'Singing Trooper' Dan Clark Performing in Stamford| 04:16PM / Monday, September 08, 2014 | |
 The 'Singing Trooper' serenades an audience at the North Adams (Mass.) Public Library in 2010. |
STAMFORD, Vt. — Sgt. Daniel Clark, known as "The Singing Trooper," will perform his inspirational program Tuesday, Sept. 9, at 7 p.m. at Stamford Community Church.
The performance is presented by the Leo Ethier Memorial Scholarship Fund as a thank you from the Ethier family to the community for its support over the years.
In addition to being a Marine veteran, Clark was a Massachusetts State Trooper for 20 years, retiring in 2005 to pursue a professional singing career. During his time as a trooper, he performed for more than 2,500 federal, state, local and military events. He performed "God Bless America" three times at Fenway Park for the Boston Red Sox on their way to becoming World Champions in 2013.
He will be joined Tuesday by his wife, Mary Calarusso, a coloratura soprano.
The Leo Ethier Memorial Scholarship Fund has benefited 14 Stamford School graduates since 2007. "Mr. E." was principal and classroom teacher at the Stamford School from 1972 until his passing in 2006. Hundreds of students experienced his "you can do it" and "don't quit now" philosophies.
The free family-oriented program, open to all, will take place in the pavilion behind the church at 1059 Main Road. The program follows the school's annual Meet-and-Greet Open House across the street. Seating will be provided in the pavilion, but attendees can also bring lawn chairs.
