To book Sound of the Rockies for an event, use the Book section of soundoftherockies.com, where the chorus states it is ready to provide entertainment for occasions ranging from conventions and fundraisers to weddings and parties. You can request either one of its award-winning quartets or the entire ensemble. The site does not publish a booking form, price list, or lead-time requirement, so treat the website as the starting point and confirm availability, lineup, and cost directly with the group.

What You Can Book

Sound of the Rockies describes itself as Colorado's premier nonprofit men's a cappella group and barbershop chorus, more than 100 singers strong. For events, the site presents two options:

The site lists conventions, fundraisers, weddings, and parties as example occasions. It does not specify set lengths, repertoire limits, travel radius, or whether amplified sound is provided, so raise these questions when you make contact.

How to Start a Booking

1. Go to soundoftherockies.com and open the Book section. The site describes this as the entry point for bringing the group to your event.
2. Prepare the details the group will need to respond usefully: event date and time, venue and city, expected audience size, indoor or outdoor setting, and whether you want a quartet or the full chorus.
3. Submit your request through the Book section and wait for a reply. The site does not state a response time, so if your date is fixed and near, follow up promptly rather than assuming a confirmation window.
4. Confirm the practical terms in writing once you hear back: performance length, arrival and setup time, any sound or space requirements, and the fee.

Timing and Planning Notes

The site gives no booking deadline, so there is no published rule such as "book X weeks ahead." A sensible approach is to inquire as soon as your date and venue are set, and to have a fallback date in mind if you are planning around a peak season. Because the chorus performs multiple concerts and productions each year and also runs community outreach, its calendar may be busy; the earlier you ask, the more room you have to adjust.

For a wedding, for example, you might want a quartet during a cocktail hour and the full chorus for a featured set. The site does not say whether both can be arranged for one event, so describe the full plan in your inquiry rather than assuming it can be split.

Other Ways to See Them First

If you are unsure whether the group fits your event, attend a concert before booking. The site's Tickets section points to an upcoming events calendar with show information and tickets. Recent programming has included "American Poets in Harmony," a concert of American poetry set to music with guest quartet Sunday Night Social, and "A Barbershop Christmas Carol" on December 14. The group also offers Singing Valentines delivered by quartets, which is a lower-commitment way to gauge the style for a personal occasion.

If You Are a Singer, Not a Planner

The site's Join section covers a different path: visitors are invited to regular rehearsals on Thursdays, 7pm–10pm, at Bethany Lutheran Church, 4500 E Hampden Ave., Cherry Hills Village, CO 80113, to meet the ensemble and learn about the audition process. That is for prospective members, not for event bookings.

What the Site Does Not Answer

The website provides no pricing, no booking form fields, no deposit or contract terms, and no stated geographic service area beyond performing throughout the Denver area. Do not assume the group is free because it is a nonprofit, or that it will travel outside the Denver area without asking. Confirm fees, travel, and availability directly before you publicize the performance to guests.

To join Sound of the Rockies, start by attending a regular Thursday rehearsal: 7pm–10pm at Bethany Lutheran Church, 4500 E Hampden Ave., Cherry Hills Village, CO 80113. The chorus describes this as the way to get to know the ensemble and learn about its audition process. There is no published online application or scheduled audition date on the site, so the rehearsal visit is the practical first step. The group welcomes singers who "love to entertain and is obsessed with harmony," and says it is always ready to welcome new talent.

What to expect before you go

The site presents the chorus as more than 100 singers strong, a nonprofit men's a cappella group and barbershop chorus based in the Denver area. Rehearsals are the main entry point, and the stated purpose of a visit is twofold: see how the group works and find out how auditions run. Because the site does not publish audition requirements, prepared pieces, or timelines, treat the first visit as informational rather than as a formal audition.

Practical checklist for your first rehearsal

• Confirm the current schedule. The site lists Thursdays, 7pm–10pm. Rehearsal times can change around concerts, so check the website's latest news or contact the chorus before a first visit.
• Arrive a little early. A 7pm start after a workday in Cherry Hills Village leaves little slack; arriving 10–15 minutes early gives you time to find the room and introduce yourself.
• Bring your voice, not a prepared audition. Nothing on the site suggests you need a prepared solo for a first visit. The visit is framed as getting to know the ensemble.
• Ask about the audition process directly. The site says you can "find out about our audition process" at rehearsal, so plan to ask what the steps are, what the group listens for, and what the time commitment is.

