This General Information section provides you with a description of our music program, and information on how to join. It concludes with a few samples of timeless barbershop music. The Suncoast Statesmen is a mixed chorus that grows to twenty plus members during our concert season. Although we function on an annual basis, we do experience a significant drop off in attendance during the summer months as many members return to other homes throughout the United States and Canada. This has resulted in us developing a tripartite music program that is explained more thoroughly in this section. It also necessitates some rehearsal modifications. While all rehearsals are held on Tuesdays at the Burnt Store Presbyterian Church, rehearsal times change during the year. We open our season in early September, with rehearsals held every Tuesday at 2:00PM during September and October. From November through March, we switch to Tuesday evening rehearsals beginning at 7:00PM.  During April, we revert to the 2:00PM Tuesday afternoon rehearsal format before taking a four month break during May through August. Directions to the church can be found on the Home Page or at the bottom of this section. We encourage you to pay us a visit; we would love to have you as our guest!
