Are you ready for March Madness?!

Celebrate the NCAA Tournament barbershop-style this year! Our Song of the Week is an original tune titled "Give Me a Basketball", written by woodshedder extraordinaire, barbershop ambassador, and all around great guy, Paul Olguin. Clever and fun, this song is easy to learn and perfect for an impromptu halftime performance while watching the games with your friends. If you love basketball AND barbershop, this song is for you!

SING YOUR FACE OFF

Harmony Platoon, assemble!  (In Nashville, of course)

If you'd like to do less sitting and more singing at conventions, then Harmony Platoon will make your barbershop dreams come true! Your $25 registration gets you access to five great songs with learning tracks and unlimited combinations of fellow singers. With 4 separate luck-of-the-draw opportunities for a little friendly competition, you'll be able to choose a meet-up (or several) that fits your convention schedule. Plus, your Platoon lanyard will help you find pals for impromptu harmonizing all week long, no matter where you are.
GET SMART
Voices of Gotham stages the ultimate barbershop "TED Talk
" lecture series
Unlike your usual barbershop event, this lecture/concert series is more informative of the barbershop style and its evolution over the years. Over two days, attendees get a crash course on barbershop and its relevance in today's society. Featuring legendary barbershop historian Dr. David Wright and live demonstrations from Da Capo and Voices of Gotham, this event hopes to educate, entertain, and enlighten.
