HI-STORY! Congratulations to Seaside A Cappella!
Seaside A Cappella made history at the Irish Association of Barbershop Singers (IABS) Convention and Contest in Killarney, Ireland, on October 11, bringing home the International Gold Medal! With 53 singers on stage, and quartet Four Shore, we proudly represented Harmony, Inc. and our Area 1 community. Our chorus performance was a true celebration of harmony across generations, from our beloved Betty (age 93) to our youngest member, Wren (age 8), who made history as the youngest singer ever to win gold at the event.
As the first Harmony, Inc. chorus ever to compete at this international event, our participation inspired the Irish Association of Barbershop Singers to make a historic change to its eligibility rules. Previously, everyone on stage for international contests, including Musical Directors, had to be members in good standing of the Barbershop Harmony Society (BHS), Sweet Adelines, or in a BHS Alliance organization that has an affiliation with BHS. When Seaside A Cappella expressed interest in the convention, hoping simply to sing and share our music on the international stage, the IABS made the groundbreaking decision to amend its rules to include Harmony, Inc. members.
