Our Featured Quartets
Our Featured Quartets
KC Prime
Tone-Henge
KC Prime is a quartet of veteran barbershoppers. Three were
members of Special Touch, our 1984 Central States District champs, a
Society International semifinalist and popular show quartet from the
early 1980s into the early ‘90s.
David Krause is the lead singer, Rick Kready the tenor and Matt Moore
switched from bass to baritone to sing in this new group. Brian Bellof is
the bass, also sings with Pinnacle, and formerly held down the bass with
CSD champion 3 Men & a Melody.
Brian is a public school music teacher in the Park Hill Schools. Matt
is an officer in the James B. Nutter Company in KC, while Rick works for
a historical construction firm in Topeka, KS. David is a retired teacher
who now works as a musical director and coach. Both he and Rick direct
barbershop choruses.
Tenor: (most of the time) Bruce Wenner. Actually a baritone, but who
cares. Retired head of the mathematics department at the University of
Missouri, Kansas City. Studied under Copernicus. The quartet’s arranger,
‘cause he can tell a B-flat from whatever else there is. Remembers
important stuff, like, “Pie are square”.
Lead: (some of the time) Dan Henry. Actually a baritone, but can’t tell
the difference. Retired TV weather reporter who once accurately stated,
“Tonight it will be dark.” Older than dirt. Invented rope. Quartet’s arranger
when song is in the key of R-sharp.
Baritone: (once in a while) Jim Bagby. Actually a baritone. (We messed
up.) Retired Associated Press broadcast journalist, thus serves as lyricist
for songs the quartet hums. Barbershop gold medal winner, so says, “Nya,
nya, nya” a lot. Once performed for Queen Victoria, hence the phrase, “We
are not amused.”
Bass: (most of the time) Keith Schweer. Actually a baritone but thinks
he’s a bass. Not a bad soprano. Retired computer whiz for Sprint, speaks
fluent nerd. Remembers when the Dead Sea was only sick. Once had coal
black hair. That was in 1897.
Our Featured Quartets
BCQ
BCQ formed in August of 2011, and quickly made headlines, placing
in the top 3 in their very first district contest just two months later. All
members of BCQ are long-time regulars of the Kansas City Chapter. With
more than 70 years of barbershopping among them, these guys are wellseasoned in the performing arts.

in Overland Park, KS, and also works as a doughnut maker extraordinaire
at Quick and Tasty QT.
Tom Wenner, baritone, is a computer geek by day, and videographer/

is vice president of local mortgage lender James B. Nutter. Matt won a
Central States District championship with Special Touch in 1984.
Harmony Explosion
Each year the HOA Chorus and
our friends in the Kansas City Chorus
of Sweet Adelines host a quartet

high school boys and girls. Harmony
Explosion is growing by leaps and
bounds. More than 200 young people

is to support the vocal music programs
in our schools and to promote
barbershop singing in our area. Our

quartets from Harmony Explosion join
us on our stage today.

Notes on
the chorus’ songs
Smile Medley
Danny Boy
We open our show with a mash up of “Smile Darn ‘Ya Smile”, and “Powder
Your Face with Sunshine”. This show-starter is arranged by Clay Hine, a
prolific barbershop musician who joined the Society at the tender age of 14.
One of the most popular ballads ever as evidenced by the fact that it’s been
recorded by almost everyone! Of course, it’s been very popular since it was
written in 1910 and is often thought of as an Irish song. However, it was
written by an English lawyer and has actually been mostly popular among
Irish-Americans.
Tonight
One of the many popular songs from one of the greatest Broadway musicals,
West Side Story. Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim teamed up to
create enduring songs.
Sunshine of Your Smile
A popular hit by the original Irish tenor John McCormack in 1916, this song
has been covered by many other artists including Frank Sinatra. Note the
lyrics such as “Shadows may fall across the land and sea”, referring to the
backdrop of World War I.
Sweet Hour of Prayer
One of the greatest hymns ever written was originally published as a poem
in 1845. The tune was added in 1860 and it was first included in a Methodist
hymnal in 1878.
Yes Sir, That’s My Baby
Written in 1925 by the team of Walter Donaldson and Gus Kahn. The song
was supposedly inspired when they were visiting entertainer Eddie Cantor,
who needed a new tune. His daughter had a mechanical toy pig and its
rhythmic movements somehow caused Kahn to come up with most of the
lyrics almost immediately.
America The Beautiful/
Give Me Your Tired Your Poor Medley
Katharine Lee Bates composed the poem for America the Beautiful, and the
song has become what many consider our greatest patriotic piece. Many
musicians believe it should be our national anthem. Give Me Your Tired, Your
Poor is a poem by Emma Lazarus originally written to raise money to help
pay for the Statue of Liberty. It was eventually excerpted on the base of the
statue.
When I Lift Up My Head
One of 2,500 songs written by Dottie Rambo, a great American gospel and
inspirational music composer. Rambo’s songs have been recorded by
Whitney Houston, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, The Oak Ridge
Boys, and many other famous artists.

