Not sure where it came from, but if someone or something was being a jerk or just plain stupid you would call them a scoach. Ex: If someone took my food at the lunch table, "Scoach, get your own food!" Or if someone beat me at Goldeneye 007 on N64, "Scoach!"

Brody McDonald is their director, and he's one of the most capable movers and shakers in the high school a cappella world. He's arguably their biggest reason for success--they couldn't do what they do without him! In the plus side, we've bragged about him in the past, so hopefully he'll forgive our omission of his name in this particular episode. He's a good friend. PROPS TO BRODY! :) --DB Wow, good point Warren!

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:12:20 +0000 http://www.mouthoffshow.com/?p=425#comment-375 Couldn't help but notice that you guys didn't refer to Eleventh Hour's musical director at any point in the review. Are they self-directed or do they have a faculty member nudging them in the right direction? Having an "adult in the room" gives high school groups an unfair advantage over a lot of arrogant collegiate groups who suck without having the perspective to figure out that they're sucking. I judged both Varisty Vocals finals in April 2006, and the ICHSA final (as an overall show) was far, far, far better than the ICCA final the following night. The difference was really striking; it was the attention to excruciating detail of the college groups versus the cultivation of overall sound of the high school groups. Having an "adult in the room" will do that for you; we can only hope that these high school singers will keep that lesson of perspective in mind when they go on to college groups and all of the distractions and egos and musical regression they often entail.

"Disturbia!" Yes, we're about a year late in the prime of its popularity, but in Red States fashion, we're all "f that shiz" about popularity and still doing it. And, as the self-proclaimed king/queen (hah) of countermelodies in Red States (I have a tendency to populate my arrangements with countermelodies ever since my college days; call it a sickness, whatever.), this arrangement features snippets of Lady Gaga's "Love Game" sung by the baritones and Rihanna's "Don't Stop the Music" sung by the altos. Yeah, you heard me. What. That probably scratches your itch a bit more. Need some calamine lotion? :) PS, Christopher – Red States just within the past couple months started working on a cover of…. “Disturbia!” Yes, we’re about a year late in the prime of its popularity, but in Red States fashion, we’re all “f that shiz” about popularity and still doing it.
