Border Chorders
 Chapters
has been blessed with gifted, dedicated directors-eleven in all. Since 1988, BOB CALDERON has been our head arm-waver, ably assisted by JOHN EBY, his predecessor as director. Though hindered by declining membership (a Society-wide happening), Bob has worked successfully to make the Border Chorder sound a great one.
For nearly half a century both the chorus and various chapter quartets have brought to the El Paso area a high grade of musical entertainment. Immediate Past President JIM CALLUS eloquently states our aims: "I want the Border Chorders to become recognized in the local community as a class act, combining pure entertainment with the preservation of a uniquely American art form." Some of us think that's already the case-but there's always room for improvement. We meet every Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., at the University Presbyterian Church, on Resler St. in the West Side.
