Welcome
We are a group of approximately 70 seniors living in
the mid-Willamette Valley. We gather every Friday morning
under the directorship of Judy Dyer to sing. We have been
in operation since 1993. We perform an eclectic array of
songs; spiritual, classical, religious, showtunes, and
nonsensical songs. We travel to retirement centers, civic
groups, and community events here in Willamette Valley. One
of our highlight events is our Christmas concert, performed
in the rotunda of our State Capitol each year.
Our project for 2009 will be selections from Oregon,
both current and historical numbers. Example, "Roll On
Columbia," "My Oregon" and historical ones that the
pioneers enjoyed as they traveled to Oregon such as "Sweet
Betsy From Pike," "Amazing Grace," and "Jimmy Crack
Corn." Our concerts can be gauged in length from 20 minutes
to one hour, depending upon the request. Our concerts are
all at no charge, but we will accept donations, especially
if lengthy transportation is involved to the venue.
