Membership in the Atlantic Harmony Brigade
The Atlantic Harmony Brigade was formed in 2006. Membership in the AHB
is prestigious, beneficial and fun. Membership authenticates the distinction
of being a serious quartet enthusiast and a singer with the ability to
learn and sing challenging music with comparably ambitious and talented
partners. A member has competed in an adjudicated contest with other brigade
participants at an AHB rally twice and has presented a fabulous show to
the public. Membership is limited in number. Individuals desiring membership
must apply and qualify.
