The Alumni News Page, the latest feature of the PCC website is dedicated to the Alumni of the Palatine Children's Chorus. Here we try and keep track of some of our former chorus members as they continue their musical careers after leaving us.
If you have any information about former PCC singers and what they are doing now please contact Ms. Diane Ramsden at: 847-705-5123 X281 or Email: bdramsden@earthlink.net. We will do our best to include this information in future updates of this page.
