Barber shop quartets, a
very popular form of en-
tertainment, are certainly
not as numerous as in their
organization determined to
preserve this American
style of music...the Society
for Preservation and
Encouragement of Barber
Shop Quarter Singing in
America. ’
The international
organization was founded
by Owen C. Cash and co-
founder Rupert Hall 40
years ago to ‘‘perpetuate
an old American in-
stitution, barber shop
quartet and invoke vocal
harmony and good
fellowship among its
members’.
Today SPEBSQSA has a
membership of 38,000
members from every state
in the United States and
some Canadian Provinces.
There are 780 chapters that
range in size from 25 to 200
members. There are 16
districts, the largest being
with a membership of 5,000
members. Local members
belong to this district.
The organization has no
are tested for voice
placement when an in-
dividual joins, but having a
voice like a professional is
not necessary. °
In addition to singing for
many audiences in
hospitals, at bazaars, and
banquets, our local chapter
presents two concerts each
year, one in the spring, the
other in Mid-August. Some
proceeds from these
concerts are donated to the
Institute of Logopedics,
fering from com-
municative handicaps.
Their slogan for this en-
deavor is ‘‘we sing that
they shall speak’.
The Institute of
Logopedics assists those
with problems of delayed
speech, and language,
stuttering, articulatory
defects, cerebral palsy,
learning disabilities,
hearing loss, aphasia, cleft
and mental
retardation.
Since : 1964, SPEBSQSA
has earned in excess of $2
million for the Institute.
