Mission Statement

Singing For You

The Totem-Aires is always looking for men who enjoy singing.  We have a place for everyone provided that they can carry a tune; after all, we are a singing organization.  Non-singers are also welcome should a person enjoy the fellowship and camaraderie of a fun loving men's group and/or who may be adept at performing some of the administrative requirements of such a group.  If you have ever thought of singing in your own quartet, there is no better place to find the other three parts but in a Barbershop chorus.  There are always exciting things occurring with the Totem-Aires and we would like YOU to be part of it.

 

Who Can Join?

Almost all men can be prospective members of the Barbershop Harmony Society.  In Tacoma, a guest, if willing, will be listened to for voice placement upon first visiting and will be given a simple audition once they feel ready to apply for membership.  He need not have much singing experience or be able to read music as there are other methods of learning the music.  Most members are amateur singers with a love of singing and performing a cappella harmonies predominately in the barbershop style and who enjoy the company of others with the same interests.  Additionally, we enjoy entertaining various groups in our community and, in so doing, provide support for several beneficial charities both nationally and locally.

 

How Do I Join?

Show up at one of our rehearsals.  You will be provided with musical scores and can join the chorus to see if you like it.  When you are ready and after having attended at least three rehearsals, you can apply for membership and will be auditioned.

 

Come to A Rehearsal

The chapter meets and rehearses each Tuesday evening at 7:00 PM at Zion Lutheran Church, 3410 6th Avenue, Tacoma, Washington. If you are in or near Tacoma, please drop by one of our rehearsals to either listen or to join us in the joy of singing.  Everyone is welcome and deserves to experience the fellowship, camaraderie and just plain fun of singing Barbershop Harmony.

Here is the map web link to Zion Lutheran Church.

Please call, write or email us if you or someone you know wants to sing barbershop.
