BHS INternational contest
Barbershop Harmony Society Quartet Competition 2022
Introduction
Given accounting for any unforeseen circumstances, the Barbershop Harmony Society sponsors various annual Quartet competitions. There are competitions that are sponsored by each of the BHS 17 Districts. Then there are two different paths to an International Quartet Competition. The first is by winning a District level competition. The other is for a Quartet to enter an international-level competition that is open to any and all entrants.
International Competition 2022
The BHS sponsored an international Quartet competition at their latest convention in Charlotte, NC in early July 3-10, 2022.
