What is a Harmony Brigade?

A brigade is a fun-filled weekend of non-stop quartet singing and quartet switching. Participants learn a common repertoire of challenging songs arranged in the barbershop style and arrive fully prepared and ready to sing with whoever asks all weekend long. Each participant receives a "dance card" upon arrival and will, over the course of the weekend, attempt to sing with EVERY participant in quartet formation.



The 2018 event, which will be held August 10-12 at the Dulles Airport Holiday Inn in Northern Virginia, also includes 2 rounds of competition where participants are assigned to a quartet by random draw and sing songs assigned from the Brigade repertoire (also assigned by random draw), performances at several senior living facilities near the hotel, and a Saturday night show featuring our top 3 contest medalists & other ensembles formed from the Brigade ranks as well as a guest artist, Class Ring quartet.
