  March 8th, 2024 We were honored to be part of the celebrations marking the 175th anniversary of Fort Martin Scott .   As you can here in the recordings, it was a very windy evening.   After the event, the Choirs' received this kind thank you note: "Please pass along our thanks to everyone in the choirs who were part of this afternoon's ceremony and this evening's concert.  They did a tremendous job.  We always enjoy hearing the German choirs, as it reminds us of the lovely years we spent in Germany.  Your concert prior to the start of the ceremony itself helped tie the fort to the local community that was established here by the time the soldiers arrived.  And your rendition of the German anthem at the beginning of the Army Band's concert was a great reminder that those German settlers still cherished their own heritage. Thank you, in particular, for facilitating the participation of the choirs.  Without your help, this probably wouldn't have happened."
