🚨 IMPORTANT REHEARSAL UPDATE 🚨

For the health and safety of our members, tonight's rehearsal (Wednesday, July 15) will be held via Zoom due to the combination of smoke, high temperatures, and humidity.

🎶 Same time. Same harmony. Just from home!

If you need the Zoom link, please email Sandy at [email protected], and she'll be happy to send it to you.

Stay cool, stay safe, warm up those voices, and we'll see everyone online tonight! 💙❤️🎵

🎶 Oops... we're fashionably late! 😄🎶

Apparently, our harmonies were so perfectly in tune that we lost track of the calendar! While National Barbershop Music Appreciation Day was yesterday, July 13, we couldn't let the occasion pass without celebrating.

July 13 is a very special day in our barbershop family because it also marks the anniversary of the founding of Sweet Adelines International—now proudly known as SingUnited International. On July 13, 1945, a visionary group of women came together with one goal: to create opportunities for women to sing barbershop harmony. Eighty-one years later, that dream continues to inspire singers around the world... including us!

At Buffalo Gateway Chorus, we're proud to be part of that incredible legacy.

Every week we gather to...
🎵 Learn together.
🎵 Laugh together.
🎵 Grow together.
🎵 Create the kind of harmony that gives you goosebumps.

Barbershop is more than music—it's friendship, teamwork, encouragement, and the magical moment when four voice parts become one unforgettable sound.

So, even if we're a day late...

🎉 We're right on time to say THANK YOU to everyone who has helped keep this wonderful art form alive, and to celebrate the organization that has brought so much joy, friendship, and harmony into our lives.

Here's to the music that connects us, the friendships that sustain us, and the ringing chords that never get old.

💙 Happy (belated!) National Barbershop Music Appreciation Day!

And if you've ever wondered what all the excitement is about... come visit a rehearsal. We'd love to share the harmony with you. 💛

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July from Buffalo Gateway Chorus! 🎶

Today we celebrate more than fireworks, parades, and backyard gatherings—we celebrate 250 years of freedom, courage, resilience, and unity.

As we honor our nation’s semiquincentennial, we reflect with gratitude on the generations who helped build this country and the freedoms we enjoy today.

At Buffalo Gateway, we know there is something powerful about voices joining together in harmony. Music has a unique way of bringing people together, reminding us that even with our differences, we can create something beautiful when we stand united.

This Independence Day, we wish you and your loved ones a day filled with joy, gratitude, laughter, and cherished memories.

❤️ Proud of our past
🤍 Thankful for today
💙 Hopeful for tomorrow

From all of us at Buffalo Gateway Chorus, have a safe, blessed, and joyful Fourth of July!
