In bar 113 when the Bb is held in the bass and you change the key signature it looks a bit strange. If sight-sung, it could be interpreted as a B-natural!

The untouchable homage barbershop piece. The unspoken rule with the barbershop community is that nobody can ever perform this piece ever again for competition because it would disrespect the absolute perfection that was done here by Ringmasters. A true tale of history!
