Members of  Battlefords Blend Chorus were excited to get back to live competition at Region 26 “Back for the Future” in Saskatoon in April.

This year’s Region 26 Competition in Saskatoon was a weekend full of music, friendship, and fun. Our first in-person competition since 2019 was the perfect opportunity to rekindle old friendships and to form new ones, making it an unforgettable experience.

Our Mother’s Day high tea was a huge success! We had a full house and our new members were amazing filling our sound and looking and singing like pros!

We want to express our gratitude to the women who produced and delivered Region #26, 2023 Convention and Competition in Saskatoon this spring. A huge job done well done – hats off to the Committee that made it happen after such a long drought.

So many stories to share preparing/travelling/singing- for Saskatoon.  We were anticipating changes as a result of our 3 year hiatus but no change in the warm welcome from Saskatoon. 

“Back for the Future” in Saskatoon was such fun for all of us at Westcoast, and we thank the many, many volunteers who put on this superb musical event and made us all feel so welcome!

Since Sweet Adelines International in Phoenix, Bewitched has been busy learning two new songs for our upcoming Back FOR The Future Regional in Saskatoon.

Lions Gate has had a very busy fall and winter so far, with a move to a new rehearsal space, multiple community performances, a livestream performance with several more to come, coaching, and of course, preparations for Louisville well under-way!

In, Sept. 1981, 12 determined women gathered to discuss the idea of forming a new Sweet Adelines chorus in Regina. They set the plan in motion and by 1983, there were another 11 singers lined up. The Prairie Gold Chorus was officially chartered by Sweet Adelines International on Feb. 1, 1983.

The PAC debuted our songs for “Back FOR The Future” at our combined 50th Anniversary Christmas show in December 2022. 

This year is the 25th Anniversary of our Charter and we have several performances coming up including a big show in October.

The White Spruce City Chorus had an Acapella Bootcamp in October 2022 in which 12 new members joined us for the Christmas season!

Looking back over the past few months – it’s been busy and satisfying.

Alberta Gold took a few weeks off during the summer, then we spent the Labour Day Monday at a Community Market/Food Trucks event to promote our chorus. We sang every hour and had so much fun.

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.

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.

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