This post is merely to preserve a moment in history. On December 9th, 2011 at 11:25am EST, I received the following email:

"It is with great pleasure that I send you this invitiation to compete in the 2012 Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod. Please accept my congratulations. We very much look forward to seeing you in Llangollen. The Music Department will be contacting you separately via e-mail with further details of your competitions."

Dear CUGC,

We're in. We made it. In a few short months, we'll be crossing the pond to compete in the world-renowned Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod. If we win all our competitions, we will be granted the title of "Choir of the World."

Well, ain't a that good news!
