Ambassador Awards
Each Harmony Brigade has an annual award, selected by the Rally attendees, to recognize the man or woman that they most enjoyed singing with at their Rally. The award is given to the one person that participants voted to be eXtremely well prepared, the most fun to sing with, and true to the eXtreme Quartetting spirit.
