We weren't really ready to sing this song, but we liked it so much we decided to go for it anyway. Hope's monolog at the beginning really happened that night, too. The audience was much louder that it sounds on this tape. Enjoy! It really was a blast doing it. If the address doesn't work as a link copy/paste it. <br />

<br />
Saturday night in Bend at the Tower Theater, we competed in Central Oregon's Got Talent and made the TOP FIVE! We were the ONLY senior act in the whole show, and our lead, Hope Bridges, announced us as "youthful seniors" with a combined age of 258. We sang a parody on "Mr. Sandman" that Hope wrote, called "Mr. Schwanman" (Bring Me Icecream.) The audience was screaming so loudly we could barely hear ourselves! Hope made stuffed icecream cones for all of us in different flavors, and foil Eskimo Pie bars as well. Hopefully we'll have a sound clip on here soon! <br />

Bad news and good news....Silverado is announcing a personnel change. First the bad news:<br />
<br />
Our former baritone, <b>Janice Wheeler</b>, has changed her part to bass with her chorus, the <b>Pride of Portland</b>, and she has decided not to try to continue to sing baritone with <b>Silverado</b>. 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 -<br />
<br />
(now for the good news) <br />
<br />
We are pleased to introduce our new baritone, <b>Sharon Leutschaft</b>, a long time member of the <b>Central Oregon Showcase Chorus</b>, as is our bass, <b>Debi Fooks</b>. <br />
<br />
<b>Sharon</b> 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 <b>Prineville Follies</b>, after which we'll be working on building our repertoire, first adding songs already familiar to <b>Sharon</b>. <br />
<br />
Our very best wishes go with <b>Janice</b>, and we welcome <b>Sharon</b> to the <b>new</b> <b>Silverado</b>!Rebecca Just Wagnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16011795658125704445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039701383044503229.post-58935807077568539382011-06-14T21:18:00.000-07:002011-06-14T21:19:29.718-07:00WHAT AN HONOR!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<div>Silverado is proud to announce that at the recent Pride of Portland (POP) Chorus Installation and Awards Banquet, our baritone, Janice Wheeler, was chosen by the POP Master Director, Ryan Heller, to be the recipient of the Director's Award for 2010. The Award is in recognition of her ongoing work as Music Assistant to the POP Director and Chorus. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Janice is currently the only member of Silverado who also sings in a chorus, and she chose the top chorus in the region, rated number nine internationally. She gets to hold her award, engraved with her name, (which we all saw tonight at quartet rehearsal) until next year's recipient is chosen. What an honor!! </div><div></div>Rebecca Just Wagnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16011795658125704445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039701383044503229.post-85334504741334208322011-06-10T20:42:00.000-07:002011-06-10T21:05:00.467-07:00All dressed up and ready to compete!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
