Better together
Barbershop is best shared. These are the choruses we sing with, cheer for and share the stage with. Go hear them, and if you sing, go sing with them too.

Our neighbors in harmony
The Westminster Chorus
Men's barbershop chorus · La Mirada, California
The Westminster Chorus is the men's performance and competition chorus of the Barbershop Harmony Society's Westminster chapter, formed in 2002 to give young men a place to sing barbershop.
Many of its singers first found barbershop at the Young Men in Harmony festivals the Masters hosted, and over the years plenty of men have sung in both choruses. We have shared the stage often, from our 2009 holiday show at the Carpenter Center in Long Beach to a joint spring show at the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse in 2011.
