“How Sweet the Sound” organizers asked choirs from across the country to audition via a DVD performance. Judges chose eight choirs — four of 35 members or fewer, and four of 36 members and up — to perform. During the regional contests, each choir sings one song, and a panel of three judges chooses the best small choir, the best large choir and an overall winner in each region. There’s also a people’s choice winner, selected by text messages from the audience.
