    Description: Try-It-Outs / Open House / Guest Night
    Come Go With Me'  to the HarmonyTown Guest Night. You'll be "Hooked On A Feeling" that only can be found by singing in four-part barbershop harmony!

    Come experience what singing barbershop is all about! It’s easy and the rewards are many. Men of all vocal experience levels are welcome to join us (free of charge) for a fun evening of songs where we’ll introduce you to barbershop style acapella singing. 

    Frequently asked questions:

    --What is the music we are learning going to be like?
    We have chosen "Hooked On A Feeling", the familiar & fun classic song (think ooga-chaka, ooga ooga ooga-chaka!) from the 60's. We will teach you the notes for one part and help you get the feeling of 4 part harmony when we combine the parts together.

    --What will the night be like?
    We will do a brief introduction then get right into warm ups. After warm ups, we will listen to the song featured that night and then go to a sectional rehearsal. We utilize learning tracks (listening) to teach the music. You do not need to know how to read the music.

    --What do I need to bring with me?
    Honestly, nothing really. A smile, a good attitude and willingness to learn.

    --How much will this really cost me?
    Nothing. No deposits. No money requested. No fee at the end of the night.
    As a chorus, we have membership fees if someone decides they want to continue with the group and join us as a member. Those details can be discussed if someone is interested in more than just the 4 free workshops. Once the 4 workshop weeks are over, we do not require membership to join us at rehearsals. We strongly encourage you to come back and join our regular Tuesday night rehearsals. If you wish to continue and join, we can discuss the cost then. We are honestly not trying to push anyone to become a member, unless they wish to do so.

    --Do I need to do anything before I come?
    No. If you want to speak with someone, Allen or Eddie would be very happy to speak to you! Registration will take place when you arrive.

    --What if I don't know my voice part or range?
    No problem! We have members who can help voice place you so you sing the part that best fits your range. It's not an audition, Think of it like trying on shoes. You want the shoe that fits best.
