Members of the Hickory Tree Chorus chapter of Sweet Adelines International performed for an enthusiastic audience May19 at the Lyons Veterans Hospital. The chorus was invited by Hal Saks and Jim Conroy, members of American Legion Bernays Apgar Post 342 in Chester who have allowed the chorus to use the American Legion hall for its annual post-show party.
The chorus was grateful for the opportunity to thank Saks and Conroy, and honored to sing for the veterans. The performance was part of a pizza party hosted by Saks and Conroy four times a year for the veterans. The chorus performed favorites like “Tuxedo Junction,” It Had to Be You,” and “It’s a Good Day.” The veterans accepted an invitation to sing along with the chorus to “God Bless America.”
Hickory Tree Chorus member, Tina Peterson of Chatham said of the performance, “It's always fun to perform, but I really found it fulfilling to perform for those who have served for us in the military.”
