Who are we?  We are the Harrisburg, IL chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society.  The Barbershop Harmony Society is an International organization with more than 30,000 members around the world.  Men of all ages and all walks of life comprise our ranks, with one thing in common - we all enjoy singing Barbershop music.   The Barbershop musical style is an American art form.  We strive to preserve the style and keep it alive worldwide by actively singing and encouraging others to do so.

What we do:  We provide the opportunity and encouragement for members to sing in our chorus and in a quartet.  We provide the music and the instructions needed to learn the music.  We perform for various organizations with our Chapter chorus and quartets.  We produce an annual show.  We enter singing contests sponsored by our Society.  We offer professional entertainment enjoyed by the entire family.  We support our chosen charity, the Harmony Foundation, and local programs of public interest. 

Why we do it:  It's fun!  Barbershop Harmony is for men who like to sing and who enjoy the sound of male voices blending chords in the Barbershop style.  Singing helps you forget your worries and makes you feel good my improving your attitude toward life and your fellow man.  Singing allows you to share something you enjoy with others.  Barbershop Harmony expresses a message from an era when people enjoyed the simpler pleasures of life.  Singing is good for your health.   Take the time to sing.  Better yet, come sing with us!!Brien Molloy awarded Shawnee Hills Chorus 2006 Music Scholarship Award!
