Metro started it o in a big way Who better to install the

new Management team

president Joan

Boutilier We were so

fortunate to have Joan

install our ocers at

our Zoom Installation

and awards celebration It was a fun night with ALL of our members being honored for

surviving and thriving during what most would call the worst year ever Many individual

awards were presented as well and we had several special ldquocelebrityrdquo guests pop by Betty

Clipman Anne Downton and Erin Howden all dropped in

to say a few encouraging and motivating words of

wisdom These ladies were among the many wonderful

coaches we were able to work with via Zoom this past year

and we are so grateful for their inspiration At the

following Zoomhearsal we had the opportunity to be

joined by the fabulous Visual Communications judge

Judy Pozsgay Judy expertly guided us through the

changes in what was formerly known as the

Showmanship category Judy is also the bass of our 2017

Queens of Harmony ldquoFrenzyrdquo and is an excellent teacher

We had our third Hybrid rehearsal with a few more

members attending and we look forward to our fourth

one this coming week While things are certainly not back

to ldquonormalrdquo they are denitely moving in the right direction

with looking for new members inviting back previous

members recruiting more young members and doing

their part to make all of our visitors feel welcome and comfortable at our rehearsals

We have resumed in-person rehearsals complete with lots of those lovely choir lsquoduck

masksrsquo We are continuing to oer the option of virtual attendance for any members that

may not feel comfortable just yet with real live rehearsals Itrsquos also a great way to allow

prospective members to take a peek and a listen to us till they are ready to attend in

person Now that the management team has discovered the convenience of Zoom

meetings looks like those are here to stay

Good luck and harmony to all of us in navigating the future

Crescent City Sound ChorusApril 24 2021 A special day in our chorus

history It was the rst time that we could

gather indoors to harmonize together It

was such a wonderful experience to nally

see so many beautiful singers together in

harmony We had several hours to visit

sing and give socially distanced hugs We

adhered to all of the safety precautions to

make everyone comfortable and safe We

liked it so much that we are doing it again

In fact we are working towards a regular in-person schedule We are also making plans for

coaching later this year and a show by the end of the year The last year has been tough on

all of us but we are tougher And we have become better singers because we had each other

and we did not quit

Chisholm Trail ChorusChisholm Trail Chorus has had a month of

steady progress We enjoyed three Zoom

weeks of sisterhood education and

singing with director Holly Ritter and her

members of Sugar Land Sound Chorus

(Last month I mentioned that we started

this three-week cycle by sharing a visit

with coach Molly Human) It was

especially fun to meet and greet each other putting names and faces together week to

week It was a great connection for both groups

Chisholm Trail is also enjoying our partnership with the Temple TX Salvation Army

Womenrsquos Shelter We are making it a community outreach project to do ldquosomethingrdquo each

month to show we care We began in April collecting for the May project which was

dedicated to small personal hygiene-related items dividing them into decorative bags

and delivering them to be distributed to

the shelter ladies around Motherrsquos Day

There were enough items to make 25 gift

bags and enough extras to be shared later

Included with this project were low

denomination gift cards Sta members

told us that the residents were teary eyed

as they opened all the goodies in the bags

ndash they felt like someone cared about

them I think itrsquos amazing that this small

chorus of approximately 23 active

members can be so cheerfully kind-

hearted and generous Irsquom proud and humbled to be part of this group And whatrsquos the

project for June Peanut butter and jelly for their food pantry

Throughout our COVID rehearsals on

Zoom one of the highlights for me

continued to be video instruction from

Kathleen Hansen I especially enjoyed the

session about ways to practice music on

your own Self-evaluation using a

recording device isolating trouble

sections rather than practicing the whole

song and not being afraid to experiment

were three of my favorite points Irsquove

never met her but she has made an impact

on the way I think about practice You

might want to look her up and get some refreshing ideas

AND to end our news for this time we would like to proudly announce that we are BACK

rehearsing in person at our pre-pandemic location -- the Cultural Activities Center in

Temple TX As of this report we have had one rehearsal in person masked distanced and

