A note from the Original Chaperones Nick & Tommy
The Chaperones throughout the years have been imitated but never duplicated. There have been groups that have tried to steal our identity and songs all through the 70s, 80s, 90s, and even today. We now hand over the group to Stevie D "The New 2010 Chaperones" We are very happy to have Stevie lead the new group with his experience and reputation. "The Chaperones" finally are moving forward.
Good Luck Guys
Tommy & Nick
