We are a varied group of fun loving guys that come from several ages, backgrounds and experiences, who love to sing. We have in common, the love of four part barbershop harmony. While we are a light hearted group, we are serious about our singing. Our current director is leaving us to pursue his life in another state, which of course, is why we need a director. We have the following of many venues for performances throughout the year, which increases substantially during the holiday season, in parks in and around the mid-Long Island area. We are located less that an hour ride to New York City by rail or auto. We meet on Tuesday evenings at 7:30PM, in a former school that is no longer used for that purpose. The auditorium, with a full and working stage, is available for our rehearsals and shows.

We are in search of an enthusiastic director who likes to bring younger members to a higher level of competency, and provide the more experienced ones with the subtle finer points. He or She should also be experienced in barbershop music. We also like to have our director participate in our board meetings in order to provide his expertise and valued knowledge, when he feels it would be useful. We have a continuing active program to obtain new members, in order to grow our numbers over the 25 we currently have on roster. We achieved First Place in Platinum AAA, at the Northern Division competition.

We are a small chapter located in Northwest Arkansas looking to grow.

Northwest Arkansas is a two-county area which includes Fayetteville, Springdale, Siloam Springs, Rogers Bella Vista and Bentonville...a population of about 300,000. A low cost of living and an increasing job growth rate makes it an attractive place to relocate.

With a thriving cultural community consisting of museums, performing arts centers, historical sites, state parks, sports teams and more, Northwest Arkansas is a popular vacation destination. Highways and the newly expanded Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport (XNA) provide for easy travel to and from the region. Last Updated ( Tuesday, 22 March 2011 14:00 )
