Fluitt, 6/05: "I am
now in New York City where I am a Sr. Manager of Information Technology
for an International Law Firm. I keep my music alive by singing
with, educating and (asst) directing the Big Apple Chorus here
in the city www.bigapplechorus.com
-- which is currently ranked # 8 in the world in the Barbershop
Harmony Society. As the VP of Music and Performance I have been
part of the team educating and leading these amateur singers to
the point of singing in venues such as Lincoln Center, Carnegie
Hall and places all around the country. In July we'll be competing
in Salt Lake City, where some of my guys will be singing with
a mass choir in the Tabernacle.
At any point, my chorus is preparing
a spotlight feature on me which of course stirred up the biographical
memories of my music pursuits . . . .in which ASG played a very
major part. This prodded me to look up ASG
(SOA!!!!) and catch up on a little of what's going on in your
organization. Congratulations on such a long and illustrious career
in bringing music, culture and life-experiences to so many kids!!
What a wonderful world they will now experience because of these
tours!!!
Being in New York City, I look forward
to the opportunity to visit one of your bon voyage concerts --
if not this year, then next. Let the kids know that even 27 years
down the road, this experience will be one of the most rewarding
and enriching of their lives . . . . .

Martinez, 12/04: "I
was a 2nd Alto from Las Vegas, New Mexico. I studied music in
undergraduate school for four years but graduated with a liberal
arts degree in 1985 from the University of New Mexico. After obtaining
a masters degree (MBA) in business adminitration from the University
of Texas at Austin, I have been in the Los Angeles area in Southern
California working in commercial real estate specializing in the
retail/shopping center area. This tour was an incredible experience,
a once in a lifetime event with many fond memories and beautiful
experiences musically and more importantly socially, as a fellow
human being. The tour at the age I went (16) introduced me to
the world and its possibilities. Thank you Clyde Barr and your
wonderful family. stellarmartinez@hotmail.com
