Administrator

Tracie Price

After watching Battle of the Choirs on TV and seeing how exhilarated people were after singing together, and also how singing brings together a community of like-minded people, Tracie and a few friends formed RECHOIRED. 

Many years on Tracie is still passionate about the choir.  As Choir Secretary she holds everything together and is a wonderfully efficient and cheerful administrator. She loves the new friends she has made through the choir and the fun times the choir has together.  

Tracie enjoys her work, walking, being with her wonderful family and friends, and walking with her dog.
