Area 5 is hitting the Beach for Contest!



Area 5 – Tropical Beach Party May 23-25

Members of Area 5 are making their last minute preparations for a Beach Party!  There will be 13 Quartets and 13 (!) Choruses taking the stage to share their music with enthusiastic audiences!  Of course, no convention is complete without awesome educational opportunities, luminaries from the HI Judging community will share their knowledge in classes ranging from Authenticity to Goal Setting to Membership Growth to Musicality.  Lots of music and education are on tap, including Ukelele Moonglow songs!  Wishing our Area 5 friends a wonderful time at the beach!

Tempe Trail: The Path to Harmony Fest West

Legend tells of a festival in the far west, a place where all barbershop singers can come together in harmony. In this storied place, singers of all affiliations are welcome to take the stage, to learn from the oracles of the hobby, and to sing a tag together under the Arizona moon. 

We invite you to join us July 10-13 in Tempe Arizona for Harmony Inc.’s inaugural Harmony Fest!  Come for the contests, come for the education or come just to support Harmony Inc.’s expansion project!  The journey will be worth it!
