What
a great hobby!
The most frequently heard comment from many new members
is, "If I had only known! I wish I had been introduced
to barbershopping years ago and joined earlier!"
Other than a church choir, where else can an amateur
singer perform regularly in front of appreciative
audiences.
Chorus
and Quartet singing!!!
The Tower City Chorus is comprised of about 60 active
male members. From top to bottom, voice parts range
from tenor, lead, baritone, and bass. You can choose
to simply sing with the chorus, or eventually spread
your wings and perhaps join a quartet.
Assistance is provided to learn new music.
You'll find a wide-range skill level in barbershopping.
Much help is provided to learn music by Section Leaders
and the guy next to you. Learning-tapes are often
available which means you can even "barbershop"
while driving in your car.
If
you're looking for a great way to relax with other
guys, you'll find loads of social activities (including
a weekend at Put-In-Bay), weekly afterglows (an afterglow
is a party-after-a-performance), contests, conventions,
and performances as part of the world's largest all-male
singing organization!
If you like to stretch your abilities, you'll
enjoy taking part in contests, shows, sing-outs, and
polishing your singing skills to their ultimate potential.
It's all available to you!
If you like to be a leader, you'll find opportunities
as a chapter leader, music director, teacher, coach,
artist, or whatever your skill happens to be. You
can be "the chief" of "just one of
the indians". You can find satisfaction in helping
others improve in this great hobby of ours!
You are always welcome to visit and just come to
get acquainted with other guys who like to sing
and participate in an evening of barbershop activities.
Weekly meetings are held on Tuesday evenings at 7:30
p.m. at Our Savior's Rocky River Lutheran Church
Hall located at 20300 Hilliard Boulevard, Rocky River,
Ohio. (Rocky River is a western suburb of Cleveland).
Dive right in! We're waiting to teach you how
easy barbershop singing can be for any singer!