Who this is for

The chorus describes itself as a men's a cappella group and barbershop chorus. If you sing and enjoy harmony and performance, the rehearsal visit is the route the organization itself recommends. The group also performs community outreach, concerts, and competitions, so expect a schedule that includes performances beyond weekly rehearsals — worth asking about at your visit if your availability is limited.

Other ways to get involved if you are not ready to sing

• Attend a concert. The chorus produces multiple concerts and productions each year, with tickets available through its events calendar. Hearing the group live is a low-pressure way to judge fit. Upcoming programming highlighted on the site includes "American Poets in Harmony," featuring guest quartet Sunday Night Social, and seasonal events such as "A Barbershop Christmas Carol" and Singing Valentines.
• Book the chorus or a quartet. For conventions, fundraisers, weddings, and parties, the group offers either an award-winning quartet or the full ensemble.
• Support the mission. As a nonprofit, the chorus invites support to sustain its outreach and educational programming.

Common sticking points

• No published audition details. The site mentions an audition process but does not list requirements. Do not assume a specific format; ask at rehearsal.
• Location. Bethany Lutheran Church is in Cherry Hills Village, not central Denver. Plan travel time for a 7pm start.
• Seasonal scheduling. Concerts and holiday programs can affect rehearsal routines, so verify the week you plan to attend.

For current event dates and any updates, use the tickets and events calendar on soundoftherockies.com.

Sound of the Rockies sells tickets for its Denver-area concerts through the Tickets section of its website, which lists upcoming events and links each show to ticket information. Start there, confirm the specific performance you want (for example, "American Poets in Harmony"), and follow that event's ticket link. The site does not publish prices or a named ticketing platform, so check the individual event page for cost, availability, and any fees before you commit.

Where tickets are sold

The chorus describes itself as Colorado's premier nonprofit men's a cappella group and barbershop chorus, and its site states that it "produces multiple concerts and productions each year." The Tickets area is the official starting point:

• Tickets section — directs you to the upcoming events calendar for show information and tickets.
• Event listings — each production has its own entry; the featured example is American Poets in Harmony, a concert of American poetry set to music, with special guests Sunday Night Social, described as the current International Mixed Barbershop Champion Quartet.
• Latest news — announcements such as "Singing Valentines" (Jan 19, 2025) and "A Barbershop Christmas Carol" (Dec 14) point to separate purchase details for those programs.

Because pricing and the payment/ticketing provider are not specified on the site, treat any figure you see as event-specific and verify it on the linked page.

Step-by-step: buying tickets

1. Go to the official site (soundoftherockies.com) and open the Tickets section.
2. Scan the events calendar for the performance you want. Note the date, venue, and start time shown for that event.
3. Open the event's ticket link. This is where seat selection, price, and checkout should appear.
4. Check the details before paying: performance date and time, venue, ticket type (single vs. group), and any service fees.
5. Complete checkout and save your confirmation email or mobile ticket.

Expected result: a confirmed order for the specific concert you selected. If a show has no active ticket link, it may not be on sale yet — check the Latest news posts or the events calendar again later.

Choosing the right event

Common snags

• No price shown up front. The site doesn't list prices in its main pages; confirm cost on the event's ticket page before entering payment details.
• Different programs, different purchase paths. Concerts, Singing Valentines, and private bookings are handled separately — don't assume one link covers all.
• Venue changes by event. The Thursday rehearsal location is not necessarily the concert venue; check each listing.
• Sold-out or not-yet-on-sale shows. If a link is missing or inactive, the event may not be open for sales; the news posts are the best place for updates.

Beyond tickets

If you sing and are interested in joining, the chorus invites visitors to a regular Thursday rehearsal to learn about its audition process; the group is more than 100 singers strong. For event bookings, use the Book section rather than the concert ticket flow.

