About this Event

Harmony College Midwest is March 20-21, 2026 at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Bloomington, IL and registration is open! We have a limited capacity and room block, so register ASAP to ensure you can attend.

The head clinician is Melody Hine!

Melody Hine has been singing barbershop in various quartets and choruses since she was 14. She earned her music education degree from the University of Georgia, and after that spent a year working for Disney World and Universal Studios. She then taught middle school chorus for seven years before completing her master’s degree in Education Policy. She currently works as a full-time arranger, coach and director.

Melody is proud to be a member of Harmony Incorporated, Sweet Adelines International and the Barbershop Harmony Society. Her roles currently include certified BHS Music Judge as well as Musical Director of Parkside Melody, the upper voices ensemble of the Hershey Chapter of the BHS. She also sings baritone in the Song of Atlanta Show Chorus and was a member of the 2019 HI Harmony Queens, Hot Pursuit. Melody loves arranging and coaching groups of all levels, and she especially enjoys being a part of barbershop youth events.

She’ll teach classes, coach quartets, lead our HCM chorus, and more!


And our headliner quartet is 2025 International Silver Medalists: Gimme Four!

We are so excited to host this exceptional group of individuals! Gimme Four is an international silver medalist and CARA Award-winning barbershop quartet based in Caldwell, New Jersey. Paul, Dave, Will, and Joe have been singing together since 2011. The quartet was formed out of a mutual love for barbershop harmony, friendship, and a burning desire to reach the highest level possible. Gimme Four has had the tremendous privilege of spending the last decade touring the country competing, performing, teaching, and making lifelong friends. They’ll both perform for us on the evening show and work with quartets during the day.

More news on additional faculty and event schedules will be released soon.


Come and join in for a great time!
