Welcome
to our Website!
The Barbershoppers
of Baton Rouge welcome you to our chapter website. We are Louisiana's premier ranked a cappella
men's chorus. Our Mission
is "to create an environment in which men with the ability and desire to
sing can make quality music together." Our group consists of men of all
ages and backgrounds, including high school students, who have made this
joyful and rich music a hobby that can last a lifetime. Barbershop harmony is
one of the few musical forms that originated in the United States.

have singing ability and enjoy singing with other men, now is a great time to
