About us
The Banks of the Wabash Chorus is a men's Barbershop Chorus.
We enjoy singing in that special form of a-cappella music called "Barbershop".
We
are the Terre Haute chapter of the Society for the Preservation and
Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America (SPEBSQSA).
We are part of the
Cardinal
District, which includes all of Indiana and Kentucky. For more information about
history of our chorus, click here
What is Barbershop?
Technically speaking, Barbershop harmony is a style of unaccompanied singing
with three voices harmonizing to the melody. The lead usually sings the melody,
with the tenor harmonizing above the lead. The bass sings the lowest harmonizing
notes and the baritone provides in-between notes, either above or below the lead
to make chords (specifically, dominant-type or "Barbershop" sevenths) that give
Barbershop its distinctive, "full" sound. For more information about origins of our barbershop singing style, click here
Can We Entertain You?
We are always available to sing out or entertain, either our full Chorus of
some 50 men, or with a Quartet.
