If you're part of the barbershop community in the Northwest, they don't need last names for you to know who we mean. Big thanks to Phil Grant and Donya Metzger for joining Rain City Voices as we polish our district songs! The are a fantastic one-two punch of a duo, and we had a great time focusing on both resonance matching AND embodying the character of an alien.

We had so much fun celebrating again this year with Aegis Living at their second annual Great Summer Social! Congratulations on a great event!

THANK YOU, Jamie for all you put into Starbershop! And, though it may go without saying, we've gotta say it. From script idea / writing to weekly rehear

Some of our chorus members have been in Denver this week, meeting with barbershoppers from all over the world to learn, sing, and grow...

You probably haven't heard of RCV's Angel Fund... This has, up to now, been an entirely internal program in which chorus members contribute to a fund, which is used on behalf of members for whom some of our programs and activities might be financially out of reach. A handful of our members got support to attend Harmony University last summer, for example, and that was an incredible journey for the chorus. We were so glad to have so many of us participate! Now, for the first t
