OUR HISTORY
After an email to their friends and neighbors from founders Sally Kelly and Vicky Taplin in 2014, the group practiced in members' homes weekly and presented four concerts every year until the Covid pandemic hit in Spring 2020. From March 2020-June 2021, the singers met virtually and used various technologies to maintain their singing skills and their community. During this time, they produced songs, music videos, and a message of encouragement to share with their neighbors.

By mid-2021, even after all singers were vaccinated, they rehearsed for a time outdoors using flashlights and head-mounted lights as darkness came.

Post-pandemic, the group continues to meet weekly during the school year. These weekly meetings aren't just to sing. There is always eating and drinking and, sometimes, celebrating special events.
