The Ontario District is one of the seventeen districts of the Barbershop Harmony Society throughout the United States and Canada, and is the only all-Canadian district. It is committed to serving and supporting its 33 barbershop chapters, over 60 quartets, and over 1200 members throughout Ontario, and it is committed to promoting the Society's mission of bringing men together in fellowship and harmony to enrich lives through singing. Member choruses and quartets are encouraged to perform throughout their communities in support of worthwhile civic, cultural, educational, and charitable endeavors.
Ontario is proud to not only be hosting this years International Barbershop Convention for the first time in 50 years, but also to have qualified more quartets that ever before in our history. Here's a look at the four quartets, two collegiate quartets, and the chorus representing our district in competition this July.
Chameleon
Rubicon
Quantum
After being together for 5 months and also being a long distance quartet, Quantum was overjoyed to qualify for the international convention in Toronto this July. The fact that this is a "home" convention and that it is also the 75th anniversary of BHS is a phenomenal circumstance that makes our first time on international stage significantly more special.
We are also honoured to share the stage with Chameleon, Rubicon, Shaken Not Stirred, ‘Shoptimus Prime & Pitch, Please! We wish them the best.
Shaken Not Stirred
'Shoptimus Prime
'Shoptimus Prime is thrilled to have qualified for the International Collegiate Quartet Contest for our second year in a row. Since our 10th place finish in last year's contest we've had quite a year performing on chapter shows, helping lead barbershop workshops and camps, and winning the Ontario District Quartet Contest in October. We would like to thank the district for the overwhelming support that 'Shoptimus Prime quartet has recieved since we formed two years ago. We can't wait to help welcome the other collegiate competitors and all convention guests when the convention returns to the Ontario District this summer. Let's bust a chord!
Pitch, Please
