 Alfred Singer, Rochester Rhapsody's Retired Mascot
Alfred A. Singer became a member of
Rochester Rhapsody in 2010 when he first heard the chorus
singing, the now cult-favorite tune, "Alfred Alligator" about
his adventures as a young hatchling. He has been an active
participant since, taking part in many rehearsals, guest nights,
shows, and even competitions, where he is always present to
cheer us on. Alfred grew up in the swamps of South Florida and
transferred to Rochester to be closer to his Rhapsody family.
Alfred leads a vagabond lifestyle by taking turns staying with various chorus members and traveling around the United States with them. Alfred is an active sports enthusiast and prides himself at being an expert water-skier. He also enjoys watching professional sports and has been to a number of minor league stadiums. He most recently was spotted at the opening weekend festivities at Yankee Stadium. Alfred has even been on the field at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington , TX , having had his picture taken in a famous quarterback's locker. Finally, Alfred is an avid runner, having completed two charity races this year and with more planned.Alfred's other interests include gambling (he loves local casinos and has also tried his luck in Vegas), pretty ladies, adult beverages and of course music. He's even been on stage with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, where he helped lead the Christmas Pops Concert. There are many pictures on Rochester Rhapsody's website of him enjoying himself thoroughly in these activities. |
