Hobart Festival Success & Signature Quartet in Sydney
Date Posted: Wed, 23 Oct 2019
|
What a great time we had in Hobart! The 2019 Barbershop Harmony Festival was a resounding success for us in many ways. After taking a year off by choosing not to compete at the 2018 Adelaide Convention, it was a real thrill for the chorus to take to the contest stage at Wrest Point as the first competitor of the day and present our “Fool” package to such a welcoming audience. We are absolutely delighted with our 4th Placing in the BHA National Chorus Contest and extremely appreciative of the glowing feedback we received from the judges and so many of our fellow barbershoppers after our performance.

Perth 2013: What a great Convention!
Date Posted: Sun, 20 Oct 2013
| What a great week of barbershop we've all just enjoyed with the Perth Convention and Harmony College! Congratulations to all the quartets who performed last week and to our fellow competitors in the Chorus contest - particularly the 2013 champions Vocal Evolution - and the other medalists, the Festival Statesmen and Sound Connection. A big "thank you" to the Perth 2013 Convention Committee, Vocal Evolution and Barbershop Harmony Australia for putting on such a memorable, well-organised and enjoyable Convention and Harmony College. In terms of total points awarded, Sydney Harmony's score of 70.4% av - earned in the toughest BHA competition ever - is our best national contest result since 2005! Way to go guys! | |
