FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1, ORGANIZATION'S MISSION STATEMENT THE MISSION OF THE BARBERSHOP HARMONY SOCIETY (ALSO KNOWN AS "SPEBSQSA", "THE SOCIETY", OR "BHS") IS TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER IN HARMONY AND FELLOWSHIP TO ENRICH LIVES THROUGH SINGING. FOUNDED IN 1938 AS THE SOCIETY FOR THE PRESERVATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF BARBER SHOP QUARTET SINGING IN AMERICA, INCORPORATED (SPEBSQSA), THE SOCIETY PRESERVES AND PROPAGATES THE REACH OF BARBERSHOP MUSIC, A UNIQUELY AMERICAN, CLOSE HARMONY STYLE OF SINGING WITH STRONG ROOTS IN AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITIES. BHS IS THOUGHT TO BE ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST SINGING ORGANIZATIONS, WITH NEARLY 14,000 OFFICIAL MEMBERS AND OVER 1,400 REGISTERED CHORUSES AND QUARTETS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA. WHEN PEOPLE SING TOGETHER, THEIR LIVES ARE IMPROVED ON MANY LEVELS AND, IN TURN, OUR COMMUNITIES ARE HEALTHIER AND MORE VIBRANT PLACES TO LIVE. WITH A LEGACY OF IMPACTING COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE WORLD FOR MORE THAN 80 YEARS AND A STRATEGIC VISION OF "EVERYONE IN HARMONY," THE SOCIETY HAS FOCUSED ITS MISSION-DRIVING ACTIVITIES AROUND FOUR MAIN IMPACT AREAS. THESE IMPACT AREAS ARE: 1. MUSIC EDUCATION: BHS SUPPORTS THE SUCCESS OF MUSIC EDUCATORS THROUGH SCHOLARSHIPS, FREE MUSIC, AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES TO ENRICH THE LIVES OF STUDENTS THROUGH SINGING. 2. YOUTH: BHS ENERGIZES YOUNG PEOPLE OF EVERY BACKGROUND WITH AMAZING EVENTS, SCHOLARSHIPS, MUSIC, AND PERFORMANCES THAT HELP THEM IN THE HERE-AND-NOW WHILE KINDLING A LIFELONG LOVE OF SINGING. 3. PRESERVATION: BHS LEVERAGES OUR VAST HISTORIC ARCHIVES TO PRESERVE THE PAST- WHILE CREATING THE FUTURE- FOR EVERY GENERATION OF SINGERS. 4. SINGING COMMUNITY HEALTH: BHS BUILDS AND STRENGTHENS THOUSANDS OF COMMUNITIES, FROM OUR ORIGINAL ALL-MALE GROUPS TO THE DIVERSE GROUPS THAT HAVE FLOURISHED SINCE WE WELCOMED ALL PEOPLE AS MEMBERS IN 2018. THESE INTERGENERATIONAL SINGING COMMUNITIES CULTIVATE SHARED EXPERIENCES, LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS, AND ROLE MODELS THAT SUPPORT SINGERS IN ALL ASPECTS OF THEIR LIVES. THE BARBERSHOP HARMONY SOCIETY BELIEVES THAT WHAT WE OFFER - THE EXPERIENCE OF SINGING TOGETHER IN HARMONY - IS MEANINGFUL TO ALL PEOPLE, AND SHOULD THEREFORE BE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE. THE SOCIETY IS COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING AND ENCOURAGING THE BENEFITS OF SINGLE-GENDER SINGING EXPERIENCES AS WELL AS SINGING EXPERIENCES FOR ALL VOICES. EACH SINGING COMMUNITY IS ENCOURAGED AND SUPPORTED IN DETERMINING ITS PURPOSE AND MISSION IN ITS LOCAL COMMUNITY. THE SOCIETY'S STRATEGIC VISION OF EVERYONE IN HARMONY ALLOWS MORE SINGING COMMUNITIES THE OPPORTUNITY TO SING IN ALL IMAGINABLE CONFIGURATIONS. THE BENEFITS OF VARIOUS SINGING EXPERIENCES ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO OUR HUMANITY AND CULTURAL WELL-BEING. