RMD Fall Convention 2022

Description

Our Rocky Mountain District Fall 2022 Convention and Contest will be in Denver, October 7-8, at the Hyatt Regency in the Denver Tech Center. This year’s Fall Convention will be more than a contest! There will be tag corners, polecat halls, a massed sing, and a harmony platoon. The Hyatt Regency is large enough to accommodate everyone who can attend, in a single building, and we look forward to the opportunity to open our performances to the many Barbershop fans in the immediate Denver area, since it has been many years since our convention was in Denver. Moreover, at $119 per night for standard double rooms, our special convention hotel rate is one of the lowest we’ve had in many years.
