Dear Friends and Family,
 
The Scottsdale Chorus wishes you all love and safety during this time of change.  We feel it's important to keep in touch during this time and hope you will enjoy seeing what the chorus has been up to for the last three months and how we are continuing on through the challenges we are all facing right now.
 
MusicFest with Kim Vaughn
Our first educational MusicFest took place on Tuesday, January 28th.  The fabulous Kim Vaughn was in the house as our amazing coach for this event that was focused on singing with resonance.  Kim is well-known in the Sweet Adelines world for her amazing vocal talent, coaching expertise and as a certified judge.  Fifty people from other choruses were in attendance as well, and Kim's work resonated with all of us!  We thank Kim for all of her time and expertise.
Welcome to our two new members Kate and Kirby! 
It's a thrill for us to add new voices in harmony to our risers.

CALENDAR

COVID-19 changes to our upcoming events 

Weekly Rehearsals -- We took immediate action to keep our members and the community safe and have been holding virual rehearsals online.  This gives us an opportunity to continue to practice our craft and to also have some needed 'together' time.  We will be holding virtual rehearsals for the foreseeable future.  Please check our website for updates.

Region 21 Sweet Adelines Competition -- April 2-5, 2020.  In the world of Sweet Adelines, spring is the time that regions all over the world hold competitions to identify those choruses and quartets that will qualify for international competition.  Although we looked forward to competing this year, we were glad that Sweet Adelines International took immediate action and cancelled all regional competitions -- worldwide.  We are waiting for further information on how the contest cycle will be modified to advance in the future. 

 
Scottsdale Chorus ”Feels Like Home" Show at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts -- May 3, 2020.  This show has been postponed.  Look for an announcement of a new date.  We are excited to be performing at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts and look forward to seeing you. 

New Ways to Connect! 
Our new virtual rehearsals allow us to participate in physical warmups, vocal warmups, and voice/barbershop educational classes and chatting.  And some members have initiated 30-day challenges for daily practices.  These are examples of activities that help us keep our voices in shape, keep focused on our music, and stay closer as a village in spite of not gathering together.  Last week's virtual rehearsal included 88+ shining faces! 
 
On Valentine's Day, Mixin' It Up quartet -- all members of the Scottsdale Chorus -- spent a lovely day knocking on doors and surprising people with Singing Valentines.  Click here for more information on hiring a quartet for your special event.
What a beautiful day of fun we had at our February 16th golf fundraiser. 
Congratulations to the many raffle and auction winners, and thank you to our wonderful sponsors for their support.  Special thanks to teaching Pro Golfer Justin Klemballa for his time and expertise.  Everyone helped to make the fundraiser a successful Scottsdale chorus event.

All the way from Chicago, well-known vocal coach, and director of the champion Sweet Adelines Chorus the Melodeers, Jim Arns visited us for a day to help us polish our vocal skills.
Riddle me this... 
What is not exciting about having Jim Arns in the house? 
Answer?  NOTHING!  He brings joy and stories and music magic to us when he is here.  We were dancing on the ceiling by the end of the day!  
Lori and Jim made our Leap Day coaching session so valuable.  And Mom Meredith let our youngest prospect in on some of the excitement of the day! 
Let's do it again soon!
We wish you all well and look forward to singing for you again soon...stay tuned!
