States District on October 10, 1990, listing 20 names. The chapter at Dodge
City was the sponsor.
Our first president was Dr. Phil Bryan and our chorus director was Bryan Fischer. Our charter was received on April 10, 1991 and our Charter Show was staged on May 4, 1991. The feature quartet was Sound Syndicate of Denver, Colorado, who were the 1990 Rocky Mountain regional champs. The Uncalled Four, Haphazards, Chords of Joy (all local quartets) and The Dodge City Town Company from Dodge City also performed. A 24-member chorus called the Wizards of Harmony made up the first show. Fred Teller was the master of ceremonies and presented the charter to Jim Haddock who had worked hard to get the chapter started. The second show was presented on May 2, 1992. Don Hill was President and Bryan Fischer director. The featured quartet was the Vocal Orchestration Corporation from Lawton, Oklahoma with the emcee Carl Hancuff from Edmond, Oklahoma. The Uncalled Four, Haphaaards, Chords of Joy, and Wizards of Harmony chorus with the added attraction of the O'kan Harmonettes, a ladies' chorus rounded out the show. |
