Congratulations to our 'Bi' members

That is members of two choruses!
Here is Sue in her Endeavour T.

And Sue and Colleen with their winning medals.
Congratulations to them both - they had to put in the extra yards to practice, pass riser recordings and compete with another chorus.
Congratulations to Endeavour Chorus - the winners this year.
They'll be off to Honolulu to complete at International next year I wonder?

Our Quiet Achiever 2012

It's Lorraine Graham

Is that a pleased expression?
I don't think she wants to be recognised!

Our Quartets ...

Here are some of us watching the competion - no stress at all as we are not competing!
Of course we are there to support our great quartets Jan and Tonic - with a twist of Kiwi and Bazinga.

 

Waiting for J and T to come up the stairs after their performance ...


And here they are!

And here are BAZINGA

Here she is ... another great performance ....

And they won the Most Improved Trophy



Do they look pleased?
 
And Jan and Tonic came fifth overall ..... lots of happy smiles
CONGRATULATIONS ladies!

Quartet Chorus practicing ....

On Thursday night a few of us walked down to ANU to check out the venue.

Lucky us, we were able to sit in on the quartets practicing 'Shelter'  directed by Glenda Lloyd from Brindibella Chorus.

The Directors were having a few issues getting organised ......

And their second number, 'I'd like to Teach the World to Sing' - directed by Lea Baker from Endeaour.

Practice in the carpark ....

When we got to Canberra and found our way to Civic, it was noticeable there were a number of SA's 'lurking innocently' around the upper level. They were waiting to join their team in the upper carpark for a practice of the flashmob to be conducted at 1pm.

Convention 2012 in Canberra

We started off the weekend with a Flashmob in Canberra's Civic shopping complex.
Thanks to Jan for manning the camera while the rest of us joined in with the 200 plus other SA's to sing 'I am Australian' ....

The GOTA girls performed 'River of Dreams' for us at coaching this afternoon.
Great job!
