I'm not sure how many of you know but I sing in a Sweet Adeline's chorus. I've been a member since 2003. Over the past 12 years I've competed at our regional competition and we've placed anywhere from 3rd-10th. Last year we had our lowest scores ever. We placed 10th and it was so disheartening for us as a group.
Not sure what to do we reevaluated and went into this year's contest not really caring how we placed but we knew we had worked hard to improve.
We were thrilled that we improved 85 points and placed 1st in our division, and 7th overall. We were so pleased we have been celebrating since the beginning of April!
Fast forward to this week. Our chorus was invited to compete in the Harmony Classic next year. This is a competing in which the top 5 small choruses in the entire organization and the top 5 mid size perform an entertainment package. What an honor to be invited to go!
So I guess it's not time to get down from cloud 9 just yet...maybe next year.
