagomeshuko not really a goodbye as much as a finale to their champion year. They also only take off one more year after this one (since this is performed the year after they win). It's a celebration of sorts, and also gives them the chance to show appreciation to all those that helped them get there.
Absolutely and just amazingly so good! This is what can happen when you devote your time and effort to a greater cause. All of these individuals have done just that. And now we are able to see the efforts of their resolve! Just beautiful
✝️🏆🏆🏆you are astonishing!MY GRANDFATHER SANG BARBer IN THE 50'S&60'S IN MADISON WI. AND I FOUUND the MUSIC CITY CHORUS. I HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH WONDERFUL SOUND.THEY ARE FANTASTIC. I WANTED THEM TO WIN THE AWARD AGAIN. THEY ARE THE BEST AND THATS FACT 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆THANKYOU!!!
@ A swan set is a chorus or quartet’s performance the year after they win. Music City won in 2022 and performed this set in 2023 after the international chorus contest.
Wow that was rather special. My dad always told me he loved the sound of barbershop but being a child growing up in the 60s uk I didn’t get much chance to experience it UNTIL I discovered it on RUclips during Covid and I love the sounds you get. Classical musician here held in and emotional crescendo during some of the chords I hear. Thank You and if my dad were here he would have loved this too 🎉❤🎉❤🎉
After winning the chorus contest, the winning group cannot compete again for the next 2 competition cycles. Since Music City Chorus won in 2022, we performed this swan set in 2023 after the chorus contest had concluded, and before handing off the trophy to Ambassadors of Harmony. We plan on competing again in Denver for the 2025 contest!
Amazing, funny, and what musicianship!
That joke with Midtown and Lunch Break aged phenomenally lmao
Yeah lunch break was my favorite! 💯

Can you explain what a swan set is? I don't know what it is. I just like listening to Barbershop.

Outstanding Gents. Clever and not pretentious. Thank you. Oh wait you haven't finished!!!......
I wish they didn’t have to take off those medals, they are an inspiration to all who watch them. Forever champs ❤
With the band section now I want a full weird Al barbershop Medley!
Veggietales!!! In barbershop!

This is why I love barbershop, nothing beats how strong the camaraderie is; it’s beautiful.

@@LauraElizaGenevieve Thanks! So, from another comment, that means they can participate again in 2025?

I wish I could’ve been on stage with my brothers to sing this great set! Great job boys!!

I can't wait until they're at BABS next year, so I'm watching this instead
The loudest intros gets the high scores and well blended
WOW! I could sing Bass in this group.
