The Heart Of Texas Chorus has lightly used blue satin like coats, black shirts, neckties and pocket squares for sale.  These items were used only for shows and contest so there is little if any noticeable wear. The ensemble color is modern and shows vividly from the stage allowing the possible integration of a variety of bright colors from ties, vests, etc

Heart Of Texas (HOT) Chorus is one of the premier choruses of the Barbershop Harmony Society and there must be a very good reason why our members travel from the north of Austin and south of San Antonio and most communities in between to attend weekly rehearsals. There is - and it's soul satisfying,  very high quality singing and perfect harmony. Our core singing technique has its roots in the barbershop style although our repertoire includes a wide variety of musical genre including, inspirational, gospel, modern and of course - barbershop.
