Congratulations to Touche Quartet for their first place win!  We're especially proud of them because Kim is from our region, and Silverado has had the privilege of her coaching.  What a fabulous quartet with an incredible bass!

Congratulations to Pride of Portland, also, for their eighth place in the world ranking!  Moving up - we can't wait to watch them the next time they compete!

We had a great day today, singing first for the Republican fundraiser in Prineville, then three sets at the Bowman Museum.  This picture, taken at the Bowman today, is a little fuzzy but it shows our new Pashminas.

Come hear Silverado Quartet sing this Saturday, October 6, in Prineville, OR, at the open house for the Bowman Museum expansion. We'll be singing from about noon to 3, several times depending on the crowd.  

If you look at the June 12 post below, there is a link for a dropbox. This will let you see and hear us at Central Oregon's Got Talent, singing "Mr Schwanman." 

Silverado is doing two shows at the Deschutes County Fair this Thursday, August 2, on the food court state at 5 and 8 p.m.  We hope to see a lot of familiar faces in the crowd!  Here is a picture of us taken recently singing on street corners at the Sisters Quilt Show.

Here is a link to a video of our performance this April at Central Oregon's Got Talent in Bend.  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.

UPdate! We ordered a DVD of our performance in Central Oregon's Got Talent, and were told that according to the judges' scorecards, we actually came in FIRST in the top five!  WE WON, according to the judges!  Halleluia!

WAY TO GO SILVERADO!

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!
