Glee-ks in da house

Thanks to Choralnet for sharing this great article on the resurgence of interest in glee club singing due in part to the popularity of the TV show Glee. All I can say is that Fox television had better move the show back to 9PM on Tuesdays so I can watch it. I had a near-rebellion last night at 8PM! Or else we'll have to bring a TV into the rehearsal room. Drop a note in the comm-box with your glee club pedigree!
