We're having a lot of fun with this arrangement. Everyone gets a solo! It's a bit tricky for us but we'll get there eventually.

This arrangement would induce fainting in most groups - is oxygen optional?? - takes the mastery of Ringmasters to make it sound that good unmiked, and without any sound engineering. Fabulous!

[@normawike2109]

Don’t care what you call it. I call it great. Love it.

[@bigoz-fybb]

OMG!!! You have no long how much I have wanted to see something like this, not only to see how the greatness comes to be, but also for some cool tricks that my quartet and I could use!

[@chrispaul79]

Yaay totally down to see more rehearsal videos

[@Mark.Rose.Stunts]

Can’t wait to hear the real recording of this. Please do more Sondheim! There’s not enough barbershop groups doing Sondheim, and you guys would sound amazing on any of his songs. Suggestions: Children will listen Johanna Sunday in the park with George Finishing the hat

[@Mark.Rose.Stunts]

PS- please do more of these rehearsal videos. Really cool to see the process.

[@stephensandham4919]

I am a young tenor from Ohio, and I am so blown away by you! The talent and expression you all put into a piece is amazing! You’re performances really show you all have a huge love for music. I absolutely love Smile! A very meaningful song which you all performed marvelously! I hope I get to see you all live one day!

Great fun to watch , takes me back to quartet rehearsals that were nowhere near as testing as that!!

[@praxisquartet]

Love this! Amazing detail work and attention to the specific impact moments. It really shows in an arrangement with such a rhythmically driven premise. Excited to hear the finished product on this. Well done!

[@TNLchorus]

Thanks for sharing insights into your rehearsal. We hope you share some more! :)

[@duskmallow]

Yessss I love Sondheim

[@mexico53ify]

Love how you slow the singing down and just build those chords.

[@mexico53ify]

I love this....it's my new favourite song that you've put up on You Tube. How I wish I could have been a fly on the wall for the very first rehearsal for this!!!

[@Just_Sara]

Well that was fun, thank you!

[@nooshiewest8738]

Great to see you rehearsing and wonderful to hear some exciting new material!

[@baconice-cream]

"Ska du gå hem" had me giggling 😂 They're just so funny in general, it's nice to see so much laughter in rehearsal

[@CarolineLockMusic]

I'm so excited! I love you guys!

[@jwebond]

You guys are simply awesome !

[@emilytolman46]

Awesome love this song!!!

[@MiguelCarvalhoMusic]

I’ve been telling my bass not to sing with his hands in his pockets for years and now Jakob is out here killing like that and walking around... What I’m supposed to do with this information?

[@EmanuelRoll]

Keep telling your bass not to sing with hands in pockets :)

[@Azortharion]

[@EmanuelRoll]

@@Azortharion It's about posture in any kind of performance related activity really. If you want to be at your best you will have an active body and the hands in pockets make that slightly harder. Jakob is a beast and does really well anyway. I do it too from time to time but I don't think I should. Your body can trick your mind, the mind will affect the voice in both bad and good ways.

[@tiagomarques9822]

😂🤣😂🤣

[@chrispaul79]

@@EmanuelRoll “the mind will affect the voice in good or bad ways” I’ve actually been studying up this book called the singing athlete that’s all about a brain based approach to training. But yeah it’s goes deep into training all the senses to be more accurate so your brain can have a better prediction of the environment which ultimately leads to feeling safer which dramatically improves the quality of the voice. It’s all connected 👁🧠😂

[@RyanMarks205]

Can you guys please explain how, if at all, you all communicate during a song. For exeample, if someone is holding a long note, how does the rest of the group know it's time to move on? I often see use of hands in front and behind. It's hard to tell if a subtle tap on the back is used to communicate.

[@Ringmasters]

We usually use the whole body language to communicate that. The arms and hands are extensions of our expression. If we sing big it will usually look big too. A lot of the communication is also done with the voices. Swells, turning of diphthongs and vibrato carry information. The tap behind the back exists but is rare. It's usually a panic pat by the poster-boy and it means "Please sing faster, I'm dying". The stance with one hand behind and one in front doesn't really have a function but looks showy and can trick your mind to go into final gear of beast mode. /e

4402 är bra grejer! Kul att ni håller igång trots pandemin!

[@teodorlontos3294]

Kul att höra! Repar ni på KMH? Jag tycker jag känner igen byggnaden utanför!

[@Rockominhosemiva]

Hope Martin is doing well

[@flundin9381]

This song is from the musical “Anyone Can Whiste” not “Side by Side” which is just a musical revue of Sondheim songs.

[@Ringmasters]

Ah yes you're right. We'll correct that.

[@Ringmasters]

Thanks Mr. Lundin!

[@flundin9381]

Inga problem! ;)

[@SuberDuberUberEvan]

16:16 hahaa!

[@richsinger4447]

That’s not barbershop.

[@MoominJude]

I don’t think they said it was, although it is an Aaron Dale arrangement.
