Texas Tradition Chorus Leadership
Texas Tradition Chorus thrives because of the energy and style of the people who have stepped up to lead. Here are a few of the people who make our chorus a success.
Lynda Gouker - Director
Lynda has been around barbershop music all of her life. Her dad had her singing in a quartet before she started school. An experienced director, she has "waved her hands" in front of choruses in Michigan, California, Georgia and Texas. In 2007 Lynda and three friends decided a performance quality women's chorus was needed in the Tarrant/Johnson County area. From these four voices developed the 55+ voice Texas Tradition Chorus. We are very fortunate to have such a truly talented, fun-loving director.
Becca Miller - President
Becca is one of the co-founders of Texas Tradition Chorus and has been singing barbershop for over 40 years! Her interests also include playing bass clarinet in the Greater Fort Worth Community Band, woodworking (she built her own CNC from scratch), and movies. Becca retired from GE Healthcare where she was lead software engineer on the National Release Team. Presently serving as Membership Chairman she is always on the lookout for good singers. So if you run into her in the supermarket or at the dentist, don't be surprised if she asks you if you love to sing!
Jessica Goss - Vice President
Jessica discovered Texas Tradition Chorus through Becca and the Greater Fort Worth Community Band.
A dedicated music educator and performer, Jessica has taught middle school band and currently provides private music lessons in Lewisville ISD. She performs with her husband in the Greater Fort Worth Community Band and leads summer music camps in Fredericksburg, TX.
A lover of MGM and Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals, she also enjoys ballroom dance and has a rich history performing in flute ensembles.
Sharla Harrison - Secretary
Sharla joined the world of Barbershop in 1985 with the original Texas Tradition Chorus. She is a lifetime barbershopper, loving 4 part harmony. She is a widowed mom of one daughter, 18, who is the joy of her life. Aside from her, she loves music, musicals, gardening, outdoor activities, traveling, scrapbooking, cooking and animals.
Angel Dye - Treasurer
Texas Tradition Chorus has been a huge blessing in my life, and I am honored to be your treasurer. I grew up with a dad who loves to sing, so there's always been music in my life. I began singing when I was a child. I love singing many genres, but I have a deep passion for singing praises to my King, Jesus. His life, death, burial, and resurrection truly excite me to press on with joy, no matter what I may face. I love to write songs and poetry and to paint, decorate, do small renovations, and redo furniture. I've been married to my husband DJ for 12 years, and we have a sweet little house in Keene with 3 crazy dogs (Onyx, Sephine, and Bo). I work as a caregiver for my aunt, Dorothy Ann. She is 57 and is my mom's baby sister. She's severely handicapped and nonverbal for the most part, but pretty often, she lets out a sweet "thank you" or "I love you too." As hard of a job as it can be, I'm honored that God lets me serve my family in this way. To Him be the glory.
