The Big Apple Chorus
Welcome to our new
Big Apple Chorus
Web Site.
We hope that it brings a smile to your day – a story or two to tell others – and a desire to visit us whenever you’re in town. We’ve added a pile of pictures to better reveal who we really are J and -- we intend to change and add to them frequently in the hopes that you’ll return often to see and read more about our Big Apple Chorus.
While our site is hopefully easy to navigate – not everything is as apparent as the Events, Contact Us, Join Us and other great stuff at the top of every page. For example – you can see our What’s Hot! Page One News: section right here in the middle of our home page – but – you’ll only see all the good stuff, including lots of pictures – if you click on the listed News Headlines; for example – Looking for a really good Barbershop Quartet. I could list the other Headlines that you see there now but I won’t, since all of the others will be frequently deleted and replaced with new stories.
Since you already knew that all of the blue print text is links to other pages – here’s a few more of the many you’ll find throughout the site. How about our Current Repertoire and a peek at some of the music we’ll be learning next? Want to meet our Music Team? Lots of people would like to read your comments, so please – go to our Guest Book -- scroll down till you see Leave a comment and – you know – leave a comment.J.
Our twisted Web Masters have shared with me some of their other insane ideas for this site. For now all I dare say is – come back often and --- enjoy.

Who Are These Guys?
Whoever first said “there’s only one Big Apple” was most assuredly referring to the greatest city in the world – New York. Now – we’d like to think that if that silver tongued devil were to visit Manhattan – he or she would say – “there’s only one Big Apple Chorus”.
Since it’s beginnings – the Big Apple Chorus – has been blessed with innovative leaders whose vision of “Bringing the Best of Broadway to Barbershop and the Best of Barbershop to Broadway” – has created one of the most surprising and entertaining a cappella choruses in the world.
The BAC is -- without a doubt -- one of the most fun loving chapters in the Barbershop Harmony Society. Living in New York City presents the BAC with a pile of unique opportunities -- which we enjoy immensely -- and some would say joyfully exploit -- as we insert a little "Noo Yawk" attitude into all of our performances."Hey -- you got a problem wid dat?"
When it was founded in 1983 no one could have imagined that the Big Apple Chorus was going to make the kind of impact that would propel it through over 25 years of extraordinary musical performances. Its members have always been, after all, just ordinary men – husbands, sons, fathers and brothers. And – most have no formal musical training.
Our members hail from New York City, of course, but they also travel from Northern and Southern New Jersey, Connecticut, Westchester, the entire span of Long Island and from as far North as Saratoga Springs, New York.
They come from every walk of life – students, teachers, laborers, professionals, executives and retirees – with an ethnic and cultural diversity that mirrors the great city our chorus so proudly represents – New York!
“Once a BACman – always a BACman” is another BAC phenomenon. Our supportive alumni are spread throughout the United States and around the Globe. Cont'd Who Are These Guys?