SINGING It was SO exciting to see all the members at check in (temp check covid questions

and liability paperwork completed) and we already know there will be more returning next

week We immediately jumped right in to working on our chorus sound and we had a little

laugh that we werenrsquot as bad as we thought we might be In fact we actually sang through

one of our new songs that we had learned only on Zoom and had NEVER sung it together

beforeand we made it to the end It was so encouraging after FOURTEEN MONTHS of

ONLY Zoom rehearsals

I mean thank goodness for Zoom Nothing wrong with Zoom Zoom has really been SO

helpful and our Board plans to continue meeting in that format We are now ready for in-

person rehearsals and so many of us feel comfortable being together after our vaccines

There is light at the end of this tunnel

might be included in a holiday show toward the end of the year and OH YES welcoming our

very rst virtual member She is in the process of becoming a member and we are looking

forward to the day that we can hug on her in person and welcome her into the fold Houston

Horizon is also excited to share that we have a new mom in our midst A couple of weeks

ago Becky R and her hubby brought home their daughter and the chorus is so excited for

the 3 of them Next time you see Becky ask her to show you picturesIm sure shell show

you tons of them HHC continues to schedule hybrid rehearsals and Mother Nature

continues to mess with us Our latest hybrid rehearsal plan had to be shelved when the

rains came The rain also messed with our chorus garage sale that had to be postponed

until Saturday May 22 Were still going to be at Ellie ODells home in the Rosenberg area

and were still going to be there from 8 am to 2 pm And we are still wanting to see Region

10 members come and shop and take home all kinds of treasures that day For more

The Woodlands Show ChorusGreat NEWS The Woodlands Show Chorus is back

HOME Since May 3 we returned to in-person practice in

our pre-Covid rehearsal space at First Presbyterian

Church in Conroe It has been a long time for sure but it

feels like coming home

Over a year ago we began to meet on Zoom each week

and then once last Fall we met outside at chorus

member Annette Quimbyrsquos home After the rst of the

year we started having a hybrid style rehearsal where a

limited number of people could register to attend in

person while the rest could observe and participate on

Zoom We met at a dance studio and did a COVID check-

in each week prior to entering the room In addition the

TWSC tech crew set up Zoom from the studio It was more eective for the Zoom friends to

hear real voices with our director coaching real people rather than only singing along with

recordings When the amount of in-person attendance increased the management team

made the decision to check back in to our regular rehearsal space So far itrsquos been great

We are following the guidelines of the facilities and it was SUCH a welcome return We even

had TWO guests on the very rst night back The Zoom crew is still providing a Link for

those at home but the majority of the chorus is back spread out on the risers and in the

fellowshipgym space We are mixed

masked and working hard It was

exciting to be able to break o into section

rooms and with our phones even took our

Zoom friends with us It feels so wonderful

to be at a ldquosort ofrdquo normal stage in this

journey

We are extremely happy to be singing

together and look forward to even more of the restrictions being lifted SOON Especially

since we are already preparing for our December show (Shameless plug Mark your

calendar December 4 2021 Sts Simon and Jude Catholic Church 26777 Glen Lock Dr The

Woodlands TX 77381)

Also we had another uplifting

ldquohappeningrdquo this past month - an

amazing recognition night on April 26

Hosted by our Team Leader Elizabeth

McCurdy we celebrated everything from

Perfect Attendance to Summit awards for

each section and lots of honors in

between All the photo memories were expertly compiled by several of our visual artists

(Claudia Lassiter Kerri Mauney Elizabeth McCurdy and others) Each presentation was so

unique and personal Right before Betty Clipman our director signed her contract there

was a very special video where our members sent in comments about why we think shersquos

wonderfuland it must have done the trick because she signed her contract right then and

there

Even though the evening was presented on Zoom there were several ldquowatch partiesrdquo

where members gathered in small groups in-person to enjoy the evening together

watching the presentations Congratulations to all of the award winners

continued to be video instruction from

Kathleen Hansen I especially enjoyed the

session about ways to practice music on

your own Self-evaluation using a

recording device isolating trouble

sections rather than practicing the whole

song and not being afraid to experiment

were three of my favorite points Irsquove

never met her but she has made an impact

on the way I think about practice You

might want to look her up and get some refreshing ideas

AND to end our news for this time we would like to proudly announce that we are BACK

rehearsing in person at our pre-pandemic location -- the Cultural Activities Center in

Temple TX As of this report we have had one rehearsal in person masked distanced and

