author: Mark Axelrod, editor of "Blue Chip Chatter," Teaneck, NJ.

QUESTIONS:

1- Name all the M-AD choruses that took the top spot in international competition. For extra credit, name the year(s) in which the choruses won.

Note: in all five questions in this quiz, I am looking for the name of the chapter, not the name of the chorus. Teaneck, NJ, for example (wouldn't it be lover-lee), not the Blue Chip Chorus.
