White Rose Chorus

The White Rose Chorus is the York, Pennsylvania, chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, under the direction of Bob Crist III.

[1] The York chapter was the first in the Mid-Atlantic District to surpass 100 active members, and was a division championship-level chorus during the 1980s under the direction of Carl Snyder.

The group became known as the White Rose Chorus in 1986 and continued to compete at the division level through 2005.

It was commonly thought throughout the barbershop community that the York chapter had folded, but that small core of remaining members continued to rehearse and perform under the direction of Bruce Van Order.

Former directors: Harry Steinhauser, Carl Snyder, Bruce Van Order, Eric Phillips
