Singers from the Texas Union Informal Classes of Dr. Larry Oubre with guest musicians

Nathan Ladd and Christopher Arges.

Currently members of this group are preparing to put on show in other venues.

Don't hesitate to ask if you have an occasion. There is a strong jazz background in the

group, including vocalists from ACC jazz classes.

I was very proud of my two young women who competed

at NATS local auditions in March. Some time the little things are the biggest victories.

That "nice voice" from one of the judges was a great thing to here when that woman had

never sung for anyone else in her entire life. I told her accompanist, that I felt like

the mid-wife for the birth of a singer. Sure, we can all do a great job with singers

who have years of training. They know what we are asking for and can get there pretty

much on their own. When someone has no background (except the shower) and you

help them to sing well, then you know you did it on your own.
