About
Prior to 2004, the District Seniors Quartet Contest usually takes place in the fall, and is often combined with the International Senior Quartet Qualifier.
In 2004, the switch was made for the District Seniors Quartet Contest to take place during the spring convention. The International Senior Quartet Qualifier remains during the fall convention.
At contest time, all four singers must be members in good standing of both the Barbershop Harmony Society and the Pioneer District, and the quartet name and personnel registered with the Society.
In addition, quartets in the Seniors category must consist of four singers at least 55 years old, with a combined total of at least 240 years of age.
