Hours, minutes and years all in the title of the video, hehe

[@tjmartin10100]

The whole song is amazing, but Ziegler’s solo at the the end may be some of the best singing I’ve ever heard. They say sing like you’re talking and it almost sounds like spoken word in perfect harmony. Well done! Amazing talent!

[@judybeach3991]

He’s soooo good..,!

[@judybeach3991]

You guys are spoilers!!!💐🎶🎵🫶🏼

[@jrave5353]

This internationals was the very first barbershop competition I attended, and I remember that going in, one of the senior guys in my chorus informed me this was “Signature’s year to win it.” But then, I heard this performance live, and even though I didn’t even know who After Hours were I was convinced they would win the entire thing.

[@frak7190]

Also Drew is simply a god of the performance category, he's a total pro at the show tunes

[@Dylan-vk5uv]

I worked with him at a quartet event and the guy really has one of the best voices I've ever heard even when not sung with by the other guys

[@CarterShaw]

Absolutely beautiful. I’ve been listening to this performance for about 2 and a half years and it really was what showed me the beauty that this type of music could have. This performance and arrangement is simply exceptional. A very deserving first place finish from after Hours.

[@quickpacman]

I really like the word play at the end. “I will never be completely until... I do.” As in I won’t be complete until we say I do. Absolute beauty.

[@lifeontheledgerlines8394]

Unrelated, but I really like their pocket square/bow tie combo.

[@ChrisGarrison72]

LifeOnTheEdge no I understand, it is very related

[@MarlinTheGaiboi01]

Absolutely phenomenal. I can’t believe I only just found this version now after stumbling on the sheet music for this arrangement. I’d loved this song and the show it’s from for a good decade now :’)

[@flyingdics1]

A new(-ish) song in competition!?!?! This musical is the best and its songs should be everywhere all the time.

[@sylinmino]

It's been a day since this was uploaded and I've already watched it like 10 times. I might keep watching it for the next ten lifetimes.

[@rmenaker]

What an awesome set of performances by four wonderful gentlemen. They will serve the Society well as champs!

[@rockman221]

No live performance is ever well-represented by these videos, but they get the job done. This performance was on a whole new level. This video can't come CLOSE to the magic of this song live. Well deserved win for After Hours! And some insane performances to go with it!

[@joshywashy3453]

5:37 was so clean.

[@jakethewoz]

Great job, lads. Never thought I'd hear someone pull off an arrangement of this song, let alone one so true to the real song, and further let alone as champions. You guys are incredible! Been following you guys for years, through all the changes. Well earned gold!

[@jakeharvey3582]

Well as sad (and surprised) as I was to see Signature place second again, I’m very happy that After Hours won. Congrats to these guys and thanks for an AWESOME first international. :) Please upload NF4 vids!!! “Gaston” and “All Star” were especially spectacular. 😂

[@jeramisoriano7310]

They can use the same “three years in a row” gimmick Max Q did back in ‘07

[@jeramisoriano7310]

Signature to be specific

[@johndurham1757]

Signature would have to place 2nd again next year for that to work, they took 4th in 2016. That would be amazing, though!

[@NikoPorter]

Love this performance, such good champions. Also that lead, Drew, is outstanding! This was a great international

[@splubber99]

How do they stay so in tune during their "doo"s with the tenor having a completely different vowel shape??? Blows my mind. Fantastic quartet, can't wait to see what opportunities this accomplishment opens up for them!

[@finbeard]

Sean Lubbers fun fact i learned from some excellent coaching over the last couple of years, vowel shape and mouth shape are very different phenomena! tuning and vowel matching are determined much more by sound placement choices in the soft palate, back of the mouth, tongue, & throat than the lips/mouth. the mouth is basically the last component in the “equation.” this is why people with drastically different head/mouth/sinus shapes & sizes can have great voice blend and vowel matching in barbershop! it’s all in the technique, which makes AH all the more impressive!

[@beebumble3248]

Practice

[@THEdrummer61146]

Sean Lubbers resonance my dude.

[@judybeach3991]

Vowel shape comes from the inside.. takes skill.

[@judybeach3991]

Vowel s are shaped in the mouth I think

[@janmuddle6026]

Championship caliber cleanliness & engagement. Saw Bryan fill in as bass with VS on a show (2-3?) years ago and was floored. These guys are as good as it gets. Kudos to all others too as it keeps getting better.

[@judybeach3991]

A lovely”Getting To Know You” song! Some crush somebody has!!

[@joetastic3594]

This arrangement is amazing

[@georgeobrien9748]

Best 10 minutes ever.

[@jmaxton]

Magical!

[@duskmallow]

These first few bars made me nervous (the "dodoo-dodoo-dodoo-dodoo" part)... Because I play violin in an orchestra, and those high but quiet notes are so nerve-racking.

[@judybeach3991]

Love this song!

[@Outtahereasap]

They earned winning place. Enjoyed it at the conference center very much.

[@JessicaMaeve]

On my list of favorite barbershop arrangements❣️🎵

[@bjaurdryy]

Goosebumps and tears...

[@abethebabe01]

I love this song and now I love it even more

[@georgeobrien9748]

never gets tired. you guys are awesome .

[@Bowling_Dude]

Although I love Signature. I am glad They won. Dan wessler is my idol

[@Wahl95]

PLEASE upload their other contest performances soon! I want to hear their new song choices!

[@brockertteambrockert]

Incredible!

[@jammer8460]

LOVE.

[@NikoPorter]

My favorite moments: 3:27 4:13 (That gorgeous 9th) 4:20 5:40

[@coyjhutcherson9693]

So good

[@emilytolman46]

Amazing so beautiful!!!

