Magic City Chorus is igniting the sound! We had a great response to our Guest Night on September 13th with 9 women attending our rehearsal.

It’s been a busy Summer and Fall for the Membership team at Lions Gate Chorus.

Thanksgiving 2022 was such a good time for the PAC. When Rich Tones won the SAI chorus gold, Dale Syverson spoke of how thankful she was that they survived, following the stages of the pandemic.

Following two years of Covid restrictions and cancelled regional and international competitions, Bewitched Quartet was thrilled to win the gold medal in the 2022 Region 26 Quartet Competition.

Battlefords Blend Chorus resumed regular rehearsals on the first Tuesday of September. It was a good feeling to have everyone together, especially with some new faces.

We so miss this lovely lady! On June 21, we honoured Orysia at our June party/Board installation during the evening with a toast to her lovely spirit “ON BUTTERFLY WINGS”. Rest In Peace, Orysia!

So glad we have Covid in the rear view mirror, but looking back, it is remarkable what we learned during that time. Virtual song production, Zoom, Jamulus, applying for grants, FM channel singing – we feel like we had success with a lot of new things.

Our chorus has finally been meeting in person for the past few months. It is so good to be back together. We do still distance and wear masks during rehearsals and stick to a very tight schedule as we are limited in our facility to sing for 50 minutes only re air circulation restrictions!

Congratulations to our Directors, leaders, Arrangers, Fundraisers, Board of Governors, choreographers, and to many Committees - to the resilient members of our Pacific Edge Chorus for staying the course.

We have quartet news!! Introducing Copper Moon Quartet: Donna St. Germain (Tenor), Pat Fry (Lead), Elvera Collier (Bari) and Janine Roberts (Bass).

As many chorus’ out there, the thought of recruitment may seem daunting coming out of this pandemic. Anxiety and fears surrounding COVID 19 are still at large as we learn what coming out of our homes or zooms and back to chorus night look likes for each of us.

Battlefords Blend has not been actively seeking new members for the last two years. This year we changed that!

Finally! After two years of Zoom rehearsals, followed by outdoor rehearsals in hula hoops, then indoor rehearsals in masks and more hula hoops, Westcoast is now on the risers, with energy and enthusiasm like never before as we prepare in earnest for International in Phoenix.

The PAC is thrilled, overjoyed, delighted to celebrate our new Director Elvera Collier.

Alberta Heartland Chorus is having quite an exciting year. Like the rest of region 26, we spent over two years ‘zooming.’ Thanks to our talented director and her team we remained strong, but it just wasn’t the same. So when covid restrictions lifted, we couldn’t wait to start ringing some chords.

Peace Arch Chorus lost a much beloved long-term member after a brief struggle with cancer.

Resilience. Perseverance. Leadership. Singularly and collectively, we continue to exercise these traits to keep our members healthy, our choruses together and our organization strong.

It was a joyous distanced reunion January 26 for our first in person rehearsal in 2022. Some were hesitant, but reassured after observing that protocols were being diligently adhered to by all.

Now, as we begin to look at our Sweet Adeline world in a different light, we prepare for 2022 Competition and Virtual Convention, we pause to wonder what did we do during this time?

Knock us down and we'll just get up. Lock us in and we'll find a key. Hinder our plans we'll find a way, To keep our future full of harmony
