The 26 men who formed the Daniel Boone Chorus in January 1963 were much bigger pioneers than they ever knew.
Fifty years later, that small barbershop chorus would grow to 160 singers, win three international chorus competitions and move audiences to tears and joy with its music.
On Sept. 7, the Ambassadors of Harmony will celebrate 50 years of fellowship and creating great choral music. AOH is planning a special evening with family, friends and former members who have given so much to the chorus over the years. Here's to at least 50 more!
