| The Colorado Springs/Pikes Peak Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society welcomes you to our website and we invite you learn more about our organization. Our Chapter joins a brotherhood of nearly 28,000 men in the United States and Canada who share a love for the lock and ring of a barbershop chord. We sing old songs, new songs, love songs, slow songs, up beat songs, country western, show songs, humorous songs all in 4-part barbershop harmony. The major shows in the spring and at Christmas include 35 man chorus and/or several chapter quartets. We also perform at local gathering throughout the year. Singing barbershop is a hobby and we are all about having fun at the same time Our Society motto is "Keep the Whole World Singing," |
Christmas Show 2012. If you missed the Christmas show you missed one of the best Christmas productions in the
Colorado Springs area. The auditorium was full and we received a standing ovation for each performance. Here are
some of the comments from our audience:
" I really enjoyed the show very much! This was by far the Chorus' best production and performance
that I've seen over these past years. I especially liked the challenging, more complex multi-voice piece
they added to this year's repertoire. And the "12 Days of Christmas" was so much fun!! I don't know
how long this group of guys have been singing together, but they certainly are getting better & better!
Thanks for a wonderful evening."
A long time patron
"What a wonderful performance. This show represents what good music is all about. The chorus definitely
set a high standard for the season. It's what the Christmas spirit is all about."
A patron from out of state
"Your performance was at a quality level above other championship choruses I have heard."

Valentines day 2013 saw the chorus send out several quartets to present a singing valentines to our customer. This
included four men dressed in tuxes who sang 2 love songs, presented a long stem rose and a valentine document. As in
the past, it was a great hit especially when 2 of the valentines were from soldiers on duty in Afghanistan. (see picture
below)
Some of comments we received were:
"Yes! She was completely taken by surprise and she loved it! A coworker of hers took a video as well so I got to see it
which was superb!"
A customer from out of state
"I started to cry when I realized who is was from "
