| About Us Before actually being chartered, the 1st meeting of the Delco Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society (BHS) was held on April 12, 1954 and was sponsored by the BHS Philadelphia chapter. There were 30 men in attendance. The DelChordians received their charter on January 10, 1955. With John Peterson as their first Chapter Director they grew to 41 members. Just ten months later, In October of the following year, John Peterson led The DelChordians to take 2nd place among 20 choruses in the District. By this time membership grew to over 60 men. By the following year, on June 3, 1956, The DelChordians took FIRST PLACE in the entire District competitions. By February of 1962 The DelChordians had grown to 95 members strong. They sponsored another new chapter. The "North Pennsmen" in the Souderton-Lansdale area. Among the original 41 Charter Members were Bill Burger and Don Lenz. Both of which are still with The DelChordians today. Bill Burger's golden mellow baritone voice can still be heard at rehearsals. Don Lenz went on to become the current Chapter President. Currently we are located in Broomall, PA. on Sproul Road near West Chester Pike. Our director is Ig Jakovac who is also our Vocal Coach. We hold rehearsals every Monday evening in the basement of St. Marks Church between the hours of 7:15pm to 9:30pm.
