Mainely Music Chorus This is our page to promote and inform about the Mainely Music Chorus, the Bangor, Maine, chapter of

One summer night in 1972, three wandering Barbershoppers met in the old Bangor House. This meeting occurred because of a yearning to once again enjoy a special four-part music. There was no doubt in any of their minds that Bangor men should sing this structured harmony in addition to their church choirs and car-radio sing-a-longs

Thus began a performing group originally named “The Penobscot Count

y Chapter of Barbershoppers.” A name change, The Mainely Music Chorus, was made in 1990 to reflect the geographic diversity of its membership. Throughout the succeeding years, the Chapter has not only presented an annual show, but through its quartets and octets, as well as it’s full chorus participated in countless civic club benefits, nursing homes, Valentine presentations, fairs and even funerals. Hockey games, basketball games, baseball games, Christmas sing-outs in both St. Joseph and Eastern Maine, and many other community organizations have benefited from this Chapter’s music. We are a community of singers dedicated to helping others enjoy our special music.

Last night was a good night for the Mainely Music Chorus. After a few rough weeks we had three new singers come on board last nigh. Bea and Mark have also recently returned.
The Bass section has gone from zero to three and the tenors are also now at three. I wonder what’s with the number 3?
Come and join in with our growth, all singers are welcome.

This came up as a memory from twelve years ago. Wow how have times have changed.
There are only a few left from this photo. The chourus is no longer just men only which I think is awsome and we’re singing a more contemporary flavor of music.
If you enjoy singing and like the idea of singing with a group of really fun people then give us a try. We meet Monday’s 5:45 at the Parks and Rec on Main Street in Bangor.
All are welcome.
P.S.
I’m the one in the back row making a face at the camera.

Probably the only photo of the Leighton Family quartet. Brother Darrell on the left, Dad (Bob) is next then myself, brother Gary on the right.
I think this would have been 1978 or 1979 as I had my pre Air Force hair.
