Originating in September 1976 with just eight men wanting to sing four-part harmony, the group grew over the years to its present 71 members with the title of Desert Aires Barbershop Chorus. The chorus joined the 'Barbershop Harmony Society' (formerly S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A), receiving its charter in May of 1996, as the Sun Cities Chapter D-101.
The Chorus has presented annual concerts for twenty-nine consecutive years, and has performed hundreds of times for various groups, as well as donating performances for charitable organizations and the Sun Cities Recreation Centers functions. They have contributed substantial amounts to local charities each year.
Under the leadership of their Director, Jerry Roland the Chorus is achieving new heights in performance levels, the Chorus Won Plateau A at the Far Western District Division 5 competition in April 2009. Jerry Roland, in his second year as Director has extensive directing experience, and has been a boon to the Chapter.
Men who love to sing are invited to join the Chorus any Tuesday afternoon at 12:30pm, at the Sun City Christian Church, located at 98th Avenue and Palmeras Drive in Sun City.
