Our chorus began in January 2017 with a handful of men who love to sing.
Through hard work and with the guidance of excellent directors, we are learning the "craft" of singing
a cappella, primarily in the barbershop style.
We have penned the following ideals to guide our group:
Mission: We are a blend of voices joining in harmony for the emancipation of the spirit and for the pleasure of the audience, where the whole is greater than the sum of our parts
Vision:
a) Each member will have the opportunity:
- to experience the joy of hearing his own voice in four part harmony
- to continually improve his music and singing skills
- to sing with the chorus in public performance when he has met the performance standard set by the music director.
- to join in the friendship of his fellow singers and to contribute to the betterment of the chorus.
b) Chorus meetings are well planned, musically satisfying, and fun.
c) Our chorus and quartets perform music in the barbershop style and in a broad range of
other a cappella styles.
