Quartets will sing two songs, a cappella, arranged in the Barbershop (close harmony) style.  Quartets will be judged on music, delivery and singing (essentially singing the style and using appropriate arrangements and lyrics), delivering the song with believability and enthusiasm, and singing with good technique (maintaining pitch and tuning chords).  There will be a separate division for males and females.
