We are always looking for women interested in joining our chorus. 

We are a fun and dedicated group of singers committed to the craft of four part harmony sung in the barbershop style.

If you are 18 years or older you are invited to attend a chorus rehearsal any Monday night .

Do you sing with the car radio?  Do you sometimes harmonize with what you're hearing?  Maybe you're a Baritone

If you are a star, and like to sing the melody, then you're a Lead

 

Do people ask to speak to your mother when they call your house?  You, my child, are a Tenor

 

And last but surely not least, do they call you sir on the phone?  Boy, do we have a part for you!!  It's called Bass

 

If you can sing, we can train you to "carry your part".  The first time you find yourself inside a "ringing chord", you're hooked for life!

 

  Benefits of Joining:

Weekly vocal lessons;

Vocal production and breathing;

Public performances;

Weekend regional schools offered several times per year;

Regional competition once a year; and

Learn new music and improve barbershop skills!

FUN! FUN! AND MORE FUN!!!

How Can You Join?

 

A prospective member must attend (3) three out of (5) rehearsals.  After this requirement is met, she may audition before the chorus director and music committee.  The audition is done in a quartet situation where the prospective member sings her part with three members of the chorus.

 

This audition is done privately, away from the chorus.  You may have "practice" time with the music commitee if you feel you are not quite ready for the actual audition.  We have had members stay for additional weeks before auditioning, and that's all right.  We want you to be comfortable. 

  

A prospective member will receive an Application for Membership and a copy of the chapter bylaws and standing rules.

 

Once you are a member in good standing, you are entitled to sing at performances with the chorus and attend the Regional Competition. 

 

The chorus has monthly dues in the amount of $29.  This amount covers your International dues, Regional assessment and chapter dues.  Each member is required to have the current chorus costumes, but every effort is made to keep these costs at a minimum.  

 

The only travel  requirement each year is Regional Competition.  Any other weekend schools or events are optional.  But every effort should be made to attend these educational opportunities!  Not to mention the fun and singing!!
