Double Vision Octet included seven members - sometimes eight.| T.C.S.C Mushroom Awards & Special Memories |
|---|
The Mushroom Award is just one of T.C.'s TRADITIONS. It
is passed on to the member who somehow never quite gets the word - or in other words, is day dreaming under a mushroom somewhere. This particular recipient was Kathy Gray - one of the instigators of this particular tradition. She has received it more than once! Kathy Gray is also one of our special technical experts, stage manager, staging builder, script writer, bari section leader, an extraordinary teacher. She is one of those who always comes back with the positive - not the negative. |
1992 Fun with Snow "Ivory" - JoAnn Flanagan, MC adlib specialist,
an amazing dervish of positive motivation and organization not only in the
Twin Cities chorus, but in the Region as well. Always willing to try something
new, and not afraid to jump in with both feet. If you want something to
get done, see JoAnn.Update 2003: JoAnn and her family moved to Texas -- TCs loss and a Texas chorus gain! Next to her is hubby to one of our Charter members, Audrey Kaiser. Hubbies support our hobby in their own way. Some haul staging, or put up risers, and some watch the kids, put up with making their own supper on rehearsal night. We thank them! |
1992 continued ... and the witches, Sue White-T.C.'s print and sign wizard,
riser mover, and staging builder; and Jo Ludington though not a performing member,
still pops in to help when needed. |
1998 Show - "Paper or Plastic" - Ginny Charland (passed on 2003)
and JoAnn Flanagan having some fun with hats and lists. Ginny Charland - "Entertainer Extraordinaire" sadly passed away April 2003. Ginny was a professional musician and nightclub entertainer in the Twin Cities area for many years. Ginny had an instinct for stage magic.  |
 1999
Beth Henn (ctr) - Choreography Coordinator with TACT, an amazing memory
for details, and the ability to break down the moves so even the left-brainers
can do them. 2 charter mbrs - Lynda Riemer (lft) & Yvonne Sjostrand
(rt) |
 1993 International CompetitionMerilee Spaeth, Our EXTREMELY patient, imaginative, and understanding costume chair. 2008 update: Merilee is struggling with cancer. |
 1995 Jane Servais, our "Character" (and another quiet one) mugging
with Judy Olson, our fabulous Director. Jane is also a recipient of our Mushroom Award. In fact, the year after she received it, she was supposed to pass it on, but "forgot". She was awarded the Mushroom when, being a conscientious show chairman one cold winter day, she got so-o busy directing show business at the auditorium, hauling in props and costumes, that she left her car running out in the parking lot the entire time! Bless her heart! Needless to say, when she left, it had run out of gas! Judy received her own Mushroom Award. But being a mushroom myself, I can't recall the reason! |
