Welcome to the Algona Cornbelt
Chorus website. The chorus is a member of the Barbershop Harmony
Society, formerly known as the Society for the Preservation and
Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America (SPEBSQSA).
Located in the Central States District, the chorus has been small chorus
champions for 8 years before moving from A division to AA division. The
chorus took eighth place in 2003 competing against AA and AAA choruses.
The chorus is made up of 40+ members within a 60 mile radius of
Algona. Luke Miller is the Chorus Director. Chapter
Meetings/Practice is held every Thursday evening, 7:30-9:30 at the
Methodist Church, 201 E Nebraska, in Algona, IA in the Wesley room
(1 block south of downtown). The chorus extends a warm welcome to
any male singer in our region to drop in as a guest, spend and
enjoyable evening meeting new people, singing and having good time.
You will feel right at home. You will find us on
FACEBOOK (Algona
Cornbelt Chorus), too. We hope you pay us a visit in the near
future.
In case you’re wondering…..90% of the chorus members cannot read
music. We provide Learning CD’s to make song learning fast and easy.
The
Cornbelt Chorus presents a spring show each year and participates in
fall district contest. The chorus also has a
Valentines Day fundraiser.
A quartet dressed in tuxedos will sing a song or two for the sender’s
sweetheart, present them with a rose and a Valentines Day card from the
sender. The chorus is available to perform at shows, events and special
meetings in Algona and the surrounding communities.
