Steve Sing shared an overview of the Staples Men’s Chorus at the October 21 Staples Rotary meeting. Staples Men’s chorus began in 1935 but wars silenced them. Stan Carlson and Doug Grossman brought it back in 1971. They have been singing for 55 years. Steve joined in 2013.
They start in September and meet every Wednesday from 8 - 9:30 pm at the choir room in the Staples High School. There are no dues. They do 5 main concerts each year:
- Tenor Bass Festival in October.
-Christmas Concert in December
- A May concert is an “After Glow” performance and dinner
- The Spring Concert is a themed concert
- The Big Sing involves many choirs from various communities.

The choir also sings in two churches per year, performs at the Care Center, sings with two area high school choirs at their regular practice, and sings at Lakewood’s Festival of the Lights.
His favorite memories: singing at Carnegie Hall and talks with fellow members on bus rides to singing events.
