History
As the men and women from the Jonestown area were returning home from the service in 1947, several of them decided to form the Jonestown Alumni Association Chorus. At the first rehearsal two ladies and twenty men arrived for practice. The ladies never attended future rehearsals and thus the Jonestown Male Chorus was founded, an organization then and today of men who share a common desire to sing. The chorus has been committed to providing quality sacred, secular, and patriotic music for the past 65+ years. Appearances have included churches, civic organizations, alumni banquets, our own concerts, Memorial Day services, trips to Washington, D.C. and Atlantic City, NJ.
