Looking for Singers
Most folks in New Bern are aware of the Southern Gendemen Barbershop Cho
rus. The chorus annually delivers singing valentines, puts on a spring show and
promotes men’s barbershop a cappella singing.
The Southern Gentlemen Chorus is actively recruiting male singers. Especially
welcome would be tenors and baritones. Do you have choir or glee club experience?
Are you a retired guy who sang and now has time? Sons, fathers and grandfathers
could share this hobby together! The chorus is also looking for young men who
enjoyed singing in high school choir and/or musicals.
Attend the Southern Gentlemen Chorus Guest Night, Tuesday, February 28th. It.
will feature great barbershop chorus songs, wonderful quartets, and refreshments.
Learn what the “barbershop sound” is all about. Sing with the men of the chorus.
It's a good time for everyone. Bring your sweetie!
Guest Night will take place at Cornerstone Assembly Church of God, 2304 E.
