    We made it!

    A big hearty thank you to all of you, the backers of our Kickstarter campaign, for helping us meet and exceed our funding goal by several thousand dollars. We are so grateful for your support of our mission. We have started production on our new CD, Bohemian Rhapsody, and we look forward to completing it next year. Without your contributions, we could not have done it. Now, the chorus is energized and ready to deliver a recording that we hope you will treasure, knowing you were an important part of it.

    Please be on the lookout for a few more updates from us in the coming weeks and months, including requests for information to help us send you documentation of your tax-deductible donation.

    With our deep gratitude,

    The Golden Gate Men's Chorus

    Break a leg, darlings! I'd love a DVD copy whenever it's ready. Or better yet, why not bring it to a theater space in San Francisco? It's totally up our alley! (Pun intended ;) )
