What is Barbershop Harmony?
It is a style of unaccompanied vocal music
characterized by consonant four-part chords for every melody note.
The voice parts are tenor, lead, baritone and bass. The lead
generally sings the melody, the tenor harmonizing above, the bass
singing the lowest harmonizing notes and the baritone completing the
chord either above or below the lead.
Barbershoppers get their fun in singing for each other
and for the public. The better we sing, the more we enjoy it,
so, we enter official Barbershop Harmony Society competitions to keep
improving. We won the Cardinal District Chorus Competition in
1978, 1983, 1990, and 2005. In 1991 we competed with 68 men at
the International Competition in Louisville where we finished 13th out
of 17 competing choruses.
