We can find understanding and support when we share our common experience with each other. Some of us are here because a spouse or partner has struggled with alcoholism. For others, the problem drinker is a parent, child, or grandchild. Sometimes a brother, a sister, or some other friend or relative brings us to Al-Anon. Many of us have had more than one alcoholic family member or friend.

The DC Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society is a lively, fun-loving group of a cappella enthusiasts who have been spreading joy and harmony across the National Capital Region for 80 years! Our members come from diverse backgrounds, but we unite each week with one passion: singing barbershop harmony and sharing it with our community.

Founded in 1997 by our director Valerie O'Connor with a small group of parents, our vibrant community has grown to include many alumni. Many siblings and cousins attend together. Our Auguste alumni love to return regularly to work with the little ones in the classroom and participate in holiday events. We are proud of the bonds our families have forged with the school and with one another.
