Our Finance Manager is Amy Baker-Watt
​Bio
I am the current Finance Coordinator for Sooner Sensations, the Tenor Section Leader, and I am the Music Librarian. I always seem to wear many hats because I love our chorus and am always happy to help. I joined the chorus in 1989 as a college student, when the chorus was still forming. I am an original Charter Member. I was was not always a member over the years. When I needed them most in 2009, the chorus reached out and invited me back for an anniversary concert and I have been dedicated to this wonderful chorus ever since then. I am a single mom now, with two wonderful kids who appreciate my love for this art form!

Renee Folmar- Management team
​Bio
I joined the Sooner Sensations chorus in 2009 and was appointed to the management team within the first few months, and have been on the management team nearly every year since. I want to be involved in my chorus and I think that the management team is a good fit for me.
I have been employed for over 20 years at Moore Norman Technology Center as an accounts receivable clerk. I received my bachelors degree in Organizational Leadership in July 2018.
I was married to my wonderful husband, Pat, for over 34 years when he lost his battle with pancreatic cancer in November 2018. We have two children, Jennifer and Patrick, ten rambunctious grand children, and 2 grand-cats, Princess and Shang.
I love singing and love being a member of this wonderful chorus. I grew up singing in church and throughout my years in school. I didn’t know this kind of singing existed until my daughter joined a Sweet Adeline’s chorus. She got me started in my journey as a member of the Sooner Sensations Show Chorus and I’m so proud to be a part of this wonderful organization. I'm really looking forward to competition and all the wonderful things that will be coming our way as we move onward and upward together as a chorus!
