A program for the Orlando Gay Chorus' collaboration concert with the Tampa Bay Gay Men's Chorus, "United in Pride", on June 15, 1991, at the Beacham Theatre. The program includes brief biographies of Music Directors Dr. Charles Callahan and Kenneth D. Williams, and Accompanist Terry E. Thomas, a brief history of the Orlando Gay Chorus and the Tampa Bay Gay Men's Chorus, program notes, an outline of the show's itinerary, how to join the chorus, a description of GALA choruses, an events calendar, a list of the chorus members, how to become a contributor, and a checklist of concert etiquette. It also contains a "weekly specials" menu from the Parliament House Orlando. This was the first program to include advertisements and a donors' list.

The Orlando Gay Chorus (OGC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts and humanitarian organization, and part of the Gay and Lesbian Association (GALA) of Choruses. Founded on Valentines Day 1990, OGC is not only one of the largest mixed gay choirs in the United States at over 100 members, but they also boast four smaller ensembles that perform annual concerts, cabarets, and a host of community events, such as Come Out With Pride, Orlando Museum of Art’s Festival of Trees, and World AIDS Day memorial services. In 2017, the group performed at over 105 events, including 15 performances for the first anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub tragedy. Members come from all walks of life and all sexual and gender orientations, including straight allies. OGC lives by the motto “Singing the World to a Better Place” and strives to use music to change attitudes and build a stronger community.