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: EVENTS -- BHS COORDINATES SERVICES FOR EVENT PROGRAMS THAT ENABLE SINGING COMMUNITIES TO SHOWCASE THEIR TALENTS IN NORTH AMERICA AND AROUND THE GLOBE. AS A RESULT OF THESE PROGRAMS: 1) SINGING COMMUNITIES GROW MUSICALLY AND ADMINISTRATIVELY, INCREASE THEIR IMPACT, AND BECOME MORE SUSTAINABLE; 2) MORE SINGING COMMUNITIES ARE FORMED; 3) MORE SINGERS JOIN THESE COMMUNITIES; AND 4) THESE GROUPS BECOME INTEGRAL PARTS OF THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. KEY ACTIVITIES AND OUTCOMES INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: THE SOCIETY PRODUCES LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL CONVENINGS THAT SHOWCASE, ADVANCE, AND CELEBRATE THE BARBERSHOP ART FORM. THESE EVENTS INCLUDE CONTESTS, CLASSES, PARTICIPATORY SINGING EVENTS AND CELEBRATIONS, SHOWS, AND FELLOWSHIP. THE SUMMER INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION IS OUR LARGEST EVENT. IT INCLUDES THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR BARBERSHOP QUARTET AND CHORUS PERFORMANCES, A "NEXT GENERATION" QUARTET AND CHORUS YOUTH CONTEST, EDUCATIONAL CLASSES, OUTREACH AND SERVICE PROJECTS IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, AND A SPECTACULAR CLOSING CELEBRATION WHERE THOUSANDS SING "KEEP THE WHOLE WORLD SINGING" TO CONCLUDE THE WEEK-LONG EVENT. THE MIDWINTER CONVENTION IS AN INTERGENERATIONAL SINGING CELEBRATION THAT KICKS OFF EACH YEAR AND INCLUDES A "NEXT GENERATION" CHORUS AND QUARTET FESTIVAL, A SENIORS CONTEST, MORE HARMONY UNIVERSITY CLASSES, AND SHOWCASE PERFORMANCES FROM TOP GROUPS. CONVENTIONS, CONTESTS, AND FESTIVALS ARE PRODUCED AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL AS WELL. EACH DISTRICT PRODUCES ONE TO THREE EVENTS EACH YEAR. ABOUT 20,000 ATTEND THE INTERNATIONAL LEVEL AND DISTRICT EVENTS ANNUALLY, WITH MANY ATTENDING YEAR AFTER YEAR. FINALLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, MOST OF OUR 1,400+ CHORUSES AND QUARTETS ALSO PRODUCE PUBLIC PERFORMANCES AND SHOWS. WE ESTIMATE OVER 200,000 HAVE ATTENDED AN IN-PERSON BHS EVENT IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS WITH OVER 16 MILLION MORE SEEING ONLINE BARBERSHOP PERFORMANCES ANNUALLY. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: OUTREACH -- BHS CONDUCTS MUSIC EDUCATOR AND YOUTH-FOCUSED OUTREACH PROGRAMS, CREATES PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER CHORAL ORGANIZATIONS, DISTRIBUTES FREE RESOURCES, AND PRODUCES EVENTS THAT INCREASE ACCESS TO HARMONY SINGING, SUPPORT MUSIC EDUCATORS, AND PROMOTE THE VALUE OF SINGING TOGETHER FOR BOTH THE SINGER AND THE SINGER'S COMMUNITY. AS A RESULT OF THESE PROGRAMS, 1) SINGERS EXPERIENCE A HIGHER QUALITY OF LIFE OVERALL; 2) COMMUNITIES THRIVE THROUGH FELLOWSHIP