At the beginning of this year, we realized that we had to do something because "Chorder of Four" was gone. So, we got together and started to practice quite a bit. At first, we thought that singing barbershop was going to be impossible because of all of the formidable chords and the fact that there is only one person singing each part.

After we had become comfortable with the music, we got the opportunity to make our first appearance at the annual Sugar Valley Singers (Our local SPEBSQSA chapter) concert. After that, we started to perform more regularly. The updated list of our performances can be found here. That's where our brief history ends, but its still growing...
