The international society
has been in existence for almost 76 years and is the largest men’s singing
organization in the world, with chapters in all states, Canada and numerous
foreign countries. “Barbershop Harmony”
is created by four vocal parts: lead (the melody), tenor, baritone and
bass. Barbershop quartets and choruses
always sing a capella – without instrumental accompaniment and without
referring to printed musical scores.
Barbershop music is typically light-hearted, up-beat, sometimes
sentimental and often patriotic. You
may have noticed that barbershop singers enjoy their performances.
Color Country Chorus has
been part of the St. George musical scene for over 28 years. The chorus is open to all men of good cheer
who love to sing, with members ranging in age from teenagers to eighty-year
olds. The chorus performs many times
throughout the year. The Annual Show
has become an important event in local musical circles. The chorus members also enjoy presenting an
annual Christmas Concert in the St. George Tabernacle, Singing Valentines in
February and patriotic events on Memorial Day and July 4th. Participation in Barbershop Harmony Society
regional and district conventions and contests is also an important part of a
barbershopper’s life. Color Country
Chorus has won numerous awards over the years at these conventions.
