The Thoroughbred Chorus
The Thoroughbreds are a seven-time international champion chorus that is part of the Barbershop Harmony Society. The Thoroughbreds won the international championship in 1962, 1966, 1969, 1974, 1978, 1981, and in 1984. The chapter has also produced several championship quartets including the Bluegrass Student Union, Interstate Rivals, Second Edition and The Barons.
We are dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in singing barbershop harmony, and we are always looking for men of good character who are good singers to join our ranks. The chorus rehearses regularly on Monday nights at 7:00 p.m. at our own hall located in historic Jeffersontown at 10609 Watterson Trail.
