Quartet & Chorus Registration closes Feb 24th!
Calling all Carolinas Quartets and Choruses! The 2023 contests are now open for entry! This is the only contest weekend the Carolinas District will have this year so do not miss it. Titles up for grabs for the quartets include District Champion, District Senior Quartet Champion, Novice Champion, NextGen Champion, as well as representatives for International and the International Senior quartet championship. Choruses will be competing for the District Championship, Most Improved, and the various plateau categories as well as for the right to represent the Carolinas District at the 2024 International Convention in July 2024. You can compete for these titles or you can perform for score and evaluation only. All competitors in the formal contests will be able to receive feedback from our certified judges.
New this year! If your chorus does not want to compete in the formal contest, we are offering the Chorus Showcase for a limited number of choruses. This Showcase will take place immediately following the chorus contest on Saturday of the convention. Choruses can perform any and as many songs as they like within an 8-minute time frame. This is a chance to perform your most entertaining songs. Choruses will receive feedback on their overall performance from our qualified District coaching personnel.
To enter the formal contest, go to How to Enter a BHS Contest. The deadline for entry is Friday, February 24th. To enter the Chorus Showcase – or if you have any questions – reach out directly to Steve Curulla.
Activities/Schedule
The convention opens Friday evening with the District Quartet semi-finals followed by Greek Night at the District for tag singing, friendship, and food.
Saturday is jam-packed with the District chorus contest followed by chorus evaluations/coaching, quartet championship finals, Show of Champions, and multiple afterglow hospitality suites.
COVID Reminder
Please do not forget that it is EXPECTED that everyone test for COVID to help protect our singing community. It only takes one singer to infect many others! Thank you!
