CALLING MUSIC EDUCATORS

Are you a dedicated Music Educator with a passion for nurturing young talent through singing? If you have teaching experience or are currently working as a music teacher, we want YOU to be part of our exciting initiative!

Join our focus groups and planning task forces for youth events in the Northeastern District. Your expertise and unique perspective can play a vital role in shaping the way we organize and deliver these events for aspiring young singers.

We are on the lookout for individuals who proudly wear two hats – that of a Barbershopper and a Music Educator. Whether you belong to BHS, SAI, or HI, and reside or work in the Northeastern District, we invite you to collaborate with us.

Together, we can unlock new possibilities to inspire and empower the next generation of singers. Let's make a difference and create meaningful experiences that will impact young lives positively. Reach out to us now to explore how you can contribute!

IMPACT YOUNG LIVES

Harmony Explosion Camp Northeast (HXNE) has been a transformative event for music teachers and for kids who like to sing for decades!  It is the “crown jewel” of our youth activities.  After a COVID inspired gap, we can’t wait to launch it again in 2024. Previous camp attendees and volunteers know that our camp offers an eye-opening, learning experience. It provides an important foundation for musical and relationship growth.

In order to succeed this year we need your financial help.  We have pledged that no 2024 camper will have to come “out of pocket” to attend our event.  We want all youths to have the opportunity to sing barbershop harmony, regardless of their economic status.  But meeting this promise will ONLY be possible with generous contributions from people like you.

To help us in our quest to get youths singing barbershop, we’re grateful and excited to be partnering again with Harmony Incorporated and Sweet Adeline’s International.

Please take a moment to consider a personal contribution. 

The actual cost for one youth to attend HXNE is around $200.  Could you personally sponsor a camper or perhaps contribute a different amount?  All donations matter regardless of their size. 

Be a force multiplier!Another way you could help would be to spread the word about this amazing program with folks that are not already barbershoppers.  There are lots of people who appreciate music education/enrichment programs and would be happy to donate if they knew about our camp and how to give.

Parents with kids, now more than ever appreciate that these types of live, in-person events are essential to the healthy development of youths. 
So, be a force multiplier by making a donation and asking others to do the same.

You might also consider nudging your chapter or your quartet to raise money for HXNE.  You could pass the hat, run a raffle, donate a performance fee, gift it from your treasury, or create a challenge amongst yourselves.   All donors will be recognized for their contributions. Have fun with it!

There is a NED Youth donation button at the bottom of this page.  Please click on it and donate today.  If you prefer, you can also send a check payable to the Northeastern District and mail it to 3 Owls Head Drive, Nashua, NH 03063.  Please put HXNE or HX camp in the memo field to make sure your gift gets to the right program.

Help Us Spread the Word

Finally, while financial assistance is a necessity for this program, what is equally important is spreading the word about HXNE to local high school students and their music educators. 

We are excited about the registration expectancy for 2024, but our enrollment could significantly increase with the help of everybody who sings Barbershop. So, please join our movement and share our message and the website.  Please get active on social media to tell our important story. 
A 60-day commitment by ALL of us to spread the word can really change the lives of youths (and maybe even some teachers!
