THE CHILCOOT CHICKS

3/24/2015

0 Comments

 
The Chilcoot Chicks recently provided a harmony workshop for the Choir class at Loyalton High School. The Chilcoot Chicks are a Barbershop Quartette. Laural Colberg and Sherry Pitts are of Chilcoot and both raise chickens - thus the name of the group. Other members are Barbara Rich, and Karen Garner, both of Reno.
Laural sings Lead, Sherry is Tenor, Barbara sings Bass and Karen is Baritone. They have been singing together for almost 3 years. “We do it just for fun and we sing for people who don't normally have access to music because they are home bound or in a Care Facility. Locally we have sung for the Senior Center and the Care Facility in Loyalton. We have a member in each decade, 50's, 60's, 70's, and our lovely Base is in her 80's. We have about 7 songs on You Tube,” says Laural.
“When we heard the school was offering Choir, we volunteered to come in and do an afternoon workshop with them to show our support for Music in the Schools, and Ms. Baker in particular for taking this on. It was a fantastic afternoon with some really wonderful and talented kids. We performed for them, they in turn performed for us. We brought music for several songs and worked with the kids. By the end of the day everyone was singing in four part harmony to Old Mc Donald, Happy Birthday and Christmas Chopsticks.” 
"Our goal was to show our support for the School Choir Program, show them that music can follow them into adult hood, and pass on some tricks and techniques for how we learn a new song and our harmony parts. 
"The day surpassed our expectations. Through a lot a laughter and camaraderie, the group was able to learn and even perform the songs for other classes that dropped in to see what all the commotion was in Ms Bakers room. We hope that they will consider inviting us back again."
