Changes! Bad news and good news....

Silverado is announcing a personnel change.  First the bad news:

Our former baritone, Janice Wheeler, has changed her part to bass with her chorus, the Pride of Portland, and she has decided not to try to continue to sing baritone with Silverado. Although we are sad to lose our favorite resident arranger, we wish her the very best and hope that she will stay in touch, continue to arrange fun songs we can buy, and will sell us back some of her accumulated costume pieces, because -

(now for the good news)

We are pleased to introduce our new baritone, Sharon Leutschaft, a long time member of the Central Oregon Showcase Chorus, as is our bass, Debi Fooks.

Sharon has rehearsed with us twice and we like the fit, both tonally and her personality.  She is very game, and our next endeavor is an audition (next week!) for the Prineville Follies, after which we'll be working on building our repertoire, first adding songs already familiar to Sharon.

Our very best wishes go with Janice, and we welcome Sharon to the new Silverado!
