Originally from Little Chute Wisconsin, Chris Vander Pas learned about barbershop from a friend in High School and joined with the Fox Valleyaires when he was doing his undergraduate at UW-Oshkosh.
Chris just started his career teaching middle school and high school choir in Lomira, Wisc.
While at UW-Oshkosh, he got into a quartet called “SuperNova” – past Packerland Division Champs, and most recently “Vocal Fury” – Land O’ Lakes District Finalists, both singing Baritone.
Chris has been furthering his barbershop studies by attending Harmony University for the past two years in the Directors College branch. In the last few years, he has been a part of the Youth Barbershop Festivals as a teaching quartet member and has also been directing with the Appleton chapter.
