The Chorus also makes frequent appearances for charitable and community functions. They have sung at many area retirement centers and plan to sing at several area churches in the near future.
The Englewood Barbershoppers are known for their charitable contributions. Since 1999, the Chapter has donated more than $50,000 to local and national charities. Over half of this amount was given to graduates of local highs schools in the form of scholarships to assist them in their academic studies.
Rehearsals are held at 6:30 each Thursday evening at the Christ Lutheran Church, 701 State Road 776 (Indiana Avenue) in Englewood, Florida. We welcome guests at every rehearsal, call Ray Schmidt at 488-1839 or Jac Slight at 493-6417, or e-mail sarjac@hotmail.com for more information.
The chorus has performed with the Boca Grande Barbershop Chorus on several occasions in the past seasons. Click HEREto learn of upcoming events on the Boca Chorus schedule.
Men of all ages, from all walks of life, who love to sing... Fans and friends who thrill to the sound of four-part harmony... The Barbershop Harmony Society extends the opportunity to participate in this great hobby world-wide. Take a few minutes and explore the the Englewood Chapter and its chorus, The Lemon Bay Chord Company!
The Lemon Bay Chord Company was formed in the fall of 1993. A little more than a year later, the Chorus gave its first annual show and began building its large and supportive audience.
Since then, the Chorus has presented a show each spring. Our fourteenth anniversary show, "Phantom of the Barbershop" was held at the Lemon Bay High Center for the Performing Arts February 23, 2008. Our special guest quartet was the "Wiseguys." Chapter quartets "Suncoast Harmony","Lemon Bay Blend" and "Sound Waves" were on hand to complete the program of fun and harmony.
