Chorus Members
Here's our chorus Belting out a song!
The Montgomery County Maryland chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society was chartered on May 20, 1960. We provide musical entertainment throughout the Washington D.C. metropolitan area
for office parties, meetings of fraternal organizations and religious groups, fund-raisers and other gatherings. We also sing regularly at facilities for people unable to attend regular
performances because of disability or confinement. We cooperate in community efforts that advance our charitable goals, and we are appropriately active in local arts councils or similar organizations.
The chorus was originally the Montgomery Counts until our home base, Rockville, Maryland, was designated an "All-American City" in 1976. In response, we changed our name to Hometowne USA
. Two years later a move was made to revert to our old name but the "HOMETOWNE" image had taken hold so well that it remains our title today.
The members meet weekly for musical training under the leadership of our Director, Mr. Barry Davis. We rehearse both as a chorus and in quartets.
The Board of Directors meets monthly to conduct routine Chapter business.
Each year, we hold our Annual Show where we present our best to the community, and to our friends and families. Check our Annual Show page for updates on this year's extravaganza,
featuring appearances by three different choruses.
Over the years, we have established many quartets. Some are “ad hoc” groups that deliver “Singing Valentines” in person to wives, sweethearts and special others. Established quartets perform as the members’
schedules permit. Our current chapter chapters are Precision Tuned and The Irrational Exuberance Quartet.
