Roses will eventually die, a box of chocolates will be eaten, and a card will just be thrown away. The Spirit of Syracuse Chorus has the perfect gift idea to make this Valentine’s Day more memorable-- a singing valentine.
Chorus member Kathy Totman says, “It’s just a great expression to people and we find that it’s something people will never forget.”
The 80 member barbershop choir divides into small groups to deliver singing valentines all over Syracuse. The singers perform at restaurants, homes, offices, schools.
Delivering singing valentines is just as memorable for the singers as it is for the recipient.
Chorus member Rhonda Spoelstra’s favorite part is going out with her friends and seeing peoples’ reactions. Some people cry, some laugh, some get nervous, and others just smile.
Another chorus member remembers one man who was especially confused.
“One man in an office received two valentines from two different women, he wasn’t too happy,” says Maria Manzare.
The singers’ favorite deliveries are proposals. Last year—a group of the women drove through a snow storm to make one of these very special deliveries.
“It was phenomenal because he got down on one knee at Denny’s, she was a waitress, and it was really sweet.”
