San Francisco Sound Wave Chorus

At our rehearsal last night, the wonderful director Diane Myrick of our Sweet Adelines International chorus gave us a real challenge: Learn the tag "Only Words" in a DIFFERENT voice part (a part that you don't usually sing), split into groups with equal numbers of all four parts, create a performance plan, and perform the tag to the other groups. The results were crazy -- and great: Tenors singing bass! Leads singing baritone! Insanity! 🙃🎼 But also fantastic learning and fun.

We were pleased and honored to be awarded second place among women's small choruses in last month's Pacific Shores Region 12 - Sweet Adelines regional contest. New singers are always welcome! We rehearse on Thursday nights at 7pm at St. Anne's of the Sunset in San Francisco. Come join us sometime!

We have been so thrilled to welcome our "Sing with the Sound Wave" guests the last couple of weeks. They have been doing a fantastic job learning their parts.
