A Cappella Unleashed - YouTube Video
This was our enthusiastic entry into the
A Cappella Unleashed contest...
Our First Night
Our
first night was fantastic. We had in excess of 130 women register their
interest. We had 20 helpers, including 7 voice testers (most from Perth
Harmony Chorus) and we ended up having 87 women – all of whom are new to
barbershop which is very exciting - plus our team which takes us to 96
members!! 14 turn up for the second week as well, so we are looking at
over 100 ladies to share the barbershop experience.
It has been a very hot February so we know we have one very keen bunch of women. The organisers were run off their feet on the first night, but the end result was truly worth it!!! The quality of singing at this stage is very good and every one is so excited to continue. We had a wonderful ‘after glow’ – and the majority stayed and talked and were wrapped. A few of us (PHC & CAL) sang a couple of songs – it hooked them all!! ‘Espionage’ sang as well – Trickle Trickle went down a treat!! In true Sweet Adeline style, we laughed, we sang, we had a ball, and our newest friends left on a huge high, after experiencing a night to remember. They were amazed at the friendship and camaraderie that was evident in the room.
Our director, Lindsey Dyer, is one to be very proud of – she did a wonderful job and had them all in her hands. The director/member rapport is really magnificent, and all are connecting with Lindsey very well. Lindsey is conducting a 6 week program, culminating in a show in April.
