Harmony Rag Quartet of Nations Newsletter, Region 31 Sweet Adelines International Autumn 2009
Still Buzzing! Valerie Taylor Education Coordinator July saw two wonderful weekends of education with The BUZZ! in Birmingham and Edinburgh.
Karen, Jeannie, Debbie and Nancy delighted us with their warm personalities and excellent singing, and with the generous way they shared their barbershop secrets with us all.
Both weekends saw guests visiting us from LABBS choruses, and from our sister region, Nordic Lights Region 32, and it was wonderful to welcome them to the UK.
With sessions covering vocal skills, presentation and directing, as well as a specialist session for quartets, we hope we had every angle covered. The symposium choruses were a huge success and resulted
in very inventive performances in the Saturday night shows! Handouts from the event are now available to download from the regional website: www.sweetadelines. org.uk Look out for news of next year’s exciting education event with June Dale and Erin Howden from North Metro Chorus, 24-26 September 2010. Region 31 continues to bring the best educators to your doorstep!
And here’s what The BUZZ! had to say: “We had so many wonderful moments both in Birmingham and Tulliallan! There is something so special about the people in England and Scotland AND Sweden! Your warm welcome and high spirits - you do love to have a good time! - made our stay there a totally joyful experience.”
