Satellite Chorus Rehearsals...
Central Florida Rehearsals Begin

  March 11, 2012 - Big Orange Chorus members and guests met in Orlando for a satellite rehearsal.  The kick-off was attended by 45 men who shared an evening of fun, fellowship and camaraderie which makes barbershop harmony so enjoyable.  Our next Orlando rehearsal will be on Sunday, March 25th, and more are planned.


Singing Valentines 2012...
Chorus Quartets Serenade Jacksonville Sweethearts

  Valentines Day, 2012 - Big Orange Chorus quartets covered northeastern Florida with messages of love, admiration, and appreciation.  The program was tremendously popular this year with many repeat customers combined with increased media interest and coverage.  Due to tremendous demand it became necessary to stop taking orders mid-day on February 13th and thereby made the 2012
Singing Valentines program the most successful to date.  Based on the success of the 2012 program, adjustments and improvements will be considered so that it will be possible to serve an even larger audience in 2013.  Thanks go out to everyone who purchased a Singing Valentine.

The Big Orange Chorus is a fun and friendly group of guys who enjoy singing barbershop and other styles of music.  As a chapter of the international Barbershop Harmony Society, we perform frequently in the Jacksonville community.  Membership in our chorus is open to men of all ages who like to sing.

Our goal is to produce quality singing in a fun and entertaining way.  We offer an  opportunity for men to learn and improve their vocal abilities while performing in the local community under the auspices of an international organization.  We are growing and are presently looking for male singers in all voice parts.

Chorus rehearsals are usually held at Shepherd of the Woods Lutheran Church in Jacksonville on Thursday nights at 7:30pm, however certain special events and special performances require that we occasionally hold rehearsals on Monday nights.  Guests should always call us at (904) 355-SING or check the Chorus Calendar and the list below for specific rehearsal dates prior to planning a visit.

Keep checking this site for news on the progress of The Big Orange Chorus, Florida's championship and internationally-ranked mens barbershop chorus.