SINGING It was SO exciting to see all the members at check in (temp check covid questions

and liability paperwork completed) and we already know there will be more returning next

week We immediately jumped right in to working on our chorus sound and we had a little

laugh that we werenrsquot as bad as we thought we might be In fact we actually sang through

one of our new songs that we had learned only on Zoom and had NEVER sung it together

beforeand we made it to the end It was so encouraging after FOURTEEN MONTHS of

ONLY Zoom rehearsals

I mean thank goodness for Zoom Nothing wrong with Zoom Zoom has really been SO

helpful and our Board plans to continue meeting in that format We are now ready for in-

person rehearsals and so many of us feel comfortable being together after our vaccines

There is light at the end of this tunnel

The Woodlands Show ChorusGreat NEWS The Woodlands Show Chorus is back

HOME Since May 3 we returned to in-person practice in

our pre-Covid rehearsal space at First Presbyterian

Church in Conroe It has been a long time for sure but it

feels like coming home

Over a year ago we began to meet on Zoom each week

and then once last Fall we met outside at chorus

member Annette Quimbyrsquos home After the rst of the

year we started having a hybrid style rehearsal where a

limited number of people could register to attend in

person while the rest could observe and participate on

Zoom We met at a dance studio and did a COVID check-

in each week prior to entering the room In addition the

TWSC tech crew set up Zoom from the studio It was more eective for the Zoom friends to

hear real voices with our director coaching real people rather than only singing along with

recordings When the amount of in-person attendance increased the management team

made the decision to check back in to our regular rehearsal space So far itrsquos been great

We are following the guidelines of the facilities and it was SUCH a welcome return We even

had TWO guests on the very rst night back The Zoom crew is still providing a Link for

those at home but the majority of the chorus is back spread out on the risers and in the

fellowshipgym space We are mixed

masked and working hard It was

exciting to be able to break o into section

rooms and with our phones even took our

Zoom friends with us It feels so wonderful

to be at a ldquosort ofrdquo normal stage in this

journey

We are extremely happy to be singing

together and look forward to even more of the restrictions being lifted SOON Especially

since we are already preparing for our December show (Shameless plug Mark your

calendar December 4 2021 Sts Simon and Jude Catholic Church 26777 Glen Lock Dr The

Woodlands TX 77381)

Also we had another uplifting

ldquohappeningrdquo this past month - an

amazing recognition night on April 26

Hosted by our Team Leader Elizabeth

McCurdy we celebrated everything from

Perfect Attendance to Summit awards for

each section and lots of honors in

between All the photo memories were expertly compiled by several of our visual artists

(Claudia Lassiter Kerri Mauney Elizabeth McCurdy and others) Each presentation was so

unique and personal Right before Betty Clipman our director signed her contract there

was a very special video where our members sent in comments about why we think shersquos

wonderfuland it must have done the trick because she signed her contract right then and

there

Even though the evening was presented on Zoom there were several ldquowatch partiesrdquo

where members gathered in small groups in-person to enjoy the evening together

watching the presentations Congratulations to all of the award winners

The Baton Rouge Chapter of Sweet Adelines is focusing

on increasing our membership and revitalizing our

chapter after being sidelined for much of 2020 We are

developing new marketing strategies like no other year

to achieve our goals of bringing in new members and

greatly increasing our visibility to the Greater Baton

Rouge We want to make sure they know we are lsquoopen for

businessrsquo and what we are all about We recently held a

chorus meeting to get everyone red up and on board

with looking for new members inviting back previous

members recruiting more young members and doing

their part to make all of our visitors feel welcome and comfortable at our rehearsals

We have resumed in-person rehearsals complete with lots of those lovely choir lsquoduck

masksrsquo We are continuing to oer the option of virtual attendance for any members that

may not feel comfortable just yet with real live rehearsals Itrsquos also a great way to allow

prospective members to take a peek and a listen to us till they are ready to attend in

person Now that the management team has discovered the convenience of Zoom

meetings looks like those are here to stay

Good luck and harmony to all of us in navigating the future

Crescent City Sound ChorusApril 24 2021 A special day in our chorus

history It was the rst time that we could

gather indoors to harmonize together It

was such a wonderful experience to nally

see so many beautiful singers together in

harmony We had several hours to visit

sing and give socially distanced hugs We

adhered to all of the safety precautions to

make everyone comfortable and safe We

liked it so much that we are doing it again

In fact we are working towards a regular in-person schedule We are also making plans for

coaching later this year and a show by the end of the year The last year has been tough on

all of us but we are tougher And we have become better singers because we had each other

and we did not quit

weeks of sisterhood education and

singing with director Holly Ritter and her

members of Sugar Land Sound Chorus

(Last month I mentioned that we started

this three-week cycle by sharing a visit

with coach Molly Human) It was

especially fun to meet and greet each other putting names and faces together week to

week It was a great connection for both groups

Chisholm Trail is also enjoying our partnership with the Temple TX Salvation Army

