100-Man Night 2005

Okay, so we didn't hit our goal of 100 guys on our first annual 100-Man Night, but we made it 2/3rds of the way there as 67 men showed up to enjoy singing Barber Shop Harmony . . . and enjoy it they did!

The event was held January 27, 2005 at the First Baptist Church in Columbia, MO.  The Chordbusters would like to thank Jim Bagby, the director of the Heart of America Chorus from Kansas City, for making the trip to Columbia to lead the evening's festivities.  Also, our thanks go out to Carter Combs and Rich Huyck for making the trip from KC to help lead the Tenor and Baritone sectionals, respectively!
