This is our page to promote and inform about the Mainely Music Chorus, the Bangor, Maine, chapter of
(7)

One summer night in 1972, three wandering Barbershoppers met in the old Bangor House. This meeting occurred because of a yearning to once again enjoy a special four-part music. There was no doubt in any of their minds that Bangor men should sing this structured harmony in addition to their church choirs and car-radio sing-a-longs

Thus began a performing group originally named “The Penobscot Count

y Chapter of Barbershoppers.” A name change, The Mainely Music Chorus, was made in 1990 to reflect the geographic diversity of its membership. Throughout the succeeding years, the Chapter has not only presented an annual show, but through its quartets and octets, as well as it’s full chorus participated in countless civic club benefits, nursing homes, Valentine presentations, fairs and even funerals. Hockey games, basketball games, baseball games, Christmas sing-outs in both St. Joseph and Eastern Maine, and many other community organizations have benefited from this Chapter’s music. We are a community of singers dedicated to helping others enjoy our special music.

Do you enjoy singing and sharing songs with others? During the month of December our chorus visits area nursing homes to spread the joy with some Christmas caroling. We welcome people who would like to join us and learn more about the barbershop style of music.

We rehearse Monday evenings at the Bangor Parks & Recreational Building on Main Street starting at 6:30 p.m. October 21st through the month of November we will be reviewing the Christmas carols in preparation for our December sing outs. Please join us or send us a message if you have any questions.

Some of you may remember my wonderful wife Lana.
today is the 5th anniversary of her passing so I thought I would share some of her musical photos.
She had the most beautiful voice and we loved singing together. She had a special passion for Barbershop and we had the opportunity to quartet together and it was absolutely wonderful.

Up tempo was invited for the second year to sing for the U.S. Naturalization ceremony. What a thrill it was to see 61 new U.S. citizens taking the pledge in 2 ceremonies this morning.

Here is one of the quartets singing I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow. Nice Job Up Tempo

Towards the end of each rehearsal, we have quartets sing a song or two. Sometimes the quartet rehearses regularly such this quartet called Up Tempo which performs at private functions such as funerals, weddings or singing Valentines. See our website if you would like to book them.

We sing because we love to but also because we love to bring joy to others, In June we will take our music on the road and visit the Maine Veterans Home. In October we have plans for our next show. More details to come.

At the end of each rehearsal we gather around to sing "Keep the Whole World Singing". If you would like to sing with our group please join us Monday nights, 6:30 at the Parks and Rec building in Bangor.
