organizations,
the
Extreme Quartetting Harmony Brigades!
Announcing
the birth of THE GREAT LAKES HARMONY BRIGADE!
A member of the eXtreme quartetting Harmony Brigade and the Barbershop Harmony Society. The GLHB performs an annual 100 plus man barbershop chorus show and barbershop quartet competition in the spring in Okemos Michingan.
From the Harmony Brigade site; Wall-to-wall Extreme Quartetting is the number one fun activity at Brigade Rallies. Over a hundred members and guests arrive at weekend Rallies fully prepared to quartet that year's assigned repertoire ... 10 or 12 arrangements specially selected to maximize the challenge and excitement of the weekend. A primary cornerstone of Brigade is fun ... The more, the better! The main activity on Friday night is a one-song quartet contest. Random draws are held both for who's in each quartet and for the song each is to perform in the contest. All Brigade members and registered guests participate in the contest. On Saturday, amid much informal quartetting, the singers gather to form the Brigade Chorus (check it out-a chorus of over 100 quartetters!), the featured act on the Saturday night general admission show. Post-show and pre-pizza, the random-draw quartet finals are held, followed by more informal quartetting 'til the last tenor drops!
