The Stevens Point chapter was chartered in 1953 with help and mentoring from the Wisconsin Rapids chapter. 

 

The chorus is a regular contender at the Packerland Division and Land O’ Lakes District competitions, bringing home a number of AA championships over the years.  We also took the blue ribbon for the national championship at the 2004 Buckeye Invitational in the small chorus division.

 

Here are some of the people who have played a part in the chapter over the years.

 

Barbershopper Of The Year (BOTY) is a prestigious activity award for the member who has participated the most in the joy that is barbershop singing.
