This story is about singing. And about violence. And about how one sometimes stops the other.
The Castleers choir was founded in 1929 at Castlemont High School. Since then a number of their graduates have become professional musicians, including well-known performers like the men in Tony! Toni! Tone!. In the 1970s and 1980s The Castleers performed everywhere from Jamaica to the White House lawn, where they sang for Jimmy Carter’s birthday in 1980. Until last year, the Castleers continued to sing at EOSA.
Now, they’ve moved their rehearsals to a local church.
