On January 30, The Miamians held a Polecat Quartet Competition (a “polecat” song is one that every Barbershopper knows). Members organized themselves in quartets and selected and performed one of the polecat songs from a published list (once a song was selected, no other quartet could sing it). Basically, it was a chance to have fun, sing in a quartet, and for some, try out voice parts they don’t usually sing.
