Barrie County Chordsmen
227 Sunnidale L4M 3B9 Barrie, ON, Canada

We’re looking forward to getting back to rehearsals and performances. Not being able to sing due to Covid19 has been very difficult for everyone in our chorus. We love to perform, but regretfully our 2020 fundraising show in September has been cancelled. With the loss of revenue from our show we are extremely grateful to the ongoing funding made available to groups like ours through Delta Bingo and Gaming. Several of our members volunteer at Delta Bingo and Gaming in downtow...n Barrie, and in return our group receives a share in the profits. These funds have been instrumental in allowing us to bring our special style of a Capella music to the people of Simcoe County through performances at local retirement centers, RVH, churches and more. Money received is used in many ways, such as purchasing new music, coaching and uniforms to improve our performances. We have also used them to support local charities and music events, such as the Barrie Music festival and the Orillia Kiwanis Music Festival and to run educational vocal workshops for local elementary and high school students. A good portion of the funds have also gone to the charity which we have supported for over 40 years, Harmonize for Speech. Harmonize for speech provides funds for numerous speech-related projects, equipment at hospitals, clinics and treatment centres throughout Ontario and scholarships for students. Georgian college received $50,000 for the Speech, Hearing and language clinic at their new Health and Wellness Centre in Barrie in 2011-12, and Harmonize for Speech provides ongoing financial support for students in the Communicative Disorders Assistant Program. A big THANK YOU to Delta Bingo and Gaming for their support of the Barrie County Chordsmen!

Another great idea for bringing the world together through song!

A great opportunity for Barbershoppers to come together online when they cannot do so in person!

Wishing you all an amazing Canada Day today!

A good read for singers hoping to get back to rehearsing and performing.
