WOW! What a great weekend! You guys were great! We achieved our highest scoring average ever with a 70.4! We had 32 guys on the stage!
Thank you for all of your hard work to get to this point. As we've stressed many times, our scores at contest are not the most important thing. What they do represent though is a point of reference for a moment in time. It gives us some feedback and our progress, or lack thereof. It can also give some affirmation of things we are working on as well as insight on things to make us better! (Which will make it better for our audiences)
What now? First is our guest night THIS Thursday. Have you invited someone? Second, we will polish up some of our repertoire this week and next week for our performance on October 8th downtown. AND, we will begin work ASAP on our Christmas performances and show on December, 9th.
I'll see YOU Thursday. I am SO excited to be a part of the CHOO CHOO CHORUS! Jimmy

Thanks From The Randolphs |
I am thoroughly surprised and deeply grateful for the outpouring of support for my wife and me and our first son, Beckett. Several members of the chorus have been thoughtful and giving not only physically through gifts, but helpful with the wisdom and gravitas that comes from a lifetime of experience.
Oftentimes I have found myself as an expecting father to be restless with the fear and uncertainty of the future and all of the career and life changes that will be happening very soon. I have no idea what life is going to look like when he arrives, but I certainly know that I am a member of a caring and supportive community in the Choo Choo Chorus and your generosity speaks volumes… not only to strengthen my faith in the future but to see more potential in myself.
Music has been one of the best parts of my life and you guys have been a big part of that. I know that I’m better when I’m singing with you all and I hope to do so for many years to come.
Thank You All So Much! Daniel Randolph
