This year for our Annual Show, the DesertAires performed their "A New Old-Fashioned Barbershop Show" for an enthusiastic audience at the Sundial Auditorium.  Our members in colorful uniforms are shown above. 

    Our organization is dedicated to the preservation of the music style  known as  Barbershop  Harmony.  Although our average age is 76 years young, and our oldest member is 87, we strive to entertain and educate the West Valley about the music of the heralded "Tin Pan Alley " days.  Appearing at several Sun City Functions annually, as well as at  Care Facilities and Social Centers, we enjoy entertaining those who want to listen to great A'Cappella singing.  If you haven't had the opportunity to hear us, drop in on one of our meetings. 

    Originating in September 1976 with just eight men wanting to sing four-part harmony, the group grew over the years to its present  62 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-eight 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 Emeritus, Rich Thompson, the Chorus is achieving new heights in performance levels, the Chorus placed 7th (among 11) in the Far Western District Division 5 competition in April 2004.  With the retirement of Rich Thompson, we installed an Interim Director, Jerry Roland, who has extensive directing experience.

    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.
