In 1969, a group of women in Boise, ID organized a chorus to be a part of Sweet Adelines International. On June 22, 1970 Boise Chorus was officially chartered. Over the years, several name changes occurred - Boise Valley Chorus, Treasure Valley Chorus, Treasure Valley Showtime Chorus. In August 2013 a new name was settled upon, Capital City Sound, when Syringa Sound Chorus (which had chartered in 2010) merged with Treasure Valley Showtime. At the time, both had a membership of about 20 women and both performed throughout the valley quite successfully. The resulting merger created a chorus with more voices, energy and dynamism.

We are all proud members of Sweet Adelines International, the premier women's barbershop organization. Internationally, there are approximately 16,000 members in countries around the globe. Capital City Sound is a part of SAI North by Northwest Region 13, which includes choruses in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington.

Our mission is to provide an opportunity for women of all ages to learn how to sing in the barbershop style and to form lasting friendships. We rehearse weekly and perform throughout the year at venues ranging from private parties to community events. We wear costumes with sparkle and put on entertaining shows for our audiences whether it's for residents in assisted living, on stage at a holiday show, on a parade float or river boat.

Our name Capital City Sound refers to the fact that chorus rehearsals are held in Boise, the proud capital of the State of Idaho. In actuality, however, our members come from all over the Treasure Valley -- Eagle, Star, Meridian, Nampa, Emmett, Kuna, Caldwell, Boise -- and Twin Falls. The Treasure Valley is rich, fertile agricultural land, but Boise is a modern, bustling city. We are honored to be part of its thriving artistic community and the musical heritage that has strong roots here.
