| | The West Point Alumni Glee Club is saddened to report that William H. (Bill) Cosby passed away on the evening of July 7th. Our Glee Club community and all who knew him have lost a great talent, creative artist, accordionist, musician, musical director and friend. The William H. Cosby Award is being established in perpetuity for the Cadet Glee Club. It has been awarded for the past two years, to the glee clubber, selected by the cadets, who most clearly embodies our Glee Club motto, “No fun without fun; no music without fun.” If you wish to support making the award permanent, you may read more about it at: https://www.westpointaog.org/supportGleeClubCosbyAward If you donate through WPAGC, we will send you a DVD of an interview with Bill and produced by Bill for you! Thanks, |

About Us: In
July 2007, 156 graduates of West Point, from the classes of 1952
through 2001, gathered for the first ever Glee Club Reunion Concert at
Trophy Point with the USMA Band. Springing from the camaraderie and
success of that event, the West Point Alumni Glee Club was established
in the Fall of 2007 to carry on the rich legacy of singing patriotic and
inspirational music, a significant element of the Warrior Spirit.
Membership
in the West Point Alumni Glee Club is limited to West Pointers who
enjoy singing and believe in the importance of traditional music in our
service to the nation. Our members average almost 20 years of
active duty service with over 75% being combat veterans. Our motto
continues to be “No Fun Without Music; No Music Without Fun.†Our goal
is to spread the love of music among warriors, to sing for veterans,
servicemen, and their families, and to generate funds to provide
additional support to the Cadet Glee Club that will enable them to
travel further and perform more as ambassadors of West Point and the
Army.
If you have an interest in supporting or joining our Alumni Glee Club, please contact Terry Ryan ’65 at tcryan@i2xllc.com or at (703) 973-8731.
Thank you!