Sound of the Rockies is a nonprofit men's a cappella group and barbershop chorus based in the Denver, Colorado area. It describes itself as Colorado's premier men's a cappella group and barbershop chorus, with more than 100 singers who perform at concerts and competitions and through community outreach. You can engage with the group in three main ways: attend a ticketed concert, book a quartet or the full ensemble for an event, or audition to join the chorus.

What the group is

Sound of the Rockies presents itself as a nonprofit organization whose stated mission is to enrich and inspire communities by sharing a passion for making beautiful music. Its repertoire centers on barbershop harmony and a cappella singing, and it performs both as a full chorus and as smaller quartets.

The chorus is large—more than 100 singers strong—and takes part in performances and chorus competitions in addition to community outreach and educational programming.

Ways to take part

Example programming

The site's concert and news listings give a sense of what the group stages:

• "American Poets in Harmony" — a concert of musical settings of American poetry, featuring guest ensemble Sunday Night Social, described as the current International Mixed Barbershop Champion Quartet.
• "A Barbershop Christmas Carol" — a musical twist on the Dickens classic, following Ebenezer Scrooge's holiday journey.
• Singing Valentines — personalized valentines delivered by one of the group's quartets.

These examples show the range: themed choral concerts, holiday productions, and small-quartet personal appearances.

Practical details to confirm before you act

• Tickets and pricing: The site points to an events calendar for show information and tickets, but no prices or purchase platforms are specified in the available material. Check the calendar for current shows and purchasing details.
• Booking: The site invites inquiries for events from conventions to weddings, but does not list rates or availability terms—ask directly when you inquire.
• Joining: Rehearsals are open for prospective singers to visit, but auditions are a separate step; the site says you can learn about the audition process at a rehearsal.

In short, Sound of the Rockies is a Denver-area barbershop and a cappella chorus you can watch, hire, join, or support—with the events calendar and a Thursday rehearsal visit as the two most concrete starting points.

Sound of the Rockies' Singing Valentines are a Valentine's gift in which one of the chorus's quartets delivers a personalized song to someone you choose. The group announced the offering in a January 19, 2025 news post on its site, which points readers to a separate page for purchase details. It is a seasonal outreach-style performance rather than part of the chorus's regular concert calendar.

What the offering includes

Based on the site's announcement, the core of the gift is:

• A live performance by a quartet — one of Sound of the Rockies' small ensembles, not the full 100-plus-member chorus.
• A personalized delivery — the post describes it as "a personalized Singing Valentine delivered by one of our talented quartets," framed as a surprise for "your loved one."
• A one-off, occasion-specific gift — it is tied to Valentine's Day and listed separately from the chorus's concerts and event bookings.

The announcement does not specify the song repertoire, delivery radius, scheduling windows, or price. Those details sit behind the "purchase details" link, so check that page before promising anything to a recipient.

How it fits with the rest of what the chorus does

Sound of the Rockies describes itself as Colorado's premier nonprofit men's a cappella group and barbershop chorus, based in the Denver area and rehearsing Thursday evenings at Bethany Lutheran Church in Cherry Hills Village. Its public-facing activities fall into four buckets:

Singing Valentines sit closest to the booking service — both send a quartet to a location of your choosing — but the Valentine's offer is packaged as a fixed seasonal product with its own purchase process.

Deciding whether it's the right gift

A Singing Valentine tends to work well when the recipient will enjoy a surprise, in-person performance in front of others — a workplace, a family gathering, a school. It is a less good fit if the person dislikes attention or if the delivery logistics (location, timing) can't be confirmed.

If you want a quartet but the date isn't Valentine's Day, the general booking route covers weddings, parties, and corporate events. If you'd rather give an experience you can attend together, concert tickets are the simpler option.

Practical steps

1. Open the "Singing Valentines" news post (dated Jan 19, 2025) on soundoftherockies.com.
2. Follow the purchase-details link to confirm price, song choices, delivery area, and order deadline — none of these are stated in the announcement itself.
3. Have the recipient's location and a preferred time window ready before ordering.
4. If the purchase page doesn't answer a logistics question, use the site's contact or booking channel to ask before paying.

One caution: because the post is dated January 2025, confirm the offer is active for the current year rather than assuming it repeats annually.
