SCOT SCHWARTZ
CITY/NEIGHBORHOOD: Overland Park, KS (Near Quivira)
ABOUT ME/FUN FACT: I was fortunate to sing in the Wichita Symphony Chorus in the early 1990s as a VERY young music teacher in that area. Then my dear friend, Mary Ann Ciochon convinced me to audition for Dr Eply when I started teaching in the KC area in the mid 1990s. I took a sizable hiatus from the chorus while I continued teaching music. But then, fortunately, I listened to my friend, Joe Potter, when he convinced me to audition for Dr Bruffy a few years ago. Retired from teaching, selling real estate, and having the time of my life! Very glad to be singing. AND blessed with wise friends.
