The last two years has felt like a long time since Pittsburgh '15, but Lockout is very excited to be heading to Las Vegas to appear in the BHS international quartet contest for our 2nd time. And we're just as excited to be sharing this honour with current BHA champs, Blindside, which means this will be the first time BHA has had 2 quartets on the big stage!

We are really proud to be competing with a couple of our own arrangements as well. Arrangements that nobody outside Western Region has ever heard before. Stefan and Alex have done some amazing work and we can’t wait for you to hear it.

A lot will be going on for us while in Vegas with Alex judging the Youth Barbershop Quartet Contest and once again co-hosting the webcast, Ali and his fiancé Mel trying to hit as many Vegas shows as they can in and around the contest sessions, and Ash running around with Richard Reeve trying to get interviews and sound bites for their Good Morning BHA podcast. All of this while trying to sing any and everywhere for any and everyone, and in honour of getting to sing in her theatre, Alex may have arranged us a Britney Spears song to have some fun with. If you don't see or hear that somewhere in Vegas, it's safe to say you will in Sydney.

Thank you for letting us be one of your representatives.

Ash, Ali, Alex and Stefan.
