By Rob Arnold, Ontario District executive vice president

The Barbershop Harmony Degree program will be launched at the convention this fall in Kingston. Have you competed in a variety of chorus or quartet contests? Have you served on chapter boards or committees? Have you served on district or Society boards or committees? If so you may be eligible for your Barbershop Harmony Degree.

The Ontario District is launching your Barbershop Harmony Degree program. If you answered yes to any of the questions above you may be eligible for either you Bachelor, Masters or PhD of Barbershop Harmony Degree. This program is an individual awards program intended to recognize all of those people that help contribute to the success of barbershop at all levels.  

Visit the Barbershop Harmony Degree table at the fall convention in Kingston and answer a few questions relating to your service in offices, number of times you have competed, years of membership in the Society and even the number of education events in which you have participated.

Our program co-ordinators will input your information and determine the award you are to receive. There is no cost to the members as this is a way of the district thanking people for their continued service and participation in the Ontario District their chapter and their Society.     k
