What is eXtreme Quartetting?

Imagine.....

eighty (80) to 120 well prepared singers, fairly well balanced in four voice parts, gathering together for a weekend with a common repertoire of 10-12 challenging arrangements.  Imagine having the opportunity to sing with an almost unlimited combination of these singers in random quartets - knowing that every single singer knows their music cold and can sing it well.  Imagine having fully cleared,  high quality learning tracks and sheet music for the year's repertoire, usually in the singers' hands about 5 months before the event.

Imagine....

being assigned to a quartet at random, and with about an hour's practice, take the stage in a judged quartet contest singing one of the assigned songs.  All this within the first couple of hours of the start of the weekend. Succeed the first evening with that quartet and you get to compete again the second day with a chance to win first,second, or third place bragging rights. 

Imagine.......

Having so much time for random quartet partner switching that you have a chance to sing with every other person in attendance, in dozens of quartet combination.  Imagine making new friends and seeing old friends with the same passionate musical interest as  you .and getting the chance to sing with them in various venues, year after year.  Imagine singing in the morning, the afternoon, the evening, and into the wee small hours.  Quality music, quality singers.
