From The Prez

As we pause from activities until next year, let me thank everyone for the contributions made on behalf of this Chorus during 2023. If you sang in the Chorus or a Quartet, sent out E-Mails, sold tickets or Ads, hauled risers, helped put on two great Shows, marketed the Chorus to someone or simply cheered us on from the sidelines, many thanks! A special nod to Jimmy for all his work with us as always. Let’s recharge our batteries and come back in 2024 and put out the best product of close harmony we ever have in Chattanooga! Until then, KTTWS. SteveG

MOAA Sing Out

I think twenty four guys showed up for the MOAA sing out, however, I can't be sure as some of us were hid behind a post. Still had to wait to sing, but not as long as previous years. One of the larger MOAA audiences. SteveW

Marketing & Publicity

A big thank you for 3 Guys and a Hobby covering 12 Caroling stops for Warren & Griffin on Friday, December 15! The singers were Hobby, Pete Jones, and Johnny Jackson from the Quartet and Dan Bruns filling in.

Then Hobby, Pete and Dan volunteered to cover next Tuesday to finish the contract along with Jimmy covering Baritone. Thanks so much for all of you!

Warren & Griffin continues to be a strong supporter for our Chorus. Our Quartets have covered Valentines and Caroling for them for 5 years now! They also buy full page color ads for our Christmas and Annual Shows. Deep Water sang at a special Warren & Griffen luncheon at Common House last year. So, a Big Thank you for so many quartets covering all of these years! You know who you are!

Last Valentines was a big success with 5 quartets covering 73 stops with Pete coordinating. We hope to add a 6th quartet to cover still more stops in 2024. If you want to sing with a quartet let Jimmy and Ron Weaver know - during the first January rehearsal if you are ready!

Merry Christmas and A Happy Chorus New Year!! Rich
