Chapters seeking Front-Line Directors:
  • The Mainliners
    The Mainliners Chorus was founded in 1963 as the Bryn Mawr Chapter. After 30 years, Rick Serpico, our front line musical director, has decided to retire. Backed by a strong music leadership team including Bill Oppenheim and Doug Pratt as Associate Directors, the Mainliners are looking for a new, energetic front-line director to take us into the next decade and beyond.

    We are a dedicated, smaller, TTBB chorus with big chorus roots, having performed on the Barbershop Harmony Society's international stage four times in the last 60 years. A two-time Mid-Atlantic District chorus champion, we have won the MAD Central Division first place AAA chorus many times in the last few years. Our membership, while comfortable in competition, really has their hearts in performing for folks in our community to share our love for men’s a cappella music. Each year we put on both a Spring Show and a Christmas show. We are the longest standing act that performs at Delaware County’s huge summer concert festival at Rose Tree Park. In 2023, we had nearly 20 outside performances in our community, not including performances from our chapter quartets.

    Our repertoire spans the decades from traditional barbershop songs, show tunes, pop songs, gospel and religious numbers, patriotic songs, and more. Our songs are highly recognizable and entertaining.
    We rehearse in the western Philadelphia suburbs (called the “mainline” of Philadelphia) at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 1105 E Lincoln Hwy, Exton, PA 19341 every Monday from 7-10pm.

    We invite interested candidates to email their CV/musical background to directorsearch@mainliners.org or contact Jeff Porter at 610-202-7676. We can offer a competitive compensation package for the right candidate. http://www.mainliners.org

  • Bay Country Gentlemen
    The Bay Country Gentlemen, Harford County Chapter, is located in Bel Air MD. We conduct our rehearsal meetings in the Emmanuel Episcopal Church Parish Hall, corner of N. Main Street and Broadway, Monday evenings at 7:30 pm. We are a small Chapter of 10-13 active singers who are anxious to grow again. Our primary goal is to be able to reach out in our community and share the joy that the Barbershop style of singing has brought to us. We enjoy performing and shows, and while we have competed in the past, competition is not our focus.

We rehearse on Monday evenings from 7:30-9:30. Our primary goal is to grow and provide good performances to the community that we serve.