[@SimplyWoodenCreations1980]

I have just become a fan...you guys are awesome.

[@sparklebee8931]

delicious dynamics here!!

[@stennisl]

That was beautiful

[@yoshuahariman]

fantastic performance of a fantastic arrangement!

[@fernandodolz9247]

surprisingly, i think ithis is the highest that a quartet has score in the contest (in the new system of course)

[@saraalhashimi2650]

They are the current highest scoring quartet champions. However, Spiderfarm (Midtown) is the current highest scoring song of all time (in the new system).

[@nhgoofy5923]

Might be watching this for a bit longer than the next ten minutes....

[@georgeobrien9748]

Barbershop par excellence.

[@judybeach3991]

A sweet rendition..

[@hrpang]

Man... I still love NF4 but After Hours are amazing in their own right.

[@lifeontheledgerlines8394]

You can love multiple quartets, you know! Lol

[@jeremiahacosta422]

4:20 WAS DO DIRTY... But yet so so so clean.

[@ringerzzz2710]

Please post more the contest

[@BarbershopHarmony]

As shared prior to the convention, performances will be released on our KZbin channel in October. From our FAQ: Q: When will the performances be available on KZbin? A: We plan to share all contest/festival videos on the BHS KZbin channel 3 months after the convention. Some show performances will be available sooner and some video content will be available exclusively to FloVoice viewers for 6 months following the convention. Full FAQ page here: www.barbershop.org/orlando/live-stream/

[@georgeobrien9748]

Tutorial par excellence.

[@jonathanatcapta]

Can some people review and approve the subtitles that have been written? Click on the settings gear >> Subtitles/CC >> Add subtitles/CC, then click "Looks Good" (I think It's a blue button toward the top-right of the screen). I love this song, the arrangement, and this is a superb performance! I've listened to it at least 30 times... :)

[@judybeach3991]

Me too!

[@Paul_K_]

The stereo audio is reversed left-to-right. Tenor is heard on the right side and bari on the left. Please please fix this. It would be a shame to have the official recording of this performance permanently messed up. I don't know if it's a youtube problem or a video editing problem but it needs to be corrected.

[@treesarecool12345678]

Paul Keller just imagine you’re standing in the middle of the quartet 😂

[@jimkugle]

We thought it was that way live too... Seemed like they noticed the problem halfway through the semis and fixed it. Or we're all having crazy overtone hallucinations. You never know :D

[@Paul_K_]

idk about the semis but I definitely remember it being messed up for the finals on the webcast. The audio from the center mics was backwards. (but the audio from the side mics was correct, so you couldn't even fix it by flipping your headphones!)

[@yaybrianna]

I have no problems on my end. Using headphones in the correct ears.

[@Paul_K_]

Bradley Babiack try flipping your headphones. Your eyes can trick your ears when they don't agree but once it's correct it is more obvious that it's correct, if that makes sense

[@tdvorak9987]

They deserved to win!

[@lifeontheledgerlines8394]

@@fibronic9674 I think the original commenter meant they deserved their win.

[@joehooks8239]

3:12

[@doctorbanana07]

Bruh my uncle's in this quartet

[@officialjbmusic9159]

Drew is the new Shawn 😅

[@lucadynamo3758]

Will the other performances be uploaded?

[@chosofps]

Luca Dynamo like last year I'm sure they will post all of international performances

[@MrDrewseph]

Is that the bad guy from Iron Man 2

[@MT-sf4sk]

Wait, what? This didn't make it through?

[@georgeobrien9748]

Just give me 10 minutes to prove myself.

[@goldmans95]

4:14 is stupidly in tune

[@thomasriedel1379]

Stephen Goldman it was so in tune that God almost took Drew and Tim to heaven for a job well done lol (look at drew and Tim’s feet)

[@goldmans95]

dude, yes

[@FanofCrash25]

I feel like the bass is pressing most of his lower register. Signature has a more resonant sound I think, but After Hours won because they were better in sync and more musical and Drew Ochoa is one of the greatest ever. However I think I could listen to Signature for a longer period of time than After Hours just because of how bright and thin After Hours sounds to me.

[@frak7190]

I could listen to After Hours for longer because they don't just sing the same type of song on a loop for virtually every contest

[@ohhellfire2728]

Frak this

[@overtone55]

Signature didn't ring as much and wasn't as clean. They were still clean, but After Hours was cleaner. Talk to a judge who was sitting in the pit, instead of judging from section 304 :>

[@TaksSings_n_DrinksMilk]

Oh snap

[@FanofCrash25]

Just for the record, I'm not disagreeing with After Hours winning, they deserved to win and they'll be awesome champs. "Thin" probably isn't the right word, I just feel like theres too much edge for me compared to other recent winners who seem to have warmer resonance. Again, no doubt that he's a pro, just not my cup of tea.

[@nancyconway4026]

Jay-sus.

[@matthew-qu2mn]

until i doo doo

[@ohhellfire2728]

man that was not the chord i thougt it would end on

[@ABarbershopBarber]

Brian D don’t you love how you expect Brian to sing b3 2 3 and he suddenly drops to low 5. Vocal gymnastics for sure.

[@bruceevans56]

Oh, dear. Hmmm... I wonder if I would be as eager to join the society today as I was 38 years ago.

[@sylinmino]

What a strange question to ask. Quartets today, especially those that medal, encourage a way stronger, healthier, and vibrant vocal quality than any quartet except maybe the Boston Common exhibited in the 70s through 90s. It's precisely these breakthroughs that are making the style way more appealing to the youth AND to music educators today.
