​Details for the 2023 Saturday Nite Show will be released in the summertime.

The Atlantic Harmony Brigade is a weekend of wall-to-wall, chord-cracking, barbershop quartet singing. ​
If YOU: 
  • Are a strong, independent singer who learns all the notes and words to your part
  • Have a pleasant voice that blends well with others to ring chords
  • Are known for singing in tune (holding pitch)
  • Yearn to sing challenging songs in quartets with like-minded, accomplished singers
  • Prefer to stay up and sing all Saturday night in quartet after quartet rather than go to sleep ​

​Then:
  • The Atlantic Harmony Brigade was made with you in mind!  CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE!!!​

The AHB Rally is a weekend event of non-stop quartetting and switching quartet members on twelve great competition-level songs. Participants sing in dozens of quartet combinations.  If you are not an AHB member, you must apply to be invited to this event that attracts singers from around the globe. 

​
AHB embraces the notion of Everyone in Harmony while singing songs pitched in traditional TTBB keys. We encourage any members of the Barbershop Harmony Society, Sweet Adelines, Harmony Incorporated or Mixed Barbershop Harmony Association who meet the criteria noted above to apply like any other attendee and fully participate in the weekend.

Every year, participants receive their music and high quality part-dominant learning tracks for the songs to be used in the Rally as soon as registration is open, they are approved and their deposit received.  People count on each other to be 100% prepared, with all the notes, words, and interpretations fully memorized before the Rally begins.  

The cost for the weekend is all-inclusive.  For 2023, the cost of $329 covers registration fees, double occupancy hotel accommodations at the Brandywine Plaza Hotel, meals, and all the learning materials. 

Brigade Activities
Quartet Contest: There is a good-natured, quartet competition (with randomly selected quartet members and randomly selected songs from those provided).
Dance Card:  All participant receive a "Dance Card" with the names and voice parts of all other participants.  The participants use these electronic web-based dance cards to document everyone they sing with.  Attendees that sing with all the other participants receive special recognition. 
The Big Show:  We will be producing the Big Saturday Night show with our guest quartet as in previous years.   
Informal Quartetting:  If you love singing in quartets and enjoy trying various combinations of voices, this is for you.  The heart of the Brigade is hours and hours of informal quartetting.  Since everyone knows all  the designated  (12) championship style arrangements cold, there's no problem finding lots of songs to sing.  The AHB is non-stop quartet singing from Friday to Sunday morning. They only time you'll want to stop is to eat!  Our attendees consistently say that their least favorite activity of the weekend is sleeping! 
The Masters Class: Spend an hour with our Guest Quartet, learning tips and how-to's, and getting the low down on some barbershop history or just hearing some great stories.
Scholarships:  A number of full scholarships are available each year for talented young vocalists. Barbershop experience is helpful, but not required. Scholarship applications are available until April 15, 2023.
