The Harmony Sweepstakes, a national competition of a-cappella groups of various kinds, has finalized a deal with Sony Pictures Television to create a reality show based on the competition.
Supposedly everyone involved has promised that the actual competition won't be affected, and it will just be a behind-the-scenes documentary kind of thing, but knowing the track record of "reality" shows, and especially the Clash of the Choirs show from last fall, it could be worrisome. I attend the Harmony Sweeps every year, and it's a terrific show, and I'd hate to see it wrecked by some short-sighted TV producer who couldn't care less about music.
