  • Annual Report
    2015 ANNUAL REPORT Welcome to Harmony Foundation’s first Harmony Foundation annual report! International In my time as Chair of HFI’s Board of Trustees, I have watched the Foundation grow and evolve into a world-class organization, which excels at bringing the gift of singing to Staff the world. The dedication of the Foundation’s Jim Clark staff and trustees is unparalleled, as is the Regional Director of Development generosity of our donors. We have much to Carolyn Faulkenberry be proud of but much work still to do. Chief Financial Officer This report provides some key facts Connie Harris and figures on the financial health of the Director of Communications Foundation, but we all know that’s only half JJ Hawkins the story. Barbershop is not simply numbers Donor Care Center Associate on a page or trophies on a shelf. It’s a way Photo: J. Demetrie Photography Ryan Killeen of life. It’s a family, and music is what waters Senior Director of Development our family tree. Singing is the lifeblood that flows through us all and binds us together. Hopefully this report tells a bit of that story as well. Sharon Miller Acting President and CEO Each of us has our own reasons for supporting Harmony Foundation International. My family has made Barbershop a lifestyle, and it has been Sarah Ogiba Finance Assistant good to us. The lifelong friendships, the work ethic instilled in our children, a sense of togetherness — all these elements were cultivated through James Pennington Barbershop. I am sure all of you have similar stories to tell, and I believe Donor Care Center Manager others can benefit as we have.

  • Let Freedom Ring!
    Summer 2010 Let Freedom Ring! Barbershopping in Philly by Craig Rigg [The following report is a personal observation and does not reflect the views of the Society or the Illinois District. With luck we’ll face only a few lawsuits.] There’s this moment in the recent barbershop documentary Amer- ican Harmony. Jeff Oxley looks at a monitor as Vocal Spectrum appears on stage during the 2006 quartet contest, singing “Cruella DeVille.” He turns and shakes his head, saying, “The So- ciety’s changing, man.” His sentiments pretty much sum up what the 2010 International Convention and Con- tests at Philadelphia was all about. There’s been a changing of the guard. First, let's take the quartet contest. By now, everybody knows that Storm Front finally got the gold (after much cajoling and trash talk). They are the first comedy oriented quartet since FRED to achieve the pinnacle of quartetting. There’s no doubt these guys can sing; they’re Singing scores put them in second place, bested only by Old School (with Illinois's own Joe Krones at bass). In fact, Old School led after the semi-finals by only 17 points, and OS had won each of the first two rounds. All they had to do was maintain their lead and the gold was theirs. Not to be (a phrase you'll hear again later.) So what did Storm Front do that made the difference? Well, a combination of factors proba- bly did it. First, SF staged one heck of an innovative final set. Their first song, with a bit of mock- ing of Old School and up-and-coming Ringmasters from Sweden, lamented their struggle to reach the top.

    ~ The 79th Annual Barbershop Harmony Society’s International Convention ~ 2017 DAILY BULLETIN DESERTDESERT NEWSNEWS Friday July 14th 8 POST CONVENTION 2017 8 Last Minute Articles & Photos From the 2017 BHS Convention in Las Vegas, NV July 3 - 9 Society Honors Grand Central Red Caps Takes Two Steps to Correct Wrong (submitted by Ford Fuller) Grand Central Red Caps Quartet Honored at Saturday Night Spectacular The theme of this year’s Saturday Night Spectacular was “Together, We Sing” featuring the Ambassadors of Harmony & The Vocal Majority mega-chorus, along with quartets Vocal Spectrum and Crossroads. It was an awesome show! This evening’s program is about how our music brings us together. While we cannot erase the errors of the past, we do want to affirm, here and now, that our music is for all, regardless of race, creed or color. We celebrate the spread of our special kind of harmony to more di- verse groups of people, here in America, and throughout the worldwide community, bringing together young and old, rich and poor, black and white. But, perhaps the most poignant moment was a long-overdue correction of a horrible decision made by our Society in 1941. The story be- gins in 1940 when the National SPEBSQSA Convention was held in New York City at which time our society learned of a city-wide Bar- bershop Quartet Competition sponsored by the NYC Parks Department, that actually began in 1935. SPEBSQSA officers decided to invite the winner to the following year’s convention to be held in St. Louis. When the 1941 winner was determined, a telegram was sent to SPEBSQSA letting them know the winner.
