I found Evergreen in the spring of 2003 through a church choir member. I was not married, in fact I had only been dating my now husband for 6 months. It was the first time that I was recognized for singing away from my sister. I was hooked! I did a singing lesson program in May and June, and in July I auditioned and passed.
Over the years the women in my chorus became extended family. A chorus quartet provides music for my wedding in 2007, in 2012 before Ana was born many members visited me in the hospital. They were very worried that I overdid it the week prior at Regional contest. Through Ana's various health crisis' they were there for me. They provided support via emails, facebook mesaages etc.
My chorus is a way for me to get away and express myself in song and not worry about what's going on in the world around me.
I got to experience going to International Competition with them in 2017 in Las Vegas, webplaced 3rd out of 5 small choruses. Outside of my wedding day and the birth of Anastasia it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. One that I will hold dear to me for the rest of my life.
They are the family I didn't know I needed, until all the bad stuff happened. They have been there through it all good and bad. I am forever thankful for Karen the choir member who introduced me to them.
