Mixed Voice Barbershop Chorus

Based in Santa Cruz, CA

Organized in October, 1989 (shortly after the big earthquake), the Gold Standard Chorus has had many local performances and participated in District competitions. We've sung along the route at a few Wharf-to-Wharf races, Scotts Valley's Christmas Tree lighting ceremonies, various residential facilities, and at two annual concerts. We also do annual Valengrams (singing Valentines) deliveries, and, most importantly, have a good time singing.

Founded - 1989.   A Cappella.   Non Audition.

Audition Policy - A gentle audition is required. We assess vocal range (for correct part placement), and ability to match pitch, but we are a supportive group that aims to develop the skills of experienced and novice singers alike. Visitors are welcome at our rehearsals, and encouraged to audition after several visits. We also welcome non-singers who enjoy harmony and would like to volunteer with the group.

Rehearsal Information - We meet every Wednesday from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. at Kirby School, 425 Encinal Street. Enter off the cul-de-sac at the end of Encinal.
