We’re also thrilled to congratulate Rhapsody, our highest scoring senior quartet from the collective FWD division contests, on receiving an immediate invite to Gold Rush. We can’t wait to have you!
Here’s what you can expect:

Booking link and hotel info coming soon.

This weekend is more than a coaching event, it’s a chance to achieve greatness with some of the best coaches in the society before heading into the FWD Fall Contest in Fresno. Our mission is simple: The AFWDC aims to build better singers, better performers, and stronger bonds as a Far Western District. We also aim to party like rockstars but we all already knew that right?!
More information to follow. Stay tuned up!
