Gay Chorus Super Bowl Challenge

The Boston Gay Men’s Chorus has issued a Super Bowl challenge to the Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus. If the New England Patriots defeat the Philadelphia Eagles in the February 4th Super Bowl in Minneapolis the Philadelphia Chorus will perform “Please Come to Boston” by Dave Loggins for the BGMC YouTube Channel. If the Eagles are victorious BGMC will perform “Philadelphia Freedom” & make it available online. Craig Coogan BGMC Executive Director stated, “This is a friendly wager, but we’re taking it seriously. The Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus is a talented ensemble, but our football team is better than theirs.” Joseph Buches, Artistic Director of The Philadelphia Men’s Chorus concluded, “We were delighted to accept this challenge from the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus. Nick Foles is young & healthy, unlike New England’s quarterback, whose name escapes me. We’re confident that we’ll emerge the winner of this contest.” Both the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus & the Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus are members are GALA Choruses. GALA Choruses leads the North American LGBT choral movement with more than 190 member choruses. GALA is dedicated to helping choruses become more effective, both artistically & administratively.
