May 25- the Rhythm of the Rockies " Acappella Blitz" was quite an adventure. The weather gods decided to green up Calgary that day, so our outdoor events were either rainy or moved indoors.
This did not stop our indomitable spirit while singing at 7 locations around Calgary- the Calgary Zoo, Simmons bldg, Stephen Avenue mall, the new Central library (photo below), the infamous King Eddy, Eau Claire market and the Blind Beggar pub.

Wowzers! After a weekend of Showmanship coaching by the incomparable Judy Poszgay, we are exhausted, sore and blissfully happy. W were surprised by a visit from No Strings quartet and thrilled to be enveloped in their sound and emotion while they sang their contests songs to us.
Good luck at regionals gals! You will knock their socks off!
Brilliant, entertaining, ringy.
A beautiful pre-contest performance by Zenergy. They are contestant #21 at the Region 26 contest on April 12 in Surrey. The other two quartets with chorus members are No Strings singing onstage at 6:44pm and Under Arrest at 6:33 pm.

Beads and Bling- it's a RHYTHM thing!
We celebrated Fat Tuesday (also known as Mardi Gras) on Tuesday at chorus rehearsal. Besides singing and choreo work, we had a Mardi Gras quiz and of course, lots of food.
The New Orleans competition is 6 months away and the excitement is mounting!
Wow! Thanks to the amazing vocal coaching of Sandy Marron, our yearly weekend retreat at Entheos near Bragg Creek was a resounding success. With twelve hours of vocal work and an uproariously fun time at the Saturday evening party, the weekend was the perfect balance of work and play.
A warm welcome to our new riser gals. We are thrilled beyond measure that you now belong to our beloved chorus. New Orleans- here we come!
