Membership in the DC chapter offers enjoyment and benefits, the outstanding attraction being the opportunity it affords to meet weekly with a group of congenial men who love to sing in four-part harmony. Our musical leadership includes expert musicians who know barbershop music from "do-re-mi" to the most complex concepts of musical theory and artistic interpretation, and who work hard to help us as individuals and as a chorus to improve our musical skills. Learning music is made easier through learning tapes and CDsmade for each voice part. There are many more reasons to join; just keep reading.
Quartet singing may be casual or intensive. It may be aimed at having a little fun in one's own living room with three friends, or at winning a championship. Our organized chapter quartets sing privately for their own enjoyment, entertain at chapter meetings, and perform in public. Four men may simply get together at chapter meetings, informally, to sing old favorites or songs from the chorus repertoire. At times, we sponsor contests for such informal quartets, as a means of encouraging quartetting. In the Singing Capital Chorus, we encourage everyone to try his hand at quartet singing, but whether you prefer a quartet, the chorus, or both, there's something for everyone.
