Westminster Fantasy Quartet - This is the Moment

[@hastosing]

10 quartet gold medals on that stage, amazing! Wish I could've seen this.

[@borisvandruff7532]

hastosing And now we’re up to 12!

[@shanefrantz]

@@borisvandruff7532 13 and counting :o

[@BillMiller55]

Waves of goosebumps, good grief. Whew. I'm not sure when but at some point I realized my mouth was hanging open!

[@vanceperry]

That last chord with those icons...amazing!!

[@springer331]

I'm so jealous of the baritone. I know he's like the greatest baritone/lead ever, but his range is unbelievable. I could never in a million years sound that good on the tag at the end. Unbelievable.

[@rogerdotlee]

You know, it's a shame Tony D sings such a good Lead. He makes a stellar, and I do mean STELLAR baritone.

[@Jackman24601]

Because he's probably the best baritone in barbershop, he won two gold medals on bari.

[@borisvandruff7532]

My favorite tag of all time.

[@IvoryRose123]

Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your amazing talent guys.

[@StoryVision889]

Hallelujah. It is a great harmony.

[@Veggieman87]

Beautiful.

[@Midnightryder0802]

I wonder sometimes if Joe actually thinks about which gold medal to wear for a performance. I mean he has 4, each one has to have equal appearance time right?

[@LucasRMend]

HOLY CRAP this is so beatiful!!!

[@larrywomac8404]

Absolutely love this song!!!

[@rexy84]

i was just talking to mike slamka this weekend at the PIO district comp.

[@SharpJSN1]

after the first ten seconds i was hooked

[@vanceperry]

Amazing! Goosebumps!!

[@TylerPandaConley]

HOLY SHNARF TONY..THAT "A" IN CHEST

[@SamDollins]

Last chord melted my face.

[@PianoFatso]

These guys are very good but for all of you who think they are the absolute best, take a look around KZbin for more barbershop. There are some astonishly good performances ( usually from the USA! ) which are amazing. Happy hunting!

[@lescudworth6504]

what a song what a quartet wow!

[@supersingerevan]

@65dirt They didn't "break up". They were brought together for this performance only.

[@AlexSanc17]

They're incredible. Tony's third at the end was awesome. I've been trying to learn this tag from ages. does anyone know it?

[@Barranquilla2013]

here in this link you can buy the learning tracks of this song : services.codeeta.com/widget/v3/47743?

[@lukeedy]

@alex Sanctuary why did we not sing this!!!!

[@LilKroog]

@myself462 Look up the video Blue Skies by Keepsake. Wait until the end, and hear Tony's post. He sang Bari in Keepsake.

[@Running_in_spite]

I love watching joe's face during the tag! hahaha

[@go10899]

Joe is an amazing lead, and one of the best that have ever been in the society, but Mike Slamka is by far my favorite!

[@Linkthe3rd]

The point is that this lead has three International gold medals...

[@Dustin1047]

Linkthe3rd Four.

[@tenorjoe]

dude, do you spend all day bad mouthing quartets and quartetters? this guy has 3 gold medals. how many do you have?

[@DannyFong]

I want this arrangement haha.. actually I want all of your transcriptions lol ^^

[@nicoinvestigators]

No, you're a bit wrong: actually Tony de Rosa appears in this quartet as he is singing the baritone part. "Max Q" members not in this video are Greg Clancy (ten) and Gary Lewis (barit). Maybe you are confused as Tony de Rosa sings the lead part in "Max Q", however he is considered the best baritone from his performing at "Platinum" and "Keepsake" quartets.

[@seyboo52]

@springer331 Maybe you should check out Tim Waruk's (sp) 9 octave clip before you go spouting off on range. Not slamming DeRosa at all, he's a monster!

[@CDtrumpet5]

@J999ACK 2 of the members are from the maxQ

[@jibcraip]

wow quite impressive !!

[@65dirt]

I don't know why they broke up but the MaxQ group beats this group to pieces.

[@acapellaman129]

@ChrisisBass13 Because that was the part he sang with his previous Gold Medal winning quartets. While he is an amazing Lead, he's sublime as Baritone.

[@jhernandez16]

completely agree

[@jhill74893]

fabulous

[@stevedee32]

Yes - Tony DeRosa

[@spcbass]

yea. I'm not sure if it's because I've listened to the acoustix version thousands of times, but it's just not the same. They are still amazing though :)

[@jibcraip]

Excellent...I wish the lead was the one from Acoustix though (his voice his stronger in the low register) the tag is awesome ! on of my favorite

[@jmittsinger]

@myself462 N00b... LOL... Tony's first gold medal was on baritone when he was 18... LOL

[@NikoPorter]

Musical Mitts - 19*

[@LtsSng1]

Sorry who is the tenor? I sang with Joe years ago Interstate rivals time (ok in a basement ). In any case acoustic doesn't need JOE C to make this song sound good.

[@MSA03]

I know you commented this 7 years ago, but if you haven't found out yet the tenor is Tim Waurick, tenor of the 2006 international champions Vocal Spectrum. He's also known for his learning track buisness TimTracks.

