VISITORS
are always welcome! Come sing with us or just enjoy
the rehearsal! We have music for your use, and plenty
of encouragement and help reading the part, if you don't
read music (many of us don't). If you prefer to sit
and listen, that's fine too.
WHAT
STYLE OF SINGING DO WE SING?
Our format is a capella (no instruments), close 4-part harmony
with the melody in the second voice part. The voices
are (from the top) tenor, lead, baritone, and bass.
Songs range from the treasured gems from the early part of
the 20th century, up through modern tunes rewritten for our
style.
