Dann Cox
Dann is one of three original members still singing in A Cappella Plus! He recently retired as the Infrastructure Administrator for School District 68 (translation: computer geek!). He has been singing as long as he can remember, and joined his first community choir in Grade Four. A frustrated instrumentalist from a musical family, singing was the perfect remedy. Dann likes to combine his other interests in theatre and graphic design, photography, and cooking whenever possible. |