[@Wiener-Doo]

Love me some Tony D!

[@sgtsonny]

The bass and baritone are Max Q members, but Joe Connelly (Lead) never sang with Max Q. He sang lead in Interstate Rivals, Keepsake and PLATINUM and Tim Waurick (Tenor) sings with Vocal Spectrum. So you're missing Greg Clancy and Tony DeRosa to form Max Q. In this formation however, you get the best of today's barbershop!

[@Jakeroo767]

Tony DeRosa is in MaxQ he sings lead in it. Here he is singing baritone

[@sgtsonny]

@@Jakeroo767 I know :). I started my message comment with "The bass and baritone are Max Q members" :)

[@Jakeroo767]

@@sgtsonny sorry I was typing this late at night lmao. Also I am a huge fan of your tag of the months.

[@sgtsonny]

@@Jakeroo767 Hahaha thanks so much, man!

[@hampus7474]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@sgtsonnyI think Jake is pointing out the discrepancy at the end of your comment when you said that “you’re only missing Greg Clancy and Tony DeRosa to form MaxQ” when it should be Gary Lewis instead of Tony. Still respect for replying 12 years after the initial post though. That’s ‘almost’ as long as my entire life haha. Edit: Holy, didn’t realize who I was replying to. Love your videos dude!😊

[@Deutschland1093]

Yes, DeRosa !! 3:12 than end

[@Drummertime0707]

does anybody know where i can get sheet music for this???

[@Wiener-Doo]

Damn. ❤️

[@jhernandez16]

Hey man I'm not the only one who has this opinion. Look at all the comments on this page.

[@bshopbug]

@myself462 I don't think anyone, but you, has ever asked the question, "Why is Tony DeRosa singing baritone?" I think you need to listen to a little Keepsake and PLATINUM. You'll find your answer. I don't mean to sound rude. I just couldn't believe it.

[@Wiener-Doo]

Oh you mean Gary Lewis. I really love Max Q!

[@kitzmiller100786]

Don't worry bout it, man.

[@Wiener-Doo]

Tim Waurick from VS.

[@laruenm95]

isnt the baritone in this video now the lead for max Q?

[@DKTHOMP93]

@BHS2011able Interstate Rivals. Keepsake. Platinum. Old School.

[@PrimalHunter]

i just want to start by saying that these guys are awesome! as individuals, they are the best at what they do, and in their quartets in the past, they have shined, but in this one, i don't know what it is, but it just doesn't sound right. it may just be that their blend is off. i know that that is why this is a fantasy quartet, but does anyone understand what i mean?

[@Guthrief87]

Where abouts on the page? I can't seem to find it! G

[@go10899]

@sephiroth I'm sure if they were actually given time to work together over a larger period of time they would blend better and it WOULD work. But IMO there could have been a better fantasy quartet.

[@guitarherokevin]

dude...thats joe connelly your talking about...

[@DKTHOMP93]

@Rubano5428 make that 4 medals now Ralph :)

[@keithpennington8259]

Tony is the best

[@fujunction]

so are they actually gonna be a quartet now?

[@davidhooper9466]

Nope...fantasy quartet. One shot, one show.

[@Deutschland1093]

I think Tony sings better baritone. Gary sings very good tenor. Joe sings great but he is sometimes too loud. Jeffs low notes are great. I love Tonys Baritone-overtones. Best off. This Quartet have to sing in the BHS Conventions!!

[@johnisselhardt2646]

There is no Gary singing tenor. That's Tim, the greatest tenor EVER

[@pkingsleyisback]

We're not criticizing him like we can do better, we're saying Rick can :D

[@1stCZbarbershopper]

I'm sorry I'm a bass singer when I hear the tag and Tony's "ALL"!

[@brax26]

My only bummer with this recording is that its nowhere near the qulaity of the Acoustix version.Its good,no doubt,but not Acoustix great

[@jibcraip]

I've transcribed the whole song if you want it just em@il me

[@Icyveins906]

@applesauc3 All four do XD

[@Wiener-Doo]

Gary who?

[@tenorjoe]

yeah, i dont think they have any gold medals either. and they probably aren't a certified barbershop judges.

[@luisr267]

i like better with the accoustix

[@jayliminator]

please don't say holly derosa. he might start to believe it. :S

[@gordonice]

haha, so much sound. four loudest people ever. you can hardly hear tim, heh

[@jayliminator]

shhhh!!! or u won't mbe able to hear them.

[@jhernandez16]

so...whats ur point? hes not flawless.

[@pkingsleyisback]

I love Joe, he's a fantastic singer, but having just come from listening to Rick...meh...he just sounds...thin...

[@BstRedSox23]

I agree...Tony would be much better on the lead!

[@Dustin1047]

BstRedSox23 He’s not better than the best lead in the history of barbershop!

[@jhernandez16]

they need to switch up a lead. im not really a fan. His range is a little limiting for a lead.

[@Dustin1047]

J. Hernandez Four gold medals. Sure, Joe is lame.
