2024 Mission Possible

Peace Arch Chorus has welcomed six new singers since contest 2023 including two new to the art of barbershop. Coaches Elaine Cotton, Lisa Greenough, Sandy Marron and now Harmony 500 Director Elvera Collier admirably assisted preparing us for Mission Possible in Edmonton which turned into a Mission of +39 points and a Silver Medal in the AA Category. We were also beautifully represented by Altitude Quartet on stage. The smiles were even bigger on the ride back to the hotel after competition.

What an unique structure in Edmonton where Region 26 quartets and choruses competed. Passing through an inside garden was so unexpected. The PAC was a spot of purple in the upper left of the Mass Sing.

Community Event

The night before getting on a jet plane to Edmonton, the PAC dined at McDonald’s in Langley to participate in McHappy Days Langley - sang at the McDonald’s Langley Drive thru and main entrance.

In support of: PRDA, (Pacific Riding for Developing Abilities - PRDA is a not-for-profit therapeutic equestrian facility, providing individualized mental and physical therapy with horses to individuals with a range of diverse abilities in Langley, BC.) The Foundry Langley (Offering young people 12-24 and their families/supporters, free and confidential access to mental health and substance use support, primary care, peer support and social services.) Ronald McDonald House - Ronald McDonald House Charities gives families a place to stay together, close to their sick child in hospital. Because when families stay together, sick children get stronger.

Celebration

Our installation dinner followed immediately after our return from Edmonton….also a time to rejoice in our silver medal. We have also celebrated a 30 year member Fern Dunlop & our esteemed Harmony 500 Director Elvera Collier.

11 (44%) PAC members attended HCNW Harmony College North West in Tacoma.

We have plans for summer sing outs and a Gratitude show for our rehearsal site later in the year, PLUS mulling over the steps for our next 39+ points … COME ALIVE IN 25!
