According to a Facebook post from a high school choarl teacher in PA over a year ago, the arrangements are not released, nor do they plan to release them. Too bad, I would love to sing some of them.
Here's the original post & reply on FB:

Count me in for a another disappointed viewer in Thomas' camp. But I take the view that any good publicity is great publicity, so I'm glad to know that the show is being shown, and I will watch all the episodes.
I am disappointed - but I can understand why it was done - that the pro... |

Oh, btw, this may not be the place for it, and i don't know if the news has already been posted, but The Sing Off has been approved for (and already held auditions for) its second season. That word came from Deke, who was involved in the auditions process (judging, I think).

| As John Howell said, it would really help to know what sort of contest this is. BHS is very different from IHSCA.
I would add CHing a RIng Chaw by Copland and La Pastorella by Schubert to the list, and these are some contemporary favorites:

| May I recommend the Yale Glee Club series "De Animals a-Comin"?? Fairly easy but lots of fun. Humble, from the same series, is also a good number.
Boosey & Hawkes used to have a TTBB version of Copland's Ching-a-rung-chaw. but it may be out of print.
Best of luck,

| I've got a TTBB arrangement of "If you've Only Got A Moustache" someplace in my files. I'm sure it's out of print, and I don't remember the arranger, but I coudl find it and send a photocp[y for research purposes if you want.

I'm de-lurking to see if I can get some pointers to sources for information on MIXED VOICE reconstruction or Victorian singing societies.

Though it is all men in the movie, I re-arranged it for mixed voices. This was for a company choir, and they liked... |
