Alberta Heartland Chorus has been meeting regularly via zoom on Tuesday evenings. Lisa, our director, has worked very hard to keep the chorus engaged every week by having theme nights, educational segments, and guests.

Lions Gate Chorus is doing what we can to keep our members engaged and connected to each other. Like many organizations, we immediately embraced ZOOM technology to host virtual rehearsals. While ZOOM (or the internet really) lacked the capability for us to be able to sing together (and actually hear each other), it excelled in its ability to bring guests from all over the world for a short visit without all the usual trappings of flights and accommodations.

Ghouls, Ghosts and Elections OH NO! But oh yes – even in our Cdn province of BC. But smoke and mirrors did not stop Pacific Edge Chorus who were costumed up and ready to take advantage of every change dropped in their bucket, because 'Ghouls just want to have fun!'.

Southern Accord has reluctantly accepted the reality that Betty Baldwin stepped down as our Director in June of this year. Betty has been a member of Southern Accord Chorus since 1993 when the chorus had its very first rehearsal and in 1998 as the chorus received its charter with Sweet Adelines International (SAI).

WHC have held weekly Zoom rehearsals with consistent attendance.

Pacific Edge Chorus realizes that our SAI sisters world-wide will be experiencing a variety of feelings during these serious, tragic times. Know that we all stand together. More than ever, taking a break from reality is crucial to our spirit as we navigate a day to day loop and loss created by our current restrictions, social unrest and media overload that has become part of our norm.

Like all of you, Alberta Heartland Chorus has been challenged by the new stay at home life we are living in. We miss our friends, our riser mates, our Soul sisters.

Mid-April the entire chorus joined Zoom rehearsals for one and half to two hours on our regular rehearsal night. Director Emma Honrud leads warm ups; we share good news; sectionals in break out rooms; Sing! with social time/wine down.

Just 11 days after completion of our ‘6-week Acapella Experience’ membership drive, we were introducing 7 new women to join us on the risers for the last 3 songs of our show.

For recruitment, this fall the White Spruce City Chorus hosted our Ladies A Cappella Boot Camp on three consecutive Tuesday nights.

Last fall our Chorus ran a big recruitment campaign where we employed a similar technique as a tool to demonstrate some learn-to-sing basics.

Alberta Gold presented two performances of The Next Season in November.

Five quartets from Westcoast Harmony Chorus delivered musical love messages all around the Vancouver and Lower Mainland areas on Valentine’s Day.

Peace Arch Chorus (PAC) was checking the list thirteen times – for meeting places, costumes changes and more – beginning November 30 as guests of Soundscape Chorus and ending December 21 at Westminster Quay.

Battlefords Blend Harmony Chorus are busy during the Christmas season, as are many musical groups. One thing they particularly enjoy is being able to go out and entertain at seniors’ residences in the Battlefords area.

Alberta Heartland Chorus has enjoyed a fun filled couple of months.

Battlefords Blend had  a great workshop with Carolyne Saumer Nov 16.

Alberta Heartland kicked off their most recent show with an exciting performance of "A Million Dreams."  The audience loved it.  They were ready and primed to catch the feeling with Matt Schuurman and Julian Faid from Rapid Fire Theatre, the emcees for the evening.

At Gateway Chorus, we love singing, traveling, experiencing barbershop together, and also wearing really beautiful costumes when we perform! That’s why we created the Gateway Girl Experience for those who might not be ready to join or who just want a great way to meet new friends.
