The Pilgrims Men's Chorus

The Pilgrims Men's Chorus may be taking the summer off, but that doesn't mean some of us aren't still making music! Here are a couple of Pilgrims — trombonist Frank Blosser and tubist Mark Haight — getting their patriotic on with a brass quintet arrangement of John Philip Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever."
Rounding out the group are:

🎺 Trumpet 1 — Jacob Boseley

🎺 Trumpet 2 — Devin Bianchi Rivera

🎶 Horn — John Geiger

It was fun to add some brass to our Pilgrims Men's Chorus concert. With only a few minutes of rehearsal together, I think it came off pretty well. Of course, I had the easy part on the tuba.

Thanks to trumpet players Jacob Boseley and Brayden Swope, along with John Geiger on horn and Frank Blosser on trombone. And, dare I mention it, yours truly on the tuba—proving that even the low notes need somebody to play them! 🎶🎺🎵

One of the special moments from The Pilgrims Men's Chorus' final Concert and Hymn Sing of the season was this beautiful performance of Nocturno, Op. 7 by Franz Strauss. Beloved by horn players and audiences alike, the piece showcases the French horn's rich, warm, and expressive voice.

This performance features local musician John Geiger on French horn, accompanied by Kristina Haight on piano. Recorded this past Saturday in the beautiful sanctuary of Maple Park Lutheran Church, the soaring melodies of the horn seemed perfectly at home in the sanctuary's wonderful acoustics.

We are grateful to John and Kristina for sharing their musical gifts and helping make our final concert of the season such a memorable evening of worship, fellowship, and song.

The Pilgrims Men's Chorus so enjoyed performing our final concert and hymn sing of the season before taking our summer break. In fact, we "burst forth in joy with jubilant song," as the psalmist says: "Praise the Lord with a joyful song!"

Thank you to Maple Park Lutheran for inviting us to sing in your beautiful sanctuary. We are grateful for the warm welcome and for everyone who joined us for an evening of music, worship, and fellowship.

And hey, if you're a man who loves to sing, why not consider joining The Pilgrims Men's Chorus when we reconvene in the fall? Don't let the song in your heart go unexpressed!

🎥🎙️ It was all cameras, lights, mics, and men in black last night as The Pilgrims Men’s Chorus gathered for a professional video recording session in front of the beautiful wall of windows at Advent Anglican Woodinville. ✨

With cameras, lighting rigs, cables, and production equipment everywhere, it honestly felt a bit like stepping onto a movie set. 🎬

We’re excited to share the finished recordings in the coming weeks! 🎶

👏 A big shout out to Sam and crew for handling all the video and sound work. They were fantastic to work with and brought a real professionalism to the evening.

🎛️ Also a big thanks to Ronald Haight, who loaned his expertise and some much-needed sound equipment!

On April 19th, one of our fellow Pilgrims, Maury Spencer, went to be with the Lord. Maury was an integral part of our The Pilgrims Men's Chorus for many years. He lent his deep, mellow bass voice and his impeccable musicianship to us as a stalwart and reliable singer who sang from the heart. His steady presence, faithful spirit, and love for sacred music strengthened us all, and his friendship will be deeply missed.

Though we grieve his absence here, we do not grieve without hope. We trust that Maury has joined that greater choir above, where the song never ends and every voice is made perfect in praise before the throne of God. One day, we too shall form up for an even bigger and better choir on the other side.

As it is written:

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
— 1 Corinthians 2:9

There is nothing quite like the hymns that have stood the test of time. They remain with us for a reason. Their words were crafted with a deep devotion to expressing truth at a poetic level—calling both heart and mind to the profound realities that shape this spiritual journey in which we are all participating.
