On March 22, 1982, our first public meeting was held, and by October 29, 1982 we had the necessary twenty men who were willing to pay dues to obtain a license to operate as a chapter in the Society.  Membership continued to grow and the name Valentine City Chorus was chosen.  On September 7, 1983 we received our chapter charter.  Today, we continue to promote and perpetuate barbershop singing, and our chorus has been heard throughout our communities at many functions, both public and private.  For Valentine’s Day, we form quartets and make ourselves available to deliver singing valentines, which usually consist of two love songs, a card, a rose, and one very surprised Sweetheart.  In the fall, we have the opportunity to compete with other Rocky Mountain District barbershop choruses.  Winners can advance to sing in the Society’s international competition the following summer.  Both the Valentine City Chorus and our quartets are available to entertain for special events for families, companies, public groups, government organizations, schools, or anyone else that may be interested.
