The Sierra Boys Choir is The new revival of The Sierra Boys Choir in The 1970s, which was active in The Reno/Sparks/Carson City area and directed by Stan Burke. When Mr. Burke joined The Mario Singers and left to move to Long Beach, CA, The choir was disbanded and a hole was left in The local arts and culture scene. The revival of The choir is a project (and passion) of Nathan Lundholm. Our goal is to provide musical and artistic opportunities to The boys while teaching Them to be generous and thankful members of The local and global community. Our aim is to be fun and entertaining on many levels, from practices to shows, even to social events on The town. We put all volunteers through a background check, and we ask some degree of participation from parents. The Sierra Boys Choir is a 501c3 non-profit corp. All donations and contributions are tax-deductible. Mission Statement: A non-profit musical ensemble for boys based in Reno, Nevada, The Sierra Boys Choir pr...    less

Around our shadowy table placed, The spectral bowl before us floats: With wine that none but ghosts can taste, We wash our unsubstantial throats. Three merry ghosts—three merry ghosts— three merry ghosts are we: Let The ocean be port, and we’ll think it good sport To be laid in that red sea. With songs that jovial spectres chaunt, Our old refectory still we haunt. The traveller hears our midnight mirth: "O list!" he cries, "The haunted choir!" The merriest ghost that walks The earth, Is sure The ghost of a ghostly friar. Three merry ghosts—three merry ghosts— three merry ghosts are we: Let The ocean be port, and we’ll think it good sport To be laid in that red sea.  less
