The Greater Flint Area Knights of Columbus Male Chorus
was established in 1964 as a recreational arm of Council #695 K of C Flint. During subsequent years, membership in the "Singing Knights" was opened to any Knights of Columbus member from the Flint area. The membership today represents Michigan K of C councils in Burton, Caro, Davison, Flint, Flushing, Gaines, Grand Blanc, Mt. Morris, North Branch, Ortonville, and Swartz Creek.
The group has performed for many functions of the Knights of Columbus in Michigan such as K of C night at Tiger Stadium, Cobo Hall for the International K of C convention and the state convention on Mackinac Island. The Singing Knights have also been privileged to sing at Catholic Mass in many cathedrals and churches in the state. In 1982, the group traveled to Washington, D.C., to sing at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Knights of Columbus. While there, it also performed at various Washington veterans hospitals. The chorus has also performed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with the only other known K of C male chorus in America. This year the group will hold its 29th annual Spring Show and Dinner Dance in May, a show that has sold out every performance for the past fourteen years.
The Singing Knights is a member of the Great Lakes Male Chorus Association and participate in mass concerts with the other members of GLMCA at the annual "Big Sing" which was held this year in Midland, Michigan at the Dow Center for the Performing Arts. It was a glorious success ! Next year we will sing with the GLMCA in Lansing, MI. The host chorus will be The Men of Orpheus.
