    Heart of Carolina competed at the Barbershop Harmony Society's International Chorus Competition in Cleveland, Ohio, on July 6, singing two songs from the musical Pippin, arranged by director Bill Adams and directors' team member Larry Triplett. We are very proud that we received our highest scores ever, breaking the 80% threshold for the first time.

    On November 12-13, Heart of Carolina joined the Carolinas District for our first in-person festival/competition in two years. How wonderful it was to sing for a live audience again (even if we wore our masks).

    Our chorus swept most of the awards over the weekend:
    • Mixed chorus: District mixed chorus champs, first place Plateau AA (mid-sized choruses), and overall first place of all choruses present. AND the highest scores the mixed chorus has ever received!
    • Men's chorus: District men's chorus champs and first place Plateau A (small choruses)
    • Soundtrack Quartet (two of whom are HCA members): District quartet champions
    • Impromptu Quartet (all of whom are HCA members): District mixed quartet champions
    • Resting Pitch Face Quartet (two of whom are HCA members): Novice quartet winners
    In addition, the two outgoing champion quartets (Wordplay, 2019 district quartet champions, and Quadrophonic, 2019 district mixed quartet champions) also included members of Heart of Carolina.
