Join us as we celebrate an evening of Disney music

in the barbershop style!

RiversEdge Chorus is an extraordinary group of women who gather together in celebration of the art form known as barbershop music. We are a chapter of Sweet Adelines International.

We are available throughout the year for performances.

Our popular performances include Patriotic, Slice of America and of course our popular Christmas performance package. We can also tailor our performance to suit your needs.

COMPETITION

MAY 2022

During the COVID pandemic, Sweet Adelines cancelled competitions throughout the organization, and most of the choruses didn't hold rehearsals during that time. When we got the word to start rehearsing again last summer, it was a joy just to be back together again! We had our first regional competition in May, but it wasn't in person. Each chorus found their own venue to video their competition package and then it was sent to the judges.

RiversEdge Chorus and Spirit of Spokane Chorus decided to share a venue and combine the competition with a "Friends and Family Night." It turned out to be a wonderful evening with both choruses enjoying each other's performances along with several quartets.

making music a cappella style!!

You are welcome to come to any Monday evening rehearsal (there is a map on the website),

A LITTLE INFO ABOUT OUR DIRECTOR

Since Bianca Dixon became our director in July of 2019, we have had a wonderful time.

Bianca is knowledgeable in both vocal production and the barbershop style of singing,

which she shares with us every week. She is also full of fun and keeps our rehearsals

interesting and very enjoyable. Most evenings, we are surprised that the rehearsal time

is almost over and it seems we just got started! She is a real positive element for us!

We invite you to come see how much fun we have at our rehearsals!

As the administrator of our web site, I was going to take down the following picture from the website, since I put it up here quite a while ago. However, since it illustrates the humor

in our chorus, and Bianca still uses this tool to remind us about placement,

I decided to leave it up for a while longer!

February, 2022 - I started to take it down, but it shows a lot of who we are,

so it's gonna stay up for a while longer! Enjoy, and come visit - you won't be sorry!

January, 2023 - Istill don't want to take this cute post down,

so it will be here for a while longer.

There is a cute story behind the photo below:

When Bianca came to audition to become director of our chorus, she gave us a

little tip about how to focus our sound better. She said "put your index fingers

under your nose, kind of like you had a mustache, and then try to sing a little

above your "mustache." We tried it, and it worked well for us.

So, last night (6-17-19), when she arrived on her first night as our director,
