About Our Music

We have performed in many locations and for many organizations. We were featured performers at a New Jersey Miss America Weekend; at a Flag Day ceremony on Capitol Hill; and for the West Virginia State Convocation of Methodist Men.

For 13 years we performed for the annual Pearl Harbor Day Memorial Services conducted at the U.S. Navy Chapel in Washington DC and received commendation from the National Fleet Reserve Association for this concert series. For the 60th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, we performed a joint concert with the Rockville Singers at Rockville High School with benefits going to Community Ministries of Rockville. The chorus has also been pleased and proud to share musical programs with elementary and high school choirs and entertained in local senior residences and assisted living facilities.

The chorus celebrated the Bicentennial with its performance of Randall Thompson's Testament of Freedom with the Montgomery Symphony and the Sea Chanters of the U.S. Navy Band. An appearance with the Montgomery Youth Orchestra included the Brahms Alto Rhapsody.

Programs most often requested include highlights from popular Broadway musicals, Academy Award winning songs, great music from the World War II big band era, and songs of faith.

We love to perform music of Irving Berlin, Rogers & Hammerstein, Jerome Kern, George M. Cohan, Sigmund Romberg, Lerner & Lowe and other well known composers.
