In 2024 around 1300 friends, family and fans attended these conventions. The District qualified five choruses and 9 quartets for international competition. Contests are adjudicated by certified judges who donate their time and effort to evaluate the artists and help them improve their artistry. After the contest, the judges provide feedback and coaching to the competitors, which is a significant component of the contest experience. 76632 17443 41094 Music Education: Dozens of highly qualified volunteers conduct educational programs targeted at all age levels. The largest program, Harmony College East (HCE), offering more than 40 classes and seminars during a 3-day weekend event attended by more than 170 men and women of all ages. Students, including music educators, directors, arrangers and enthusiasts, learn singing, quarteting, composition, arranging, show production and directors sharpen their directing skills. This year, seven HCE full scholarships were provided to music educators. Partial scholarships were provided to five high achieving quartets preparing for the BHS International Convention. Coaching support was provided through the year to quartets and chapter choruses through a grant program that offsets a portion of the coach's expenses. The District also supports the certification of judges for contests. In 2024, five participants attended certification training. The District has a strong youth barbershop program that encourages youth quartets and ensembles through music educator engagement, coaching and Youth Adjudications. For 2024, the District provided support for a harmony explosion event and for a youth chorus to attend the BHS annual international youth festival. 4000 4000 0 Competitor Support: The District supports its high-achieving quartets and choruses that compete at the international level.
