Perry was a member of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus from April, 1979 until January, 1988 for a total of 30 concert seasons. He was a large man, but he was "larger than life" in his many humorous performances at Chorus retreats, as well as a frequent "cut-up" in rehearsals. He also participated in the historic 1981 National Tour of nine cities in the United States. The tour is credited with being the creative force behind the formation of the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses which as of 2010 has more than 170 member choruses with over 7,000 singers worldwide. He last sang as a member of the Second Tenor section. The Chorus refers to these members who are no longer able to sing with the group as members of the "Fifth Section." They are listed Chorus programs and on the group's website: https://www.sfgmc.org/about_fifth.shtml
