The Pride of Mobile Chorus is an all-male barbershop chorus consisting of approximately 20 men. It was chartered in 1956 as the Mobile Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society. As such, it is part of the one of the largest non-profit groups in America with over 31,000 members. It is the only men’s chorus of this type in the Mobile area.
The chorus is devoted to singing America’s unique barbershop style of music that originated in the late 1800’s when for entertainment, men congregated in barbershops or on street corners to sing in close harmony. It’s repertoire includes the classic songs of the early 1900’s as well as many modern compositions. From patriotic numbers to religious songs, to love songs, to up tunes to ballads, it’s repertoire is sure to include something to please any ear.
The chorus performs for many civic and charitable functions throughout the Mobile area. It’s principle financial support is through annual dues, annual shows, Singing Valentines and paid performances for conventions, etc. |
