The Capitol Chordsmen Chorus An Overture Hall headliner!

Experience barbershop singing by visiting us We rehearse most Tuesdays 04/06/2008

Reveille sang on our stage April 5

JOIN US TUESDAY, APRIL 8, TO EXPERIENCE BARBERSHOP SINGING YOURSELF. This is a special night for us -- and we think for you -- when our primary focus is on introducing males of most ages to the barbershop experience. Be our guest at this 7 p.m. event to learn more about barbershop music and even do a little easy singing with us in a "no pressure" atmosphere. We'll also have refreshments and maybe a surprise or two.

We only do something like this a handful of nights throughout the year, so don't miss out! We'll be at our normal rehearsal location, Asbury United Methodist Church, 6101 University Ave.

Can't make it April 8? We rehearse most Tuesdays at the same location, and visitors are always welcome.

CHORUS HAS VERY BUSY YEAR!

The Capitol Chordsmen Chorus and quartets made at least 47 appearances and sang for at least 41,434 persons in 2007! While it was the first year we began keeping such records, it supports our belief that the year likely was our busiest within memory. Thanks to all who supported us by their attendance and otherwise joined us in harmony!
