From the Spirit of Phoenix website:
The SPIRIT OF PHOENIX is the primary performing group of the Greater Phoenix Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, and has been an institution in the Phoenix, Arizona (USA) area for over sixty years. Chartered in 1943, they have, like the Phoenix of mythology, risen to become one of the premiere performing organizations in the Society, have captured the title of International Chorus Champion—the highest achievement in the Society&mdashthree times, and have earned 14 medals in international competition, making them one of the most decorated choruses in Society history.
Two days after moving to Phoenix, I attended my first rehearsal with the Spirit of Phoenix. I expected to be held at arms length while the group prepared for International competition, but the opposite was the case. This group welcomed me in and did everything it could do to help me get prepared to compete with them in Salt Lake City in July. Within a couple of months of first attending, I was a full-fledged member, and had already formed a quartet with three other guys.
If you're a musical guy living in the Phoenix area, this is the place to be. It's great to sing with Spirit!