Womenrsquos Shelter We are making it a community outreach project to do ldquosomethingrdquo each

month to show we care We began in April collecting for the May project which was

There were enough items to make 25 gift

bags and enough extras to be shared later

Included with this project were low

denomination gift cards Sta members

told us that the residents were teary eyed

as they opened all the goodies in the bags

ndash they felt like someone cared about

them I think itrsquos amazing that this small

chorus of approximately 23 active

members can be so cheerfully kind-

hearted and generous Irsquom proud and humbled to be part of this group And whatrsquos the

project for June Peanut butter and jelly for their food pantry

continued to be video instruction from

recording device isolating trouble

sections rather than practicing the whole

song and not being afraid to experiment

were three of my favorite points Irsquove

never met her but she has made an impact

ONLY Zoom rehearsals

I mean thank goodness for Zoom Nothing wrong with Zoom Zoom has really been SO

helpful and our Board plans to continue meeting in that format We are now ready for in-

person rehearsals and so many of us feel comfortable being together after our vaccines

There is light at the end of this tunnel

continues to mess with us Our latest hybrid rehearsal plan had to be shelved when the

rains came The rain also messed with our chorus garage sale that had to be postponed

and were still going to be there from 8 am to 2 pm And we are still wanting to see Region

10 members come and shop and take home all kinds of treasures that day For more

information on the garage sale please contact your favorite HHC member

The Woodlands Show ChorusGreat NEWS The Woodlands Show Chorus is back

HOME Since May 3 we returned to in-person practice in

our pre-Covid rehearsal space at First Presbyterian

Church in Conroe It has been a long time for sure but it

feels like coming home

Over a year ago we began to meet on Zoom each week

and then once last Fall we met outside at chorus

member Annette Quimbyrsquos home After the rst of the

year we started having a hybrid style rehearsal where a

limited number of people could register to attend in

person while the rest could observe and participate on

Zoom We met at a dance studio and did a COVID check-

in each week prior to entering the room In addition the

TWSC tech crew set up Zoom from the studio It was more eective for the Zoom friends to

hear real voices with our director coaching real people rather than only singing along with

recordings When the amount of in-person attendance increased the management team

made the decision to check back in to our regular rehearsal space So far itrsquos been great

We are following the guidelines of the facilities and it was SUCH a welcome return We even

had TWO guests on the very rst night back The Zoom crew is still providing a Link for

those at home but the majority of the chorus is back spread out on the risers and in the

fellowshipgym space We are mixed

masked and working hard It was

exciting to be able to break o into section

rooms and with our phones even took our

Zoom friends with us It feels so wonderful

to be at a ldquosort ofrdquo normal stage in this

journey

We are extremely happy to be singing

together and look forward to even more of the restrictions being lifted SOON Especially

since we are already preparing for our December show (Shameless plug Mark your

calendar December 4 2021 Sts Simon and Jude Catholic Church 26777 Glen Lock Dr The

Woodlands TX 77381)

Also we had another uplifting

ldquohappeningrdquo this past month - an

amazing recognition night on April 26

Hosted by our Team Leader Elizabeth

McCurdy we celebrated everything from

Perfect Attendance to Summit awards for

each section and lots of honors in

between All the photo memories were expertly compiled by several of our visual artists

(Claudia Lassiter Kerri Mauney Elizabeth McCurdy and others) Each presentation was so

unique and personal Right before Betty Clipman our director signed her contract there

was a very special video where our members sent in comments about why we think shersquos

wonderfuland it must have done the trick because she signed her contract right then and

there

Even though the evening was presented on Zoom there were several ldquowatch partiesrdquo

where members gathered in small groups in-person to enjoy the evening together

watching the presentations Congratulations to all of the award winners
