Keep HBT weird.
What did you use for your main hop additions?
It helps to know what kind of character you were going for: fruity, spicy, pine, floral, etc.

I love to dry hop my ambers with around 1-3oz of cascade. But the earlier post raises a very valid question about your other additions.
My top three dry hopping hops are Citra, Cascade, and Nelson Sauvin

My most recent Amber Ale was hopped with Citra and Simcoe and dry hopped with 2 oz each (12 gallon batch post-boil). All my friends enjoyed and was one of my better beers this past year.

I use equal parts Cascade and Willamette. You might continue to the theme by dry hopping with Cascade/Glacier. I don't look for a ton of layered hop complexity from my ambers, but that might be just me.

I've not really familiar with Glacier, but a Cascade dry-hop is pretty good in most cases. Centennial is another one that is hard to screw up.
Cascade and Amarillo are a nice combination too. Not as strong in the graprfruit aroma as Cascade and Citra, more into the orange/grapefruit aroma.
You would do fine using Glacier and Cascade, especially if you have some left over from your brew day. Glacier is a nice hop in ambers and it has some similarities with Willamette, another hop that works well in ambers.
Glacier is supposed to be like an English hop, more herbal and woody. But I pick up some nice citrus notes when I've used it. It would pair really well with cascade hops.