HOA Barbershop Chorus
Giving back to the community
In addition to creating harmonious music that enhances the quality of life in
the Kansas City area, our chorus contributes to the community through a variety
of programs and activities.
The Salvation Army: Each December the chorus launches the Caroling
Caravan, a full day of holiday singing at area retirement communities. The
entire proceeds from the free will offering go to The Salvation Army. This past
December our contribution set a record for us – more than $23,000.
Harmony Explosion: In February/March our chapter sponsors and runs
Harmony Explosion, a quartet competition for students in grades six through
twelve. In 2012 this program grew to more than 200 participants. Chorus
members contribute their time to coach quartets, and Voices Unlimited tours
local schools and sings at assemblies. Quartets come from as far away as Wichita
and Salina to compete in this growing competition.
Children’s Mercy Hospital: Chorus quartets deliver “love” each February
through our Singing Valentines program. A portion of the proceeds from this
program go to the Hearing and Speech Clinic at Children’s Mercy.
St. Peter’s United Church of Christ: Twice a month our members
contribute food items to help stock the church’s food pantry (we meet at this
church every Tuesday for rehearsals). Over the past three years the HOA
membership has contributed 1,850 food items.
Conventions: The HOA chapter has hosted six Barbershop Harmony
Society International competitions, along with many more district conventions.
It is estimated that these conventions have had a $50 million economic impact
on our metropolitan area.
How can you help?
If you are moved to help this uniquely American art form endure and
grow, you can make a contribution to our chapter’s endowment fund. We are a
501©(3) non-profit organization, so your contributions are tax deductible to the
extent allowed by law.

Kansas City Barbershopping:
A Proud Tradition
The Kansas City Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society (BHS)
has a long and illustrious history. In many ways it has always been one of
the most influential chapters in BHS. And, many of our quartets and leaders
have also helped this musical style to perpetuate and grow.
In the early spring of 1938 two Tulsa businessmen were stranded by
weather in downtown KC at the venerable Muehlebach Hotel. While there,
they passed the evening ringing barbershop chords, lamented the fact that
this kind of close harmony seemed to be disappearing from the American
landscape and decided to form a group to keep the style alive. A few months
later, they and others from their fledging organization in Tulsa traveled by
train to found our chapter on June 18, 1938.
Within a short time one of the early chapter leaders in Kansas City
became very influential throughout the barbershop Society. Joe Stern
served our chapter for many years as an arranger, coach, officer and chorus
director. He also served our Society in all of those capacities; equally
important, he was one of the very first barbershop judges, helping to create
our first judging system. And he was the founding editor of our national
publication, the Harmonizer. He was recently honored as the only man
from our chapter named to the S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A. Hall of Fame. He also was an
extremely important early leader and chorus director of one of the oldest
Sweet Adelines, Inc. chapters, here in Kansas City.
Of course, quartets have always had a special place in our chapter.
At first, they were the primary focus and the chorus had a very limited
repertoire. The early chapter quartets to rank Internationally were the
Kansas City Police Quartet and The KC Serenader’s/Barberpolecats
(the latter quartet often switched names and personnel and still holds
the record for placing second in International competition five times).
Of course, the most well known quartet from our chapter was the 1986
International Champions, the Rural Route 4.
Following Joe Stern’s example, our chapter has provided stellar
leadership to our Society. We have sponsored many new chapters throughout
the Midwest and even as far away as New Mexico. We are proud that some of
our members have held high offices in the BHS. Seven Kansas City members
have advanced to president of the five-state Central States District. Two of
those, Bob Gall and Gil Lefholz, served as International Presidents.
Our Heart of America Chorus has been crowned CSD champion
thirteen times. This July we will compete for the 19th time at the
International Competition in Portland, Oregon.

Upcoming Events
Heart of America
Heartbeats
July 1-7
International Competition
The Heartbeats is an organization of members’ wives, girlfriends,
sweethearts, and family members who help support the men of the Heart of
America Chorus.
Among other things, the Heartbeats assist in selecting a scholarship
winner to Harmony University, a week-long school in St. Joseph that teaches
fundamentals of singing and performing. The school emphasizes the
barbershop style.
The Heartbeats are instrumental in helping the chorus put on our
annual Singing Valentines program and our spring show.
But perhaps most importantly, they support the members of HOA in
doing what we love — singing barbershop music!
Thank you to the Heartbeats and to all of our wives, families, and
supporters.

Barbershop District
and Society Structure
The Kansas City Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society is one
of over 800 active chapters in the US and Canada. This set of chapters is
divided into seventeen “districts” which provide additional leadership and
support for each chapter and for regional conventions and barbershop
events.
Kansas City is in the Central States District (CSD), a geographic area
covering all of Missouri and Iowa and the majority of Kansas, Nebraska
and South Dakota and includes one chapter in NW Arkansas. There are
currently 59 chapters in CSD.
The Central States District has a proud history of community
involvement from their chapters, active chapter shows and a great
collegiate quartet support program. In 2009, a chorus from CSD
(St. Charles, Missouri chapter Ambassadors of Harmony) won the chorus
gold medal and a CSD quartet, Crossroads with dual members from
St. Charles, Missouri and Tampa, Florida won the quartet gold. We are
proud of our district representatives in these International contests.
This year CSD sends four choruses to the International competition
in Portland, Oregon. They are our own Kansas City Chapter (HOA
Chorus), the Metro KC chapter, the Freemont, Nebraska chapter, and the
Ambassadors of Harmony from St. Charles, Missouri.
The Barbershop Harmony Society moved its headquarters to
Nashville, Tennessee in the summer of 2007 and provides support for all
chapters and their 26,000+ members across a variety of membership,
music, youth, training, marketing and leadership areas.
The Kansas City chapter, the district, and the Society give you a warm
invitation to join a chapter near you, and we are proud to offer each man
the opportunity to entertain future audiences.
