Some members have traveled as far as Japan, Germany, Switzerland, France and England
According to Larry Jordan, "The Sounds Of Harmony - Allstars have dedicated themselves to the preservation of the history of vocal harmony music. It is so important for us to continue future group singing in its various forms of expressions. We are here to teach about the history of harmony type music and perform this type of vocal group harmony all over the world.
