One of the organizations here in Tok for the culturally-minded is the Tok Choral Society.
The Tok Choral Society was started by Cam Bohman (her husband, Bill, was Tetlin Wildlife Refuge’s pilot) in the spring of 1990. When Cam left Tok in 1998, Mary Timm at Tetlin inherited leadership of the group.
Per Mary:
Our first semester we had 13 members; this year we have 29; average size is 22 or so. It is a 1 credit University of Alaska course, so it does require tuition payment, but we need the university to function (rehearsal, storage, etc.)
The 4-part choir itself is open to anyone 9th grade and older for univ. credit. Since there’s no other organized music in Tok (except for private lessons) we stretch the limits a little and allow young people, grade 5 – 8, in our group as long as they are accompanied by an adult sponsor…so our age ranges from 10 to 75.
