Micheal (Mike) Belinkie retired after 20 years with the US Navy Sea Chanters on November 17, 2022 his last day. Bill Edwards and Sarah Tiestort decided not to relist with the Navy. Ryan Connelly and Nate Butram replaced Mike and Bill. There a lady who replaced Sarah but I don't know her name.
there are a few that have retired -- many are approaching their 20 years so we may see a lot of changes. Beth is at 20 but I think she signed up for another 4 --
@@emmib1388 Hi! I really enjoyed watching the Navy Sea Chanters concert at the Amphitheatre Oceanside, Ca as part of 2023 National tour. Hoping to watch the Chanters with the Navy Band in the near future, God willing. Wishing you all the best of everything! Please give my regards to MUCS Antje Farmer, we had a photo taken together that I will cherish forever.
@@nestorlagrada5399 Hi Nestor -- just so you know, I am in no way connected to the USN so I am not in contact with Antje. But how exciting that you could meet her and take a picture! I would love to see them in person someday!
Belinkie, Tyler, Webb and Edwards are impossible to replace, The Side Boys are gone, And Bransford is retirement next year, The new male singers are good but they have not the charisma that the Side Boys had. So happy that Beth signed for another 4 years. But We miss them a lot
Chesley Vanderpool could not sing anymore because she had a sudden medical issue, something with her voice box so she is not with the Sea Chanters any longer.
They are GREAT! Luv all of them.
Everyone else has been with the group for awhile now.

Bill always impressed me and Micheal has incredible range!
@@robertlite3878 Bill Edwards is now with the Concert Band
@@emmib1388 what concert band?
@@elainedecker7186 U S Navy Band
Bill is still in the Navy. He is with the concert part. He was in uniform last week with the band. Am I mistaken?
Amazing as always. I see a member missing? must of retired?

It is very disappointing. She was my favorite ever!
