Mission
The 1700 artist/members of the Mid-Atlantic District of the Barbershop Harmony Society bring joy to the lives of those we touch. The District brings together people of all ages and experience, cultivates extraordinary singing and showmanship, promotes fellowship and camaraderie, and makes a difference in people's lives. Through public performance, vocal instruction, support of music education at all age levels in communities from New York to Virginia, we are making the music that's making a difference.
Program accomplishments

In 2025 around 1100 friends, family and fans attended these conventions. The District qualified five choruses and 12 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.Expenses $92,929 · revenue $92,304

Students, including music educators, directors, arrangers and enthusiasts, learn singing, quarteting, composition, arranging, show production and directors sharpen their directing skills. This year, twelve HCE full scholarships were provided to music educators. Partial scholarships were provided to six 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.
