Ambassadors Of Harmony - 2009 International Barbershop Chorus Champions

To my friends, family and especially those with a musical bent. This is the most amazing performance with large vocal group I have ever seen. Be sure to watch to the end-- some amazing stage tricks with such a large group, too.
The choral work is amazingly crisp and words so clear - which is what barbershop is all about.

The choreography is really great too.
In Anaheim July 4th, 2009, a performance by the Ambassadors of Harmony
from St. Charles (Metropolitan, St. Louis ) Missouri . They scored a 100 out of a
100 for this and probably would have been given more if that was possible.
No chorus had ever scored 100 in the history of Barbershop since 1938.

Catherine Destivelle - expert free-style rock climber

A blast from the past. This pre-YouTube video is of Catherine Destivelle soloing in Mali. Filmed in 1987, High Magazine commented,
"the film of her soloing on a sandstone cliff in the Mali desert is one that has been seen worldwide and the one clear image that has stuck in the minds of the general public in Britain".

This was undoubtedly true at the time, and most climbers of a certain generation will have seen this film before, however now that video is ubiquitous across the internet, it is easy to forget such classics as this.

The film examines the local people, the Dogons of Sanga, for whom climbing is part of their everyday life. Catherine is fascinated by these people, and they admire her daring solo climbs.
