But How Did They Sound?

A Cappella News reports that the all-male duodectet Chanticleer will return to Richmond, Virginia to concertize, and as a bonus, they will be fully clothed.  Meanwhile, the Vienna Boy Choir performs these days wearing their traditional sailor suits; apparently their Star Trek uniforms have been shelved.  Let's hope they don't get bored with their ears.  Or get trampled by the hippos.

That Canadian site is hilarious. How did you find it, because of the boychoir reference?

I was hoping to see what the infamous "Star Trek" uniforms looked like, since when the news about them came out, I never noticed any pictures. So I simply Googled vienna boy choir star trek and that link popped up fairly high on the list. Sadly, I still don't know what those uniforms looked like, or if they are as goofy as they sound.

What's odd is, there's more than one version of that file. I think the original must have been the one for Australia, which is the one that actually makes sense. (Astralia is not Austria -- get it????) I think our Canadian friends have indulged in a bit of plagiarism.
