In early December, 1980, five men who had previous barbershop experience gathered at the Pinecrest Inn's piano bar and agreed to organize a local barbershop chapter. On January 12, 1981 at 7:30pm our initial rehearsal began with 37 potential members.
On August 17, 1981 we received our official chapter charter, and each
year since the Chorus has presented a show designed to appeal to all
residents of the Sandhills and to raise money for charity. The
proceeds from these shows benefit both local and national charities.
The Chorus has contributed a total of $83,400 to the Sandhills
Children's Center and has donated more than $240,450.00 to charity since its founding.
As the Chorus has grown, it has become more widely recognized. We have performed at the Civic Center in Raleigh, in Fayetteville, and at many other locations in central North Carolina. The Chorus also performed
two shows in Hamlet as a benefit for the Roberdel School for Exceptional Children. The Chorus presently has about 40 to 50
members. The Chorus also has quartets available to entertain your group and to help us raise money for our charities.
