Dogwood Blossoms

Chorus

Sweet Adelines Int.

     It's August already and school will be starting soon - summer is flying by, isn't it?

     The chorus has been busy! A couple of our members represented the chorus at Mt. Vernon's First Friday this month, in an effort to help promote Dogwood Blossoms Chorus and our activities. The next weekend our members were on hand at our display at the Dan Emmett Festival - we enjoyed all the folks who stopped by to chat and learn more about our chorus! We also gave out fans and information about our annual show including the "Survivor's Chorus" that we are inviting to join us onstage. More on that a little later...

     We held our first quarter auction as a fund-raiser on August 4th and are very pleased with the way it went - lots of fun! There were many popular vendors and shopping, food, prizes and fellowship. If you have never attended one of these auctions, make sure to come next year! A HUGE "Thank you!!!" to all who attended and the vendors who were so gracious! 

     Four chorus members, including 3 from the quartet "Back in Business" performed on the south stage at the Dan Emmett Festival on Aug. 11. They had a great time and even sang "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" to Jerry the emcee. The group was followed by an Elvis impersonator and is now boasting that they "opened for Elvis"...

     The chorus is gearing up for our annual show, "Sing It A Cappella", on Sunday, October 14 at 3:00 pm at Memorial Theater - save the date! It will be a fun show and will feature our chorus as well as other a cappella groups. We will honor women who have survived or are battling cancer and are inviting any of those women to join us onstage for a couple of songs - you only need to come to a few rehearsals. We will have music and learning tracks to help participants learn the music. Please join us! Here is more information:

     Some of our members will attend a regional conference this month; Harmony Weekends are full of great workshops where our singers learn more about vocal production, music and all the other things that go into performing, and leadership.

     On top of all the above activity, the chorus welcomes women and girls who like to sing to visit us at a rehearsal on most Tuesday evenings at 7:00 pm at Central Christian Church, 17833 Gambier Rd. (Rt. 229 East) in Mt. Vernon OH. It is not necessary to read music - we'll provide learning tracks and lots of help as needed. AND we promise that singing with our chorus is LOTS of fun! 

     Watch or "like" our page "Dogwood Blossoms Chorus" on Facebook for day-to-day information. 

     Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Call (740) 720-3221 for more information!
