 The Grand Strand Harmony Chorus , a small but enthusiastic group who share the love of barbershop harmony, started in August, 1995 and received its official charter from Sweet Adelines International in 1997. That same year the ladies participated in their first regional competition where they won the “Novice Chorus Award”. The next year at competition they won the “Most Improved Chorus Award”.
After returning from competition, the chorus continued to grow and expand its repertoire with songs ranging from upbeat tunes complete with choreography to heart rending ballads, old favorites to contemporary songs, all sung “a cappella” in the distinctive four-part barbershop style (tenor, lead, baritone, bass).
Over the years the chorus has performed at various places in the area including the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, several shopping malls, the Italian Festival, Brookgreen Gardens, Theatre of the Republic, Low Country Men’s Barbershop Annual Show, area churches and schools, etc. and during the month of December the chorus sings at many nursing homes in the area.
At the beginning of year 2009, the chorus membership had decreased to a total of four with no director.
By April of 2009, the membership had increased to fifteen members and had a full time director. GSH was back on the road to bigger and better things. The chorus had its first performance on September 1st, 2009. What a great feeling to be able to perform once again. With the help and support of the public, the chorus will be back singing for the places where we once sang. Check out our performances in the box to the right. |
