Lustre performs at Mid-Atlantic Harmony Sweepstakes
April 11, 2010
Wow, what a show! Last night, Lustre performed and competed at the Mid-Atlantic Harmony Sweepstakes a cappella festival in Alexandria, VA. We’re happy to report that we were the 2nd Runners Up!
This is the second year that we have participated in this event. The contest is a very different format than the SAI contest that we typically attend – this one is in a nightclub atmosphere. The other competitors come from all different types of music including jazz, pop, gospel, and alternative. There were eight groups performing last night, and each group had their own style, making the show very diverse and providing something for everyone in the audience.
We were very honored to be in the top three contestants. Congratulations to West Side Five, from New York, who took away the top honors. And congratulations to all the other competitors for a great performance! We are looking forward to seeing all of you in other a cappella events in the future.
Benefit Performance for Manna Food Center

Event Date: Sunday April 11 at 4:00pm
Lustre will join Capital Accord Chorus again this year on their annual spring show benefitting the Manna Food Center, a non-profit organization that provides food to the needy in Montgomery County, MD.
In addition to its service to the community, this show is highly regarded in SAI Region 19 as an opportunity for chorus and quartet competitors to show their stuff as they make their run up to Regional Contest later in April. Can’t make it to Ocean City for the quartet contest? Come to the show and get a sneak preview! This show has a long history of featuring quartets who go on to be Top Five medalists and Quartet Champions later in the same season.
We hope to see you there!
Please bring canned food donations in lieu of admission fee
