About Us

The Columbia River Chordsmen Chapter was formed in 2002 when Bob Steen and Todd Ash got together with about a dozen other men to toss around the idea of forming a barbershop chorus in the Tri-Cities area. That was then, and now we have twice as many singers!

Our members are shown below; thanks to Wayne Hamilton for the photographs. You can see our chapter officers by clicking here, and for those who like documents and politics, here is a link to our bylaws (.doc format).
