WELCOME!

____________________________________________________________________

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.

2023 was a red letter year for Sweet Adelines! For the first time in 4 years, all the regions were allowed to gather in person for their annual competition. Our region (13) gathered in Spokane, WA in mid May and held our competition in the First Interstate Center for the Arts (formerly known as the Opera House). It was wonderful to be able to see all our sister Sweet Adelines again and share our convention with each other. RiversEdge competed with 9 new members and we had a great time. We also raised our scores, so it was a fabulous weekend. If you like to sing and build lasting friendships, we invite you to visit us, and you just might find that RiversEdge is the place to be for good music and life-long friendships.

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!

June, 2023 - I still don't want to take this cute post down,

so it will be here for a while longer.

It says a lot about how our chorus enjoys our

rehearsals and each other!

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
