Who we are
Some of us have sung for decades. Some of us started last month.
What we have in common is simple. We love to sing, and we love sharing the special sound of barbershop a cappella with other people. Four voices, no instruments — and when the chord locks in, you feel it in the room.
You will hear us at local nursing homes and senior communities, at community venues around Pensacola and along the coast, and in our own shows. Every spring we compete at the Harmony, Inc. Area 6 Convention and Contest, and when we qualify, we get to take the International Contest stage.
Mostly, we love our time together with our friends.

Giving back
A non-profit chorus, rooted here
White Sands A Cappella is a non-profit organization. Singing is the reason we gather, but it is not the only thing we do together — we support charities and neighbors in need right here in our own community.
That has meant volunteering at Blue Wahoos games, singing at holiday events along the bay, and turning up wherever an afternoon of harmony will do somebody good.
Sing with us
Our rehearsals are open
You do not need to audition to visit. You do not need to read music to start. You just need to like to sing — we will help you find your part and teach you the rest.
