Getting a group of 40, 50, or even 100 men to sing together in harmony is quite incredible. The best of the best will meet in Orlando to represent their home districts and put on a great show. The trip to BHS International is a long road with qualifying contests taking place the previous calendar year. Qualifying here is a little different from the quartet contest as the competitors represent in one of three ways: 

• One (1) representative from each of the 17 BHS Districts
• Ten (10) wildcard choruses, selected based on their overall ranking
• One (1) or more affiliate choruses, invited directly by the BHS CEO

This year’s competition will feature 30 choruses, plus a mic-test set by THX of Sunshine District, and a swan song set by outgoing champions, Masters of Harmony from Far Western District.
