Photo by Edith Tucker Thirty-four of the 37 singers in the North of the Notches Ecumenical Singers of Lancaster had just finished their final rehearsal shortly before their 4 p.m. concert began on Sunday, July 6, at the Rialto Theatre as part of the town’s 250th birthday celebration. Twenty-six-year-old Nathan Gair, a marketplace navigator at the North Country Health Consortium in Littleton, served as the narrator, left, first riser, for the afternoon’s centerpiece: “Of Faith and Freedom: Celebrating Our Legacy of Liberty” by Joseph M. Martin. The chorus — directed by Brenda Bray, far right, standing directly on floor, and accompanied by Barbara Roberts, at piano, sang a number of selections relevant to Gair’s readings of this country’s most revered historic figures. The audience, which nearly filled the theatre, then joined the chorus in a sing-a-long that included “America the Beautiful,” whose lyrics were written by Katherine Lee Bates and the music composed by Samuel A. Ward, and “This Land is Your Land,” by Woodie Guthrie. Other singers on hand in this photo include David Amadon, Donna Brewster, Janet Christenson, Kim Conover, Lucille Couture, Donna Crane, Andrea Craxton, David Craxton, Carol DeRocher, Eunice Fontaine, Bill Ghelli, Sandy Ghelli, Louise Glover, Carol Hamilton, Harry Hikel, Lynne Holland, Bob Hunt, Linda Hutchins, Karen LaRoche, Linda Luck, Cindy Martindill, Becky Matthews, Lavina Maykut, Lois McGee, Anne Morgan, Sharon Pearson, Jonathan Robarts, Marion Schafer, Debbie Turaj, Carolyn Whipple and Robert William. Both Susan Ackerman and Bill Robarts missed the photo op, and Janet Williams missed the concert. Bray thanked two men for their help: David Fuller for making the Rialto available at odd hours for prep work, and David Craxton for preparing and setting up the risers and stage for the director and chorus.
