WHO
COULD HELP?
Well
now, how about these gentlemen who are not singing, but all of whom have
quality voices and would be a great asset to the chapter goal of being able to
sing with better quality. With these gentlemen on the risers, we could not help
but be better as we could soon attain a minimum of forty five singers on stage,
one of the chapters main goal.
It wasn’t too long ago that we had sixty three singers on stage in
Montreal, and finished a solid fifth in the district.
What happened?
At least seven of our better voices have moved on to sing with the Nashua
chapter. Others have become disenchanted
with those members who would not commit to sing better. Some of
them are not singing at all, a real crime and shame on us to allow it to happen.
Here is a list of twelve men who could help us greatly if they could find their
way back to singing. Wouldn't it be great if the present chapter members would
take the time to contact these twelve singers and invite them to a chapter
meeting to see if they would consider giving us the privilege of singing with
them again? There are five leads, three baris, and
four basses in the group. They are
Ralph Countie, Charlie
Dewey, Mike Glassford, Bob Guiggey,
Erle Hernandez, Don Hudson, Dick
Leblanc, Dennis Liberge, Mark
McQueen,
Rich Dupray,
Les Tarmy,
and Ron Roy.
Now, as we are all members of the membership committee, could we please
make the effort to contact these men and find out why they are no longer with
us? Please, do not forget we also would welcome any new singers you could
entice to sing with us.
BE
A SINGER BRINGER!
