Who are the Sounds of Indiana?
The "Sounds of Indiana" is an award-winning male chorus consisting of members who reside in Monroe, Lawrence, and Green Counties in southern Indiana.
The chorus sings harmonies predominantly in the barbershop style. All singers are welcome, male and/or female identifying singers! We meet weekly to rehearse a variety of singing and performance skills. We also take pride in our affiliation with the world's largest singing fraternity, the Barbershop Harmony Society. At BHS's Cardinal District Spring 2019 Convention, we were awarded "Most Improved Chorus."
Our music is fun-filled, "G-rated", family-style entertainment! In the past, the Sounds of Indiana has supported our community with performances at local hospitals, nursing homes, charity fund raisers, and for various organizations throughout Bloomington and the surrounding counties. In the summer of 2022, we sang the national anthem at the Indianapolis Indians game, and were invited back to sing this season!
We also have performed in a great variety of locations ranging from retirement homes to county fairs, at many churches where we fill in for choirs, and at local elementary and high schools, plus many private venues.
Finally, we give free vocal lessons and music education to all who attend our 7:00 PM Wednesday rehearsals at First United Church in Bloomington.
