The Hays High Plains Barbershop Chapter is looking forward to its 52nd annual show — "Sing Sing Sing 2020" — to be presented April 4 at Beach/Schmidt Performing Arts Center on the Fort Hays State campus.

There will be two shows, at 2 and 7 p.m. Joining the chorus on stage for this 52nd annual show will be the headline quartet of the Barbershop Society's 2009 International Champions “CROSSROADS." It will also include local quartets Prairie Timber, Uncalled Four, and The Fort Hays Singers. Full Chord Press Boys Choir will perform the evening show. 

“We are all very excited about this year’s show, since this is our 52nd year of presenting the very finest of barbershop music to the patrons of the Central States District," said Vance Chartier, show co-chair. "We are also delighted to have our chapter coach, Dr. Terry Crull, the Director of Choral Activities at Ft. Hays State University, emcee our event this year."

The chorus always looks forward to singing with the headliners and local quartets at this event because it helps further the chapter’s primary goal of fostering the growth of community singing and help provide scholarships to young people who love to sing. The success of this show annually also helps provide thousands of dollars to various schools, singing groups, and other organizations that help people with special needs. The chapter membership is currently in the process of selling advertising in the show program to support this important event. Nearly 2,000 people attend the show each year, and the advertisers make this event possible. The chapter is thankful for the community support.
