One thing the recent NBC show The Sing Off demonstrated is something
the Harmony Sweepstakes audiences have known for decades =96 a cappella
singing competitions are lots of fun! Well here we go again for now
our 26th year and times could hardly be better for a cappella with a
rising tide of interest and main stream recognition. We have begun the
new year by receiving a flurry of calls and emails from media, groups
and various entertainment business types and the Sweeps will once
again be presenting a showcase and opportunity for vocal harmony
groups.

As well as the exposure and experience the Harmony Sweeps has always
been able to provide there is the added bonus that the Sweeps web site
has become a clearing house for people looking to book an a cappella
group. Regional Google searches for a cappella groups brings up the
relevant Harmony Sweeps page where we have scores of groups listed
with photos, blurbs and links to their web sites. Groups have been
reporting numerous contacts including media appearances and the always
welcome corporate gigs.

There=92s a lot of fun and opportunity to be had for those who like to
sing so we encourage groups to submit an application. Do remember that
groups only need a maximum of 10 minutes of music so if you currently
don=92t have a group there=92s time to get a handful of singing buddies
together and create a short fun set and then come on down and sing for
us. Who knows what might happen..

Groups of up to 8 members of any style are welcome to apply. Entries
are already coming in and we recommend submitting your material soon.
Please submit an online application or contact the director of the
Regional where you would like to perform.
