Sault Ste. Marie Chapter


Come North, fellow Pioneer Barbershop fans! Experience the thrill of April in Northern Ontario - a time when Old Man Winter mocks those poor souls who think spring is nigh! However, the snow is almost certain to have melted down far enough by then so I can find where I parked my car last November!

The Northland Barbershop Chorus of Sault Ste Marie, Ontario is presenting our 44th annual show on April 5 entitled: G.I. Jukebox - Music from the WW II Era - a show in the style of the USO Camp Shows that were presented at military bases and in combat areas throughout the war. By 1945, USO curtains were rising 700 times a day to audiences as large as 15,000 and as small as 25 in outposts all over the world. More than 7,000 entertainers travelled overseas, but none was more recognized or more loved than Bob Hope. Through the music of Vera Lynn, Doris Day, The Andrews Sisters and many more, we salute Bob and pay tribute to the men and women who served, and who continue to serve, in the armed forces.

A special feature of this show will be the anticipated involvement of veteran's groups and active-duty military service personnel from both the Canadian and American sides. Tickets will be offered at half price ($10 vs $20) to any service person attending in uniform, whether veteran or active-duty. They
