WELCOME TO
I’m thrilled that you can join us for what I believe will be
remembered as one of several milestone conventions in
our history! Our inauspicious start began 80 years ago as an
inward-facing group of men who gathered to sing for their
own personal enjoyment.
We grew over the next two decades but only began outreach
efforts to impact lives other than our own in 1959, when we
established Harmony Foundation. We continued to focus our
charitable efforts externally by supporting therapy for autistic
youth until the late 1990s, and only began our “modern”
journey circa 2003 with Harmony Foundation supporting
Society singing programs such as the program that has grown
into the wildly successful Youth Chorus Festival, noted for
facilitating truly intergenerational singing.
Fast forward to 2017, when more than two years of member feedback and strategic planning
efforts culminated in the announcement of our new vision, “Everyone in Harmony.” Since
adopting the Everyone in Harmony vision, the Society Board and Harmony Hall staff have been
working diligently to design and begin implementation of programs aligned to the vision.
I’ve been awestruck by the depth of the discussions since 2016 surrounding Everyone in
Harmony, both at the Board level and in one-on-one meetings with members. I was proud
to stand with Marty representing Society management last summer in the Rainbow Room as
we committed that the vision Everyone in Harmony includes everyone. The vision has brought
home to me the fact that singing knows no social, racial, or gender boundaries. What matters
is that we welcome everyone who wants to sing in harmony.
While we continue our commitment to preserve the all-male singing experience for those
who prefer it, we’re now pleased to also support women’s and mixed barbershop singing, all
to enable and support barbershop singing in communities around the world, with a goal of
facilitating lifelong singing everywhere. This week, as we continue down the path to Everyone
in Harmony, we’re excited to offer membership at large in the Barbershop Harmony Society to
women, for the first time in our history!
These are exciting times for all of us. I believe we’re at the beginning of an amazing path
forward and I’m so glad you’re here to participate!

Determining Relative Rank
Music
Music is defined as the song and arrangement, as performed. The Music Category judges the
arranger’s skill and the performer’s musicianship in bringing the mood or story of the song to life,
and the suitability of the material to the barbershop style.
Performance
These judges evaluate how effectively a performer brings the song to life. They judge the entertainment
value of the performance - the art of the performance.
Singing
In the Singing Category, artistic singing in the barbershop style is judged - listening holistically for
ringing in-tune voices that use a free, beautiful and rich vocal quality, which is wonderfully unified
and vocally expressive.
Each judge may award up to 100 points per song.
Read more about each category in-depth at www.barbershop.org/contest-judging.

#EveryoneInHarmony “Harmony is ever to be the noble aim of our beloved
#SingAsOne society – harmony not only in music, but in
www.sinfonia.org the life within the fraternity, and in the broader and
fuller life beyond its portals: it is the harmony
whose music is felt in the hearty handclasp, heard
in the cheerful greeting, seen in living notes in the
generous act.”
– Ossian E. Mills
