"Dear Downeasters, what a treat it was to hold a show in Augusta in September after a long 3 years hiatus of no concerts! We were pleased to have a few Downeasters in attendance, so thank you to you who were there. Our mixed Barbershop Chorus is 18 strong and doing great, this their 2nd show since formed in 2019! We hope to have more Downeasters at our annual Chapter Show, October 15th at 2pm, see details below in your calendar. Barbershop is definitely back! Come see us!”
