THE
CHORDMASTERS
The Chordmasters, all members of the
Arlingtones Barbershop Chorus, have been ringing chords throughout the Northwest Suburbs since Valentine's Day of 2001.
In the last six years, we have performed in Lake Zurich, Waukegan, Lake Forest, Bannockburn, Vernon Hills, Lincolnshire, Glencoe,
Evanston, Niles, Chicago, Lombard, Palos Heights, Itasca, Naperville, Bartlett, Aurora, Arlington Heights, Palatine, Rolling
Meadows, Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, Elmhurst, Minooka, and a few other places in between. We have sung for "village
days", business functions, Christmas parties, retirement homes, family reunions, veterans' groups, property owners' associations,
volunteer appreciations lunches, ice cream socials, church suppers, birthday parties , and various other functions.
In the spring of 2004, we participated
in SPEBSQSA's Illinois District contest and were pleased to win first place in the novice division.
Our songs, while primarily in the barbershop
style of harmony, vary from the the oldies such as "Aura Lee", to the Beatles' "When I'm Sixty-four", and from the serious
"Precious Lord" to the light-hearted "Please Mr. Columbus, Turn the Ship Around."
We try to customize our music to fit
the occasion and when appropiate, encourage audience participation. Interested? Please check out our website at chordmasters.net.
