Concert/Celebration Details (Two shows **)


Join us on a musical “Sentimental Journey” to honor our beloved group’s 80

year history. The current Westside Singers are preparing a fabulous concert with lots of wonderful “legacy pieces.” In addition, both concerts will feature:

  • Alumni Choir Set (printed music will be provided if needed!!)

    • Route 66 (directed by Bruce Brownell)

    • Blue Skies (directed by Josh Pounders)

    • Fly Me to the Moon (directed by Cathy Bleecker)

  • Slideshow: Forest Grove Gleemen and Girls/Westside Singers retrospective

  • Slideshow: Balladtown retrospective accompanied by a live local barbershop group

​

** Saturday, June 21 at 2pm is considered the “main event” for alums. In

addition to the concert described above, we’re hosting a post-show Reception/ Afterglow, where you can:

  • Share in some light refreshments

  • Catch up with friends

  • Sing some old favorites with your former choir mates

  • Hear a few more tunes from our guest barbershop group (with Jeff Welsh)

  • Visit our potential long-term home / rehearsal space within the Southminster building!

​

** Friday, June 20, at 7:30pm

  • If you can’t make it to the Saturday show, the special alumni ticket prices are good for this concert, and we would love for you to sing the Alumni Set with us!

  • If you’re planning on attending on Saturday afternoon but would also like to join us for the Friday evening “Alumni Set”, we would love for you to come. Let us know, and we’ll notify you about what time to show up and will save a seat for you in the Narthex/Lobby!
