Dogwood Blossoms
Chorus
Sweet Adelines Int.
Are you enjoying the gorgeous fall colors out there? We've had some great fall weather - but we all know winter isn't far away. Let's enjoy it while we can! Of course, Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here soon too - the anticipation begins.
We welcomed Angely to our kick-off for Holiday Chorus on Monday night - and we hope more of you will join us! It's not too late to have some fun singing barbershop, 4-part arrangements of holiday music!!! We already are booked to perform on December 1 and are looking forward to it! We'll add more as time goes on...
We are now looking forward to some fun at our fall quarter auction on November 9 - always a good time as well as a major fund-raiser for the chorus. (This hobby has expenses - music, rehearsal hall, etc...) Our vendors include:
Tastefully Simple; Damsel in Defense; Scentsy; 3 Pens in a Pod; Baldeschwiler Arts; Paparazzi; Color Street; Norwex; Pampered Chef; Mary Kay Cosmetics; and Tupperware.
We will also have our popular chocolate baskets and other items there for you to bid on.
Our annual show was held at The Woodward Opera House on October 13th - THANK YOU to all who attended! We so enjoy performing for such a great audience! A huge thank you to The Woodward; the Mount Vernon High School Concert Choir and the MVHS Chorale (they were wonderful!); Jace Carson and Alison Gordon who appeared onstage with us; and to our backstage crew who kept things moving smoothly! Of course, we're already thinking about and planning for next year - stay tuned!
Have you ever wondered what happens at our rehearsals? We practice our songs/music, of course - words, timing, notes, and sound. Much of our music has learning tracks which help tremendously. We occasionally invite outside musical "coaches" to join us and share tips on singing and other aspects of a chorus - we have found that we can always learn more! We also share in our friendships - this chorus is a great group of "sisters" - along with brother Jeff, our director... Check us out! Rehearsals are held on Mondey evenings; we start singing at 7:00 (we meet at 6:30 for a greeting session and short business meeting) in the Administration Building at the Mount Vernon Developmental Center at 1250 Vernonview Drive, Mt. Vernon OH 43050. Check our Facebook page, "Dogwood Blossoms Chorus", for current announcement.

Welcome!
Dogwood Blossoms Chorusis an extraordinary group of women who gather together in celebration of the art form known as barbershop music - we sing 4-part harmony music, a cappella style, in several genres. We are a chapter of Sweet Adelines International.
We can be heard throughout the year, singing for civic and charitable organizations, private groups, churches, community events, and fundraisers.

We love to entertain by putting on our own musical events each year for the community, our friends, and families. In an effort to stay committed to singing and performing at the highest level possible, we compete each year in a regional contest.
Please contact us to sing at your next special event!
