EVG OFFICIAL REGISTRATION

CONTEST ENTRY TIPS:

  • Make sure that everyone in your group is current with membership dues—and that the membership will not expire before the contest date (Oct. 4-5).

  • If your dues are paid automatically monthly (or yearly), PLEASE make sure that your credit card will not expire before the contest

  • Make sure that your group’s contact person actively monitors the email associated with your group.

  • Make sure your quartet or chorus’s repertoire is listed on your group’s profile page. The repertoire list should contain any song that your group could possibly sing.

  • If you’re planning to sing a custom-arranged chart, make sure that you have PROOF of copyright clearance. If you purchased the chart from a website like http://Arrangeme.com or http://Sheetmusicplus.com , you’ll need a copy of the receipt to add the song to your group’s repertoire list. Sometimes it can take a few months to get copyright clearance so start working on that now!

Like last year, the quartet semifinals will have an afternoon session and an evening session. Make sure that every member of the quartet can attend the afternoon session.

If you didn’t already know, simply filling out the entry form into the contest doesn’t mean you’re actually in the contest. Your entry must be approved by the DRCJ. (Once approved your contact person receives an email acknowledging this.)

CHORUS & QUARTET CONTACTS

Please send an e-mail to deenie0830@gmail.com  once you have entered the contest with how many members of your quartet or chorus need ADA accommodations for either getting from the Hilton to the Newmark or from the stage door to the stage (the stage is 1 floor above the stage door entrance).

2023 HARMONY PLATOON - OUTSTANDING!

Platoon Champions, “Hang Time” (L-R): Todd Dignan (T), Greg Verhappen (L), Jeroen Beudeker (B), Iain Haukka (b)

Second Place Quartet, ““Raging Harmonés” (L-R): Aaron Weller (b), Jason Rogers (L), Todd Dignan (T), Jeroen Beudeker (B).

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.

This year proved to be one of the most successful Harmony Platoons ever thanks to the many participants who came prepared to sing, sing, sing!  

Each of the 37 participants (and 5 judges), 19 of whom were first timers, showed what “Everyone In Harmony” can be.  

It was hard to believe that these pick up quartets had not sung together in the past.  And the best part was hearing those ringing harmonies sustained throughout the rest of the weekend during those in between times!

Congratulations to all our participants, judges, and director (Iain Haukka), for helping to make the event run so smoothly and our sound come together so wonderfully!
