Sweet Adelines International 63rd Annual Convention and Competition in Nashville was a real hoot! Our new Queens of Harmony is the quartet Zing! The Mic-testers for the chorus semi-finals was Sciota Valley Chorus who won the Harmony Classic Competition…just take a look at Jean Ohtola, Deb Ferenc and Claire Greene’s new medals. They were flying high!!
Rising Star Competition winner was Vogue Quartet. The Treble Makers Quartet from Solon nailed 14th place, only 4 points out of 13th.
A Guinness World Record was set for the world’s largest singing lesson with 6,651 participating.
Rich-Tone Chorus won the chorus contest with 3,054 points, a margin of only 39 points over Lions Gate Chorus. Our sister chorus Sounds of Pittsburgh landed in 24th place with a total score of 1,120. The 80 ladies on stage sang their hearts out with “My Foolish Heart” and “Alabamy Bound”. What fun they had!
It was an honor to see our own Jean Flinn in the judge’s pit, judging the quartet contest…what a job! Yah-hoo!!.
For those of you who are not aware…our own GCC Charter Member BARB TAME was honored by SAI for her 50 year membership. It was great to see her name scroll on the big screen and to see her fellow 50 year members on stage, including GCC Charter member, Lee Balaguer-Davison.
Congratulations to all who participated. And now….SEATTLE HERE WE COME!!!
This summer members of GCC had the great pleasure of recognizing all of the time, effort and energy Marion Olson has provided to Sweet Adeline’s over her 30+ years in the organization. We had a little “roast” and shared fun stories and much love for our sister in harmony.

On June 27 GCC gathered along with scads of fashion-loving, music affionados to enjoy a wonderful fund raising luncheon. The food was fantastic and the fashions – modeled by our own chorus members – courtesy of Fashion Bug – were styling!
The lunch was topped off by a wonderful concert by GCC – singing some of their favs and putting on a comedic performance with parodies of Dudley Do-Good, Nell and Snidley Eyelash!
A great time was had by all. Many thanks to Dawn and her committee for planning a successful event for the many who donated and made purchases!
