About The Boonslick Chordbusters

The Boonslick Chordbusters is a membership organization of male singers, who meet regularly to practice, perform and enjoy singing unaccompanied music in a style known as "Barbershop". We currently have about 30 singers of all ages, all walks of life, and all parts of Columbia and surrounding area.

Performance

The Boonslick Chordbusters Barbershop Chorus exists to provide and promote barbershop music, vocal harmony and fellowship through performances, education and community involvement. We sing at annual shows, a number of community events, and at competitions. We also deliver Singing Valentines and we are available to sing at your next function or event. If you're looking for a unique musical experience to liven up your event, please check out our Hire Us section.

Education

In addition to sharing our music with others, another great passion of ours is learning more about the art of a cappella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals, and a very important component of the chorus experience.

 

Competition Competitions are a special time for quartets and choruses from our Central States District to come together to sing for each other, and get some constructive feedback from a panel of judges. Qualifiers from the district competition in both quartet and chorus categories get to travel to International Competition, which is held in July in a city selected each year. In 2011, International Competition was held in Kansas City. Click here to learn more.

Quartets

We have a number of members who form their own vocal quartets in addition to singing with the chorus. The Boonslick Chordbusters is home to a number of wonderful quartets, and we are very proud of them! Click here to see our quartet section to learn more about them.
