An evening with Mary Walsh July 6, 8pm Stockey Centre In Support of West Parry Sound Health Centre

We are an acappella barbershop chapter with the Barbershop Harmony Society. No more bowler hats and spats here! We sing Monday nights, 7:00 to 9:30 pm, at the Essex United Church (downstairs hall) in Essex. Are you looking for a great place to come out and sing? Are you already singing in one musical group and wish to add a new and exciting style to that vocal experience? Well, then barbershop singing (4-part a cappella harmony) may be just what you're craving for. The music, learning tracks, performances, competitions, meeting new friends, camaraderie, and fun are all-inclusive. One of the best vocal environments around. Testaments include things like "great music to sing", "friendly environment", "no pressure", "fun songs", and "I took the acappella plunge and now I look forward to it every week." We rehearse every Monday night from 7 pm to 9:30 pm at Essex United Church in Essex. Come out and join us. Bring a friend with you. Guaranteed to enjoy it from the first night.  Contact Info: Tom at tgrim140@gosfieldtel.com (519-839-4027), or see www.sunparlourchorus.com for more details and events.
