Information for Past Seniors Quartet Champions
Like all members of the Barbershop Harmony Society, competing quartets sing as a hobby. In the Seniors competition, no member of any competing quartet may be younger than 55, and the cumulative age of the quartet must be 240 years or more. They are judged by a panel of two judges in each of three categories; music, presentation and singing.
To compete in the Seniors Quartet Contest,
- all singers must be at least 55 years old, and
- cumulative total of ages of quartet members must be at least 240 years.
