Great Lakes Chorus
The Great Lakes Chorus was formed in 1938, and in 1947 was chartered as the official Grand Rapids chapter of what was then known as the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America (now the Barbershop Harmony Society). The chorus offers men the opportunity to learn barbershop harmony in a large group, helps them develop their skills, and encourages them to sing in quartets.
