Spots for HCM filling fast – register today

Harmony College Midwest is March 21-22, 2025 at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Bloomington, IL and registration is open! We have a limited capacity and room block, so register ASAP to ensure you can attend.

The guest clinician is Patrick McAlexander! And the headliner quartet is 2018 International Champions After Hours, with Eric Dalbey from Vocal Spectrum subbing on lead!

Patrick is a lifelong barbershopper, an exceptional arranger, and music judge. He previously served as assistant director and still serves as an in-house arranger for the 2022 International Chorus Champions, Music City Chorus. Since 2023, Patrick has served as the director of Space City Sound, a Top 10 international chorus from Houston, TX. He also directs the 2024 Most Improved Chorus, the Houston Tidelanders. He’ll teach classes, coach quartets, lead our HCM chorus, and more!

Our hometown heroes, After Hours, earned the gold in 2018, and at HCM they’ll have Eric Dalbey of Vocal Spectrum on lead, filling in for Drew Ochoa.

More news on additional faculty and event schedules will be released soon. Register for HCM 2025 today!

Just $85 for an individual & $325 for a quartet. Quartet members don’t need an individual registration; the quartet registration covers the foursome.

Register for a room at the DoubleTree.

Hurry — the hotel room block with discounted rate will be released on 3/1/25.
