To every man who reads this, we say, "Come join the world's largest singing organization, The Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, Inc." ...and treat yourself by being part of the Bidwell Generals chorus! The Society boasts a membership of nearly 35,000 men throughout North America and has affiliates the world over. Members belong to some 800 chapters, just like the Chico, California Chapter.

If you love to sing and are looking for a chance to perform pure American music, we urge you to join us and share in the fun.

Chapter meetings and chorus rehearsals are held every Thursday evening at 7:00pm at Chico Veterans Memorial Hall 554 Rio Lindo Av., Chico, CA. You can use our handy on-line map for directions to our rehearsal site. We'll be at the door to greet you so you can share in this unique experience.

After our chorus rehearsal, some of the chorus members form quartets and sing just for the fun of it. We encourage you to be part of this unique singing experience. You may be surprised how well you'll do! Once you've sung four part harmony ... you'll be hooked for life !

We invite you to visit us any Thursday evening to just listen...or better yet...sing along and help us accomplish our purpose, as stated in our Society's Theme Song, "Keep the Whole World Singing!"
