"We are delighted that we have been able to keep registration costs low," said Convention Chairman Don Raymond, "And we hope this encourages every Pan Pacific barbershopper to plan on attending."

"The members of the Sounds of Aloha Chorus have been and will continue to work hard to ensure that each attendee has a memorable barbershop experience," said Raymond.

The competition will take place at the historic Hawaii Theatre (www.hawaiitheatre.com), rich in history with barbershop singing. The Sounds of Aloha was the first act to reopen the restored theater in May 1996 and has held its annual show there ever since. All the seats in the house are good ones.

The convention will feature barbershop singers from New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Alaska, Hawaii, and other parts of the Far Western and Evergreen Districts.
