Bob Miller and Don Singer retired from the group in 1994 turning over the reigns to a new group of musicians. Yet, even then, it took four people to take over for Bob and two for Don! The group was then lead by Darlene Williams, Karen Reed and Wally Parker. Irv Gidding continued to provide the instrumental bass and trumpet, as well as stepping in to direct some of the specialty group numbers. Karen and Wally handled the accompanist duties and occassionally a choralier member will step in to help with the piano.
2017 saw more changes to leadership...
Karen Reed retired in 2017 with Holly Wendland stepping up to assist in directing and Kathy Cupps tickling the ivories. After 53 years, Irv Gidding says goodbye and, frankly, is irreplaceable!
Specialty groups still include the Men's and Women's Chorus, the Women's a Capella Quartet, other small groups, duets and solos.
