Introduction Statement This information will help you understand the Palo Alto - Mountain View chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society and what we expect from our members. We require that each of our members be committed to each other, to the music we sing, and to personal improvement of their own musical and performance skills. Singing isn't a casual hobby for us. We work at singing well, because singing well brings us joy. We share our joy with others. We've qualified to compete at the Far Western District Divisional Convention for more than ten consecutive years, and have steadily improved over this time. We're now a mid-B level chorus; we expect our members to perform at this level, and to participate in these contests as well as in numerous community performances. While we expect prospective members to have some singing experience, we also understand the need to teach the Barbershop Harmony Style to those new to the craft. We encourage quartet singing as a way to teach the style and facilitate individual improvement. We have very stable chapter management, are financially sound, and have an increasing membership. We currently have over forty actively performing members.
