What We Are:
The Independence, Ohio chapter of The Barbershop Harmony
Society (SPEBSQSA), is the newest chapter in the Cleveland metropolitan area dedicated to
high-quality quartet and chorus singing of Barbershop-style music.
Who We Are:
The Chapter will be comprised of competent quartet men who enjoy both formal
and informal quartet singing as well as high-caliber chorus singing.

|
Talented and well-known barbershoppers in the community will be members of
the chapter and are expected to contribute through participation, coaching,
directing, leadership and mentoring.
The chapter recognizes its quartet
roots, and promotes quartet growth within the chapter, as well as quartet
activity every Thursday evening during rehearsal. We welcome
established quartets to come and entertain!
Each week, the chapter incorporates its
quartet program into the fast paced, educationally fun evening! From
warm-up exercises, to learning a song from days gone by, quartets are the
life blood of this fine, "A" level focused chapter.
In the 2005 Divisional Contest, held
in Hermitage Pa.,
Independence
had approximately 28 singers in quartets that crossed the contest
stage. Four quartets qualified to sing at the District contest in Charleston, WV.
Quartets truly anchor the sound of this fine group of singers!
2006 Divisional Competition in
Charleston WV, proved to be every bit as quartet involved, as
approximately 85% of the total Independence Chapter membership, went across
the stage in the quartet competition, some of whom made this their very
first quartet experience! 6 quartets, and
one mike tester quartet advanced to District Competition. Quartets
truly dominate this fine chapter!
