A Chronological History of eXtreme Quartetting

This is the chronological history of the Association of eXtreme Quartetting™ Harmony Brigades and shows which songs were sung at each Brigade Rally. The list is sorted in ascending order by year, then by the month an individual brigade is held, then by the CD track # (or alphabetically if there are no CD track #'s). The default view is all years, all brigades. Pressing the Reset button will return to the default view.

Be warned that it is possible to select a year/brigade combination that will return no data because that particular brigade was not held that year.  

The data for the current year will be added once every brigade has published their song selection for that year. This should happen sometime in June or July each year. Sorry guys, no spoilers here!

Click on the Song ID Number to see details about the song such as who arranged it, who recorded the learning tracks, which brigades sang the song, etc. 

The Ontario Brigade only happened once in 2011 and wasn't truly a part of the association of brigades. The data is included here as a memorial to the man behind the event, my friend, Dan Bezaire.

Covid-19 Notice: Due to the pandemic the following brigade rallies were not held:

2020: Only the NCHB, NPHB, LSHB, and UKHB rallies were held. All others were canceled.

2021: The UKHB and EHB were held virtually. All others were canceled. This year marked the birth of the Electronic Dance Card app that many brigades are now using.
