Broadway Rising! Caps Difficult Year with Try to Remember

Jun 13, 2021

Broadway Rising! sings Try to Remember in its final performance of WNCs school year.

Broadway Rising!s final performance of the 2020-21 school year certainly hit the nail on the head: Try to Remember.
The virtual choir created by Western Nevada College and the Western Nevada Musical Theatre Company performed the song about nostalgia longing for the past from the musical The Fantasticks. Watch and listen the performance at https://youtu.be/xNY3MkqhgRE
In 1965, Try to Remember became a Billboard Hot 100 pop chart hit three times when performed by Ed Ames, Roger Williams, Barry McGuire, The Sandpipers, The Brothers Four and The Kingston Trio.
Broadway Rising!s group of performers included soloists Julia Curtis and Briana Valley; sopranos Emma Carnes, Mary Culpepper, Julia Curtis, Jean Driver, Hope Fuentes, Clemencia Golbov, Victoria Keegan and Briana Valley; altos Dawn Etcherverry Miller, Savannah Purvance and Brianne Vanderveer; tenors Marcus Culpepper, Laura Hale and Phil Vanderveer; bass Steven Meyer, Charlie Moser, Ryan Stockton and Mark Sturdivant; music director Judy Monson; recording engineer John Shipley; graphic artist and video editor Tara Burke; and producer and artistic director Stephanie Arrigotti.
Arrigotti revealed that the virtual choir will stay intact for fall semester since many of the groups singers are from distant locations. Join the choir by enrolling in Concert Choir (MUSE 101).
