The Syncopations were privileged to be invited to appear in a pilot project at Highland Park during the 2001 Lilac Festival. The groups performing were under the auspices of the Hattie Harris Musicals, an organization dedicated to introducing young people everywhere to a cappella music, especially barbershop. All the groups participating were volunteer. The photographs were given with the blessing of musical fun and a future filled with harmony. The Syncopations will be Collegiate Ambassadors for April 25 Music Across America - music programs are scheduled at facilities across the country that care for sick boys, girls and adults.
