Song O' Sky Chorus
is dedicated to teaching and promoting the singing of a cappella, four-part
harmony, barbershop style, which is part of our musical heritage. The
barbershop style began with ad lib harmonizing in minstrel shows in the 1800's,
and eventually developed into a complex, technically precise and challenging
musical medium. It strives to perfect the balance and harmony of four
well-matched voice parts (tenor, lead, baritone, and bass) into a full, rich,
and exciting sound that has been known to cause goose bumps on those who
listen! This style of singing can enhance any song, whether it's a
Broadway show tune, a patriotic song, jazz or blues, favorite pop song, or
romantic ballad.
Song O' Sky usually presents
an annual show, complete with costumes and choreography. We also accept paid singing engagements for a wide
variety of group events, large and small, private and public. A select
number of free performances for community service are also presented each
year. If you are interested in booking a show for your group, please click

The chorus also offers its members unique and wide ranging opportunities for
education and experience in other areas such as directing, music
arranging, show production, administration, and leadership skills. If you
