While we are not an organization of professional singers, we do expect members to be able to sing in tune without vibrato, have an ear to listen to what's going on around you, and have a lot of fun doing it!

​

How to Join the Pathfinder Chorus

1. Attend three consecutive rehearsals

2. Audition with the leadership team

Let a member of the leadership team know you're interested. You'll demonstrate that you can sing well and hold your part within a quartet in front of some of the leadership team. 

• The audition song is the classic short piece "Keep the Whole World Singing".

• You're welcome to use the music during the audition if you wish.

• It's not a huge pressure situation, but it simply is a way to verify your commitment and readiness.

We also do some movement on the risers to enhance the visual portion of the production -- it's not terribly difficult -- and it takes some coordination on your part. We have a visual team in place to help you.

3. Complete Membership Details

After passing the audition, you’ll meet with our Secretary to complete a small amount of paperwork, discuss chapter dues and uniforms, and select your Man of Note, the person you feel was most instrumental in introducing you to the Barbershop Harmony Society.​

​

Additional Resources

While the ability to read music is a plus, it's not required. We provide state-of-the-art, part-specific learning tracks to help you learn your music and videos to help you with the moves.

 

You can also download the current Pathfinder Chorus Membership Guide (PDF), which includes:

• A brief history of the Pathfinders

• Our current organizational structure

• A complete overview of our membership process

• Chorus expectations and guidelines​

We look forward to welcoming you and know you'll enjoy your experience with the Pathfinder Chorus!
