Join Us!

The Totem-Aires is always looking for men who enjoy singing.  We have a place for everyone provided that they can carry a tune; after all, we are a singing organization.  Non-singers are also welcome should a person enjoy the fellowship and camaraderie of a fun loving men's group and/or who may be adept at performing some of the administrative requirements of such a group.  If you have ever thought of singing in your own quartet, there is no better place to find the other three parts but in a Barbershop chorus.  There are always exciting things occurring with the Totem-Aires and we would like YOU to be part of it.   Who Can Join? Almost all men can be prospective members of the Barbershop Harmony Society.  In Tacoma, a guest, if willing, will be listened to for voice placement upon first visiting and will be given a simple audition once they feel ready to apply for membership.  He need not have much singing experience or be able to read music as there are other methods of learning the music.  Most members are amateur singers with a love of singing and performing a cappella harmonies predominately in the barbershop style and who enjoy the company of others with the same interests.  Additionally, we enjoy entertaining various groups in our community and, in so doing, provide support for several beneficial charities both nationally and locally.   How Do I Join?

Come to A Rehearsal
The chapter meets and rehearses each Tuesday evening at 7:00 PM at the Elks Lodge, 1965 South Union Avenue, Tacoma, Washington 98405. You will be provided with musical scores and can join the chorus to see if you like it.  When you are ready and after having attended at least three rehearsals, you can apply for membership and will be auditioned.
