Want to hear the Songbirds sing their themesong “Take Me Out to the Songbirds”?? It’s specially composed (well, the words, that is – you’ll recognize the melody!)

Themesong

In our recent concert, Songbird’s member Victoria Bechtler sang a solo version of “Over the Rainbow.”  Victoria has never had singing lessons and this was the first time she has performed solo in public.  It was a magnificent, heartfelt performance.
