Eight student quartets were declared medalists March 26 at Harmony Explosion! 2022 -- which was 100 percent virtual again this year. This should be the last year for the virtual format.
The eight student quartets participated by creating and submitting one YouTube video of their a cappella performances. Eight Harmony Explosion! judges (four from the Barbershop Harmony Society and four from Sweet Adelines International) evaluated each video for singing quality and overall performance. Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals were awarded.
Medals were awarded to the following student quartets:
GOLD Three and a Half Men, Lawrence High School
SILVER The Fortes, Olathe Northwest High School
SILVER The Four Tenors, Olathe Northwest High School
SILVER The Accidentals, Olathe Northwest High School
GOLD The BCLA Quartet, Mill Valley High School
GOLD The Shirley Tempos, Augusta High School
SILVER Thunderous Harmony, St. James Academy High School
GOLD The Sole Sisters, St. James Academy High School
