2026 Southern Divisions Convention

Join us for the 2026 FWD Southern Divisions Convention where will be returning once again to the fabulous Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside, California. Get ready for a day filled with incredible music, exciting performances, and unforgettable memories. Whether you're a seasoned barbershop enthusiast or simply enjoy harmonious melodies, this convention is perfect for everyone.

So mark your calendars and join us at the Southern Divisions Convention for an unforgettable weekend of music and camaraderie. We can't wait to see you there!

For each division we will award Quartet and Chorus champions, Novice and Senior Quartet champions, Plateau A/AA/AAA Chorus champions; Youth and Super Seniors Quartets can compete at this event, but awards for these classifications will not be given until all five FWD division contests have completed. Additionally, this event will be used to qualify quartets and choruses for the Fall District contests coming up in October.

We always welcome groups that would like to perform but are not interested in the contest. Our audiences are the best around, and our judges are there to help every group achieve its goals. Please join us at the event most convenient for you: we would love to see you!

All events are open to men’s, women’s, & mixed quartets/choruses.
