In the Spirit

The 140 members of the Spirit of the Gulf Chorus are excited to bring their style of music to Estero and to have the opportunity to perform their package before the big convention stage. There are many surprises in store for the audience since it requires some REAL theatrics to "play with the big girls" at International. “Everyone will be in for a fun and surprising treat!" The Spirit of the Gulf, only 6 years old, has already placed as high as 9th in the International contest.

In addition to the “Spirit” the audience will be treated to performances by “Jack Pot” the 6th place female quarter in last year’s International and “Hot Shots” an award winning Men’s quartet from Miami.

The purpose of the event is to raise funds for the ECIP’s Estero High School Landscaping Project. Estero High School is surrounded by about ¾th mile of chain link fence creating a poor impression for what is otherwise an attractive building and campus. The ECCL has worked with the school administration and Bill Prysi, a well known Landscape Architect, to develop an attractive landscape design that will screen the fence from the adjacent roadways, Williams Road and River Ranch Road. The full cost of implementing the plan is about $125,000. The “Evening of Music” to be presented by the Spirit of the Gulf is the first major fund-raising event sponsored by the ECIP leading up to the execution of this landscape plan.

 The Estero Community Improvement Foundation is a tax-exempt entity created by the Estero Council of Community Leaders (ECCL) to finance projects that will enhance the “quality of life” for the residents of the Estero community. The High School Landscaping Project is its first such effort.
