It's that time of the week again, Member Monday! Today we are highlighting Dan Breitfeller who sings baritone in The Alliance!
Dan Breitfeller (he/him) is central Ohio born and raised and works in the optical industry doing optician and lab work. He was in barbershop in the mid-naughts but took a long break due to conflicting schedules and couldn't be happier to be back!
Barbershop found Dan in a high school choir room in the form of Bill Miller and a quartet pitching Harmony Camp to a bunch of 14-18 year olds. Dan was already a big fan of a cappella four part harmony. They sang barbershop polecats and he fell in love with those sweet chords. He went to Harmony Camp and even ended up a junior counselor after a few years. Dan joined the Singing Buckeyes and sang with them from late 2004 to early 2008, enjoying the shows, camaraderie, and International Conventions of 2005-2007. Thanks to work and life schedules he took a long break from active participation in barbershop but kept a close eye on International each year. Dan came back to barbershop in the fall of 2022 when The Alliance became an all-voices chorus. He couldn't be happier to sing with these people in his barbershop family and see what the future has in store for The Alliance!
Outside of barbershop, Dan enjoys going with his wife to the Broadway in Columbus shows each season, playing boardgames and escape rooms, listening to all kinds of music, watching all of the movies, watching as many sports as possible in person and on TV, and playing some videogames.
Dan's favorite thing about The Alliance is the joy this music and family brings all of us. He is incredibly excited to keep singing with his new quartet (and first since college), Performance Check, and looks forward to seeing you at chapter shows and events! Better yet, come join him on the risers and see what the hubbub is about!

Happy Halloween!! π»π»π»

Come join us for some holiday fun! ππΌπ

Member Mondays are back! Today we are highlighting our wonderful Chapter President, Kim Forrest! β€οΈπ
Kim Forrest (she/her) is an Ohio native and has been singing barbershop for over 35 years. She is a member of BHS with The Alliance Chorus and SAI with The Scioto Valley Chorus. She is a mom to Alexa and Jamison, a step-mom to Casey and Sydney, and a barbershop mom to countless others. She works as an Office Manager for the City of Columbus (Ohio) in the Building and Zoning Services Department.
She's been called a "professional barbershop volunteer", working at all levels in (chapter, district/region, international levels in both SAI and BHS) and she also coaches and creates visual plans for both quartets and choruses. She has performed multiple times on the SAI international contest stage with SVC, never finishing out of the top 10. She has been involved in The Alliance since it's inception in 1999 and is honored to finally be able to be a singing member!
In her free time Kim loves to read, crochet, and play video games. She lives with Mike in Delaware County and along with their Brady Bunch of kids, they are also parents to two cats (Luna and Larry) and a dog (Leo aka "Teefers').
Having been a non-member volunteer for The Alliance since its beginning, Kim is overjoyed to be an official member, singing on the risers every week in the chorus that has been a huge part of her life for so long. The community and family we have created at The Alliance is something very special and being able to be a part of creating and fostering that is a true honor for her.

Mark your calendars! Our Holiday Show will take place on December 7th. We can't wait to see you there! Keep your eyes peeled for further information ππππ
