The first international that I ever attended at the age of 15. And I’m actually in this video at 11:18. For about 5 seconds. The young kid with blonde hair singing with my dad and 2 other guys…
It's great that we are recovering these. I remember our chapter would rent out these videos each year for part of our programming. Loved them! There used to be designed for radio shows that Hugh Ingraham narrated - I think they were just 15 minutes long. They would have some sort of theme (Dads, Moms, Heart, Love, Parades, etc.) with 4 songs or so.
This is awesome. Thanks for posting this. This video and the video from ‘71 remind me of how many “best to never win gold” quartets were around in the 70s: Sundowners, Vagabonds, 139th Street Quartet, Pacificaires…
I was a brand new member at age 15 when this convention took place. I competed in a quartet at International for the first time at the Cow Palace fourteen years later. We finished 14th. Not too bad for a bunch of first timers!
@@drakepugh23see if you can find the four Voices challenging the aic in a singing contest, I believe it's the same year Freestyle was interrupted by Fred during their mic-test.

Feels like the majority of the choruses back then had more voices on the risers than they do today.

Thanks so much for this memory! Brought back a lot of memories .
I hade no idea the Swedes were over there already in the 70s!
The quartet competition was stacked, a lot of future champs 💪
With a quartet based out of Spring Texas called the Innsiders winning international gold. John Divine is still going strong with his legendary pipes
I was there!!
Thanks for sharing this! I see you have uploaded 1976 and 1971. Where did you find these?
I found them in the Society archives. I’m searching for more if I can find more!
@@drakepugh23 I had no idea they had an "archive" website to find these. Or, do you mean on their TH-cam channel?

@@andreiter I found them in their physical archives at BHS HQ in Nashville. These came off of VHS
@@drakepugh23 Oh wow. You mean, you borrowed these tapes?

Seconding this. The clip of them was WAAAAAAY too short.
