A St. Joseph singing group let their voices be heard this afternoon.
A crowd filled Potter Fine Arts Center at Missouri Western State University to watch the mens accapella singing group "Voices of America."
The group is based here in St. Joseph but competes at an international level in Barber Shop quartet competitions.
The group`s next stop is Indianapolis, Indiana where they will be judged on their voices and performance.
"This includes about 30 chorus`s of which we`re ranked number 19 right now, 30 chorus`s competing out of 800 around the world competing for that grand prize. This is our return trip after going to Salt Lake City last year," Group member Scott Johnson says.
Members of the group come from all over northwest Missouri and even as far as Salina, Kansas.
"Voices of America" also performs annual Christmas and spring shows.
