1940s Christmas Caroling

Have you ever seen the movie the Polar Express? Did you know Owosso, Michigan is the home of the steam locomotive used in the film? Every Christmas a nearby town is transformed into a 1940s style village, and this year the village of Ashley, Michigan has been selected. As part of the festival, the Shepardsville Team is scheduled to do some caroling on the street corner! This sounds like an event you won't want to miss. Step back in time, stroll around town, and enjoy a village country Christmas!

And that's not all. If you'd like, you can catch the train and take a ride on the Pere Marquette 1225 (the real "North Pole Express") train from Owosso to Ashley for the festival! Ticket information can be found here.

The festival runs every weekend through the Christmas season, and we get to sing two of those weekends!
Saturday, November 30th 5:00-7:00pm
Saturday, December 14th 5:00-7:00pm

New Beginnings


The Team is going through some changes! Our last concert we bid farewell to Rose, Julie and Lewis Bontrager for the winter. We're making adjustments in our repertoire, learning new parts, and trying to fill in wherever we can. But it's still not the same when Rose can't sing her song, we're missing Julie's harmony, and we don't have Lewis' amazing drum playing (not to mention the mandolin!).

But we have exciting news, too! Elena McCoy is now an official member. She already has been a great help filling in where needed. She is a fast learner, and is such a fun addition! 
We look forward to the great memories ahead!
