We L-O-V-E a Parade !!

The Racing City Chorus has been dragging it's parade float all over the area for the past couple of weeks this summer, showing off our patriotic zeal .

We started off in Troy at their annual Flag Day Parade on Sunday, June 13th, for one of the biggest Flag Day Parades in the country. The following Saturday, June 19th we were home in Saratoga Springs, helping out the local Saratoga Elks celebrate in their Flag Day Parade.
On Saturday, July 3rd,the little town of Argyle, NY asked if we could be one of the musical groups in their parade celebration of the Fourth of July. Although there were a number of RCC members at the Barbershop Harmony Society International Contest in Philadelphia, we were still able to man the float and help them with their small town celebration. With a little help from the Uncle Sam Barbershop Chorus who rented us their parade float for the day, we were able to deliver some old favorite marching tunes for them.
Pittsfield, MA called on us for the second year in a row, to help them in one of the country's largest Fourth of July Parades. On Monday, July 5th this year. Twenty-five
RCC members hiked over to Pittsfield in the early morning hours to be a part of their 2-
hour long march.
Our next parade adventure will be in Schuylerville, NY on Sunday, August 1st to help them celebrate their historic “Turning Point” (of the Revolutionary War) parade that steps off at 1:00 p.m.
So-o-o-o - if you happen to see a flag-bedecked float coming through your neighborhood – hurry out and wave to us – and we will make you feel a bit more patriotic than you did just seconds before.

Racing City Chorus Launches "Youth in Harmony" Program

Uncle Sam Answers the Call!!

With the increasing number of youth joining the ranks of the Racing City Chorus, it became evident that our chapter needed to do whatever we could to support their involvement as much as possible. Thus the birth of the "Youth in Harmony" program.

With $500.00 YIH donation from Troy NY Uncle Sam Chorus, plus donations from several members of the RCC, the program got off to a great start.

Membership VP Andy Palmieri followed member Neil Kennedy's (dual member of Uncle Sam and Racing City) advice to approach Uncle Sam for help in starting the program. Uncle Sam responded to the call.

The youth program is being headed by long-time chorus member Bob Peister. Other committee members are VP of membership Andy Palmieri, Bob Whitney, Neil Kennedy and Pat Baker.

There will be more details on this program as details are released.