AND HARMONY CREATION; 3) YOUNG PEOPLE RECEIVE MUSIC EDUCATION AND SING TOGETHER, WHICH HELPS THEM DEVELOP AND GROW INTO HEALTHY, WELL-ROUNDED ADULTS; 4) LIVES ARE ENHANCED, LIFELONG SINGING FLOURISHES, AND PERCEIVED DIFFERENCES BREAK DOWN BETWEEN GROUPS WHEN PEOPLE SING TOGETHER ACROSS GENERATIONS AND CULTURES; 5) WHEN PEOPLE FACING SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES SING TOGETHER, IT HELPS THEM NAVIGATE THOSE CHALLENGES AND EMERGE STRONGER. WITH 80+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH ALL-MALE GROUPS SPECIFICALLY, YOUNG MEN AND ADULT MEN ALIKE IN BHS HAVE OVERCOME CHALLENGES THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THEIR SINGING EXPERIENCE (E.G.- INCREASING THEIR CONFIDENCE AND VULNERABILITY), WHICH HELPS THOSE MEN BE BETTER HUSBANDS, FATHERS, BROTHERS, AND CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS OF SOCIETY. WE DRAW UPON THOSE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TO SUPPORT ALL SINGERS AND THEIR PERSONAL JOURNEYS. KEY ACTIVITIES AND OUTCOMES INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: NEXT GENERATION BARBERSHOP (NGB) IS OUR SIGNATURE OUTREACH PROGRAM. IT HELPS SINGERS UP TO AGE 25 DISCOVER THEIR VOICES AND FIND THE JOY OF SINGING TOGETHER. WE OFFER DISTINCT PROGRAMS FOR SINGERS IN GRADES 6-12, AND POST-HIGH SCHOOL IN MEN'S, WOMEN'S, OR MIXED VOICE ENSEMBLES. THE NEXT GENERATION BARBERSHOP JUNIOR CHORUS INVITATIONAL, FOR ALL VOICE CONFIGURATIONS, AGE 18 AND UNDER, IS OUR MOST POPULAR PROGRAM, TRADITIONALLY WITH MORE THAN 500 YOUNG PARTICIPANTS EACH YEAR. THE THREE-DAY IMMERSION INCLUDES CLINICS AND WORKSHOPS BY THE LIKES OF KIRBY SHAW AND DEKE SHARON, CULMINATING IN A CHORUS FESTIVAL AND A SPECTACULAR CLOSING CEREMONY FEATURING ALL PARTICIPANTS. THIS PROGRAM OFFERS SINGERS MOUNTAINTOP EXPERIENCES THAT LOCK IN A LIFELONG APPRECIATION FOR VOCAL HARMONY AND THE COMMUNAL EXPERIENCE OF BARBERSHOP CULTURE. IN ADDITION, THIS PROGRAM HELPS YOUNG SINGERS INCREASE THEIR CONFIDENCE, DISCIPLINE, TEAMWORK, AND CREATIVITY, HELPING THEM BECOME STRONGER LEADERS IN THEIR SCHOOLS, COMMUNITIES, AND FAMILIES. IT INSPIRES, CULTIVATES, AND SHOWCASES YOUTH WHO SING AND WHO, IN TURN, INSPIRE OTHER YOUTH TO SING. IT ALSO CULTIVATES AND SHOWCASES SUCCESSFUL ROLE MODELS, LIKE 2017 GUEST CLINICIAN FRANCISCO NUNEZ, WHO INSPIRE OTHER YOUTH TO SING. FINALLY, IT HELPS MUSIC EDUCATORS ATTRACT MORE YOUNG SINGERS, PARTICULARLY MALE SINGERS, THEREBY IMPROVING THE VITALITY AND IMPACT OF THEIR CHORAL MUSIC PROGRAMS. IN 2024, THE NGB JUNIOR CHORUS INVITATIONAL WILL BE HELD IN NEW YORK CITY. IN 2023, WE PARTNERED AGAIN WITH THE NASHVILLE SONGWRITERS ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL TO PREMIERE ORIGINAL WORKS BY A NUMBER OF THE PARTICIPATING CHORUSES IN DAYTONA BEACH IN 2023. THE EVENT IS A CULMINATION OF A YEAR-LONG VIRTUAL COLLABORATION OF SONGWRITERS AND THESE YOUTH ENSEMBLES STARTED IN 2021 