Photos: College Singers Help Launch Local Little League Season
Early Saturday morning, a group of Thomas Aquinas College students and a recent graduate sung the National Anthem for some 300 boys and their families at the opening ceremony for the Santa Paula Little League.
“The B-Shop Boys,” the College’s barbershop quartet, helped kick off the day by treating fans at Richard Ruiz Field to “The Star Spangled Banner” sung in four-part harmony. Beforehand, the singers — director Giorgio Navarini (’17), Joseph Montanaro (’14), Richard Varadan (’16), and John Parker Wilmeth (’15) — warmed up their vocal cords, and the crowd, with samplings from “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” and “For the Longest Time.”
Introducing the group, and serving as emcee for the ceremony, was Thomas Aquinas College tutor Dr. Andrew Seeley. The father of four boys who once played in Santa Paula Little League, Dr. Seeley has sung the National Anthem at past years’ opening ceremonies. He has also called many a game from the announcer’s box.
“It was wonderful to see the College represented in this event, which means so much to the families in our community,” says Director of Admissions Jon Daly — the father of three Santa Paula Little League players and secretary for the league’s Board of Directors. “Thomas Aquinas College has been sponsoring the league for years, and we’re honored to participate in any way we can.”
The B-Shop Boys’ performance was such a success that officials from the city’s softball league have invited them to sing at their opening ceremonies next weekend — and the group has gladly accepted the offer.
