Historical Highlights
The "Tonecutters" chorus was originally established in the 1970s as the Bloomington, IN, chapter of the national barbershop society.
In 2008, the Bloomington chapter was reformed as Sounds of Indiana, with a mostly-new membership under the musical direction of Kurt Vogel.
Since then, SoI is proud to list the largest number of chorus appearances at Cardinal District's semiannual convention.
