The chorus presented its Holiday Roadshow at the University House in Issaquah on Tuesday. We had so much fun, and the staff there said they heard rave reviews from the residents who attended! The Four Ever Young quartet was able to present a song during the show. Nice work, Four Ever Young!
Anyone who keeps an eye on the SeaChordsmen knows that many of us love our afterglow time after our Tuesday evening rehearsals! Over the years we've serenaded bar patrons of lots of establishments, and we're still on the hunt for the perfect afterglow venue.

Tyler, our baritone, knows Maryte from work, since they both (until recently) spend their working hours at The Seattle Public Library. So we sang a few songs to help Maryte celebrate her well-earned retirement.
Here we are singing You've Got a Friend in Me:
