A Membership with NAPAC helps to sponsor performers who become part of the NAPAC team. These are performers that produce their own music. They have regular day jobs, and save their earnings to record their works. Sadly, that music will never see major radio play, simply because they are not on the major music charts.
NAPAC Performers enjoy radio time - not only on KBHQ radio, but also through our developing national radio broadcast affiliates, online podcasts and streaming events. These events give NAPAC the ability to put these performers and their work in front of both listeners and live audience members across the United States, giving these talented artists the same opportunity to get heard outside of a local club.
Additionally, a NAPAC Membership allows us to create events featuring these talented performers, raising money to benefit Band, Choir and Drama programs in schools. Benefits would help toward basic equipment, educational camps, uniforms etc.
There was once a time where "Music" was a standard class offered in public schools. However, funding for these programs have been all but eliminated. Schooled instruction in music is only available to those who attend a public school that offers Band, Orchestra, Choir or Drama - and those classes are only available to those who can afford to participate. School bands don't usually provide the instruments that the student plays. They don't provide uniforms, tuition to band/choir camp, and in some cases, transportation. NAPAC was created to help fill the gap.
Formed in 2013, NAPAC is an Arkansas registered 501(C)(3) Nonprofit Organization based in Harrison, AR. and is supported entirely by donations from individuals, business sponsorships, memberships and through volunteers. NAPAC produces events which showcase Independent and unsigned performers to be seen by the general public, and to be heard over national radio - including NAPAC's own Community Radio Station - KBHQ-FM in Harrison, AR. Proceeds from these events and broadcasts are then directed to participating schools, making music available to students who would otherwise miss the opportunity because of financial inability.
