Abstract
ference, acting on a request from Society for Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, Inc., approved the inclusion of a barbershop quartet category in competitive festivals in states where such a category is desired. Now that national organization has given its approval, each state may decide whether to include a barbershop category. The final decision should be made not on basis of festival alone, but rather on opportunity to involve more students in vocal music program. As a result of approval of barbershop music by MENC's national board, there has been a gratifying acceptance of barbershop style, and many teachers are eager to know more about it. It really is as American as apple pie and deserves some recognition in vocal music programs in our schools.
