What We Offer:

By meeting on a different night than most local chapters, the Independence chapter offers another outlet for local Barbershoppers, as well as the musically inclined male singer seeking a quality singing experience.  We do NOT accept direct transfers, but will accept a dual membership, IF the candidate sings with both his home chapter AND Independence, for a minimum of one year.  Our hope would be, that the singer can be a positive example to both chapters by what he learns on a weekly basis.

Our balanced focus on both quartet and chorus activities will be of interest to men who enjoy either activity separately as well as those who take pleasure in both.

Singing requirements for membership ensure that all members will be competent quartet men who can hold their own in informal quartet settings.

The chorus will be comprised of quality singers with a personal commitment to preparation and excellence, and will constantly challenge members to achieve the highest levels of performance.

Membership Standards:

To become a chapter member, candidates must be men of good character and demonstrate an ability to carry their part in a quartet that could perform acceptably in public.

Chorus participation is based on tape audits of the music, as well as choreography preparation, and visual involvement.  Members are encouraged to attend rehearsals on a regular basis, practice at home, and focus on singing at an "A" level of performance.