TO SHOW THAT EVEN IN A PANDEMIC, INNOVATION, CREATIVITY, AND HARMONY SINGING PERSEVERES. SUBSTANTIAL SCHOLARSHIPS BASED ON NEED, TRAVEL DISTANCE, AND PAST PARTICIPATION ENSURE MAXIMUM PROGRAM IMPACT. THE NEXT GENERATION VARSITY QUARTET CONTEST IS FOR ALL VOICES, AGE 25 AND UNDER. OVER 200 YOUNG SINGERS PER YEAR HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THIS SHOWCASE ADJUDICATED IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS OF SUPPORTIVE BARBERSHOP FANS. FIVE QUARTETS HAVE GONE ON TO BECOME INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONS AND OVER 95% OF BARBERSHOPPERS THAT PARTICIPATE AT THIS LEVEL REMAIN INVOLVED IN BARBERSHOP AND SINGING LATER IN LIFE. DOZENS OF NEXT GENERATION VARSITY ALUMNI ARE NOW IN KEY MUSICAL LEADERSHIP POSITIONS THROUGHOUT THE SOCIETY AND IN THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. SUBSTANTIAL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS MAKE THE EVENT ACCESSIBLE TO ALL. THE NEXT GENERATION VARSITY CHORUS INVITATIONAL, FOR ALL VOICES, AGE 25 AND UNDER, DEBUTED IN JULY 2018 AT OUR INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION IN ORLANDO. THE WEEK'S ACTIVITIES FEATURED THE CONTEST, ADJUDICATED BY CERTIFIED BHS JUDGES AND PERFORMED FOR A LARGE CROWD, AND AN HONORS CHORUS THAT PERFORMED TWO SONGS IN VARIOUS VENUES THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. WORLD-CLASS COACHES WORK WITH THE GROUP TO BRING IT TO PEAK PERFORMANCE. SUBSTANTIAL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS MAKE THE EVENT ACCESSIBLE TO ALL. THE NEXT GENERATION JUNIOR QUARTET CONTEST, FOR ALL VOICES, AGE 18 AND UNDER, DEBUTED IN 2019 AT THE GRAND OLE OPRY IN NASHVILLE, AND HAD RECORD PARTICIPATION FOR ITS SECOND YEAR IN JACKSONVILLE IN 2020. SUBSTANTIAL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS MAKE THIS ACCESSIBLE TO ALL. WE DISTRIBUTE SHEET MUSIC, EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS, LEARNING TRACKS, AND BARBERSHOP STARTER KITS, FREE OF CHARGE, TO MUSIC EDUCATORS. WE'VE PROVIDED MORE THAN 25,000 UNITS AT NO COST IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS. WE PARTNER WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS FOCUSED ON THE CHORAL ARTS TO ADVANCE THE IDEA OF CLOSE HARMONY SINGING. WE PROVIDE OPERATIONAL SERVICES FOR LOCAL SINGING COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING LEGAL FORMATION, INSURANCE, BOARD DEVELOPMENT, DUES COLLECTION, TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS, ETC. THESE ARE DESIGNED TO HELP THESE COMMUNITIES OPERATE SMOOTHLY AND NIMBLY SO THAT THEIR ATTENTION CAN BE FOCUSED ON THEIR IMPACT AND ARTISTRY. CURRENTLY, OVER 85% OF CHAPTERS AGREE THAT THEY ARE VALUABLE. WE CONNECT SINGERS AND SINGING COMMUNITIES WORLDWIDE THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND ONLINE EFFORTS. WE HAVE A SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWING OF OVER 220,000 PEOPLE.
