The Ambassadors Of Harmony Will Compete At The “Big Show” In Nashville

Members of the Ambassadors of Harmony chorus are putting the final polish on their performance this week before they depart for the Barbershop Harmony Society’s 70th Annual Convention and chorus competition in Nashville, Tenn.

The group of 164 singers will compete July 4 in Nashville against 28 other choruses from throughout the U.S., Germany and Sweden. There are two competition sessions, with the final showdown in the evening to be named the “best of the best” in barbershop harmony.

A panel of 15 certified judges, whose expertise covers every aspect of barbershop harmony, will rate the strengths and weaknesses of the chorus in three categories: singing, presentation and music.

The event can be viewed via webcast. For more information, see

The Ambassadors of Harmony have been top five medalists in this annual competition 11 times, including winning the Championship Gold Medal in 2004, and tying for first place last year and being awarded the Silver Medal according to BHS tie breaking rules.
