THE SERENDIPITY
SINGERS were first formed
in 1963 at the University of
Colorado.
The group has since
played approximately 800
colleges. 49 states, 15 coun
tries and has recorded 6
albums. They have played on
the Dean Martin Show, Kraft
Music Hall. the Bell
Telephone Hour, Johnny
Carson. Mike Douglas and
approximately 30 other net
work television specials,
including their own special,
“The Serendipity Singers at
Christmas’’, which was aired
December. 1970. The group
travels approximately 200.000
as main attraction for April 4 Jr.-Sr.
miles each year which en
compass major nightclubs
such as The Playboy Clubs,
Harrah’s, Lake Tahoe and
Reno, The King’s Inn,
Bahamas, and. of course, a
heavy accent on college
concerts.
Their repertoire consists
of a combination of original,
self-penned material and
songs written for the group by
some of today’s better
known writers.
There is more to the
Serendipity experience than
music according to their
advance publicity. On stage,
the group augments its act
with comedy and dramatic
sketches. (The Serendipitys,
as a unit, recently did some
shows in summer stock).
To be able to perform this
diverse material, the group
demands versatility from
each of its members.
Each member of the
group is capable of doing a
solo two-hour concert, and is a
concert artist in his own right.
Members also have at least
two ranges in their voice
projection, and all play at
least three different musical
instruments as well as read
music and act! Another im
portant prerequisite of being a
Serendipity Singer is that all
members must write original
songs and comedy material.
The Junior Class an
ticipates that the Serendipity
Concert will be a memorable
Junior-Senior experience!
