With many votes to her name, our very deserving Judi Kahler was announced our Sweet Adeline of the year 2024! As a proud Vocalescence member since 2018, Judi lives and breathes our values of Dream, Inspire, Unite and Achieve. Sweet Adelines and barbershop have been part of her world for her whole life and we are so happy to have her in our chorus and our lives.

Recently, we took some time out to recognise each other and the effort that goes into making Vocalescence what it is: Our Annual Awards Night is a great chance to look back on what we’ve achieved over the year and forward to making our future dreams happen. Congrats to all of our Management and Music teams past and present and our award winners. We really couldn’t do it without everyone’s hard work. A special mention to Karen Healey, our Vocalescence Sweet Adeline of the Year for 2022. A special shout out to our Team Co-ordinator Michelle McCuaig for organising this event, the wonderful Geoff Cartwright for His MC work, as always our wonderful Musical and Artistic Director Jen Granato Howson and the fabulously creative Lisa Poppins from Luna Salt for making our fab, personalised gifts!!! #lifeonahighnote #dreaminspireuniteachieve |
Investing in our team helps us all achieve more; so, recently our music team spent some time together to enhance their knowledge and plan for our upcoming repertoire- they even found some time to sing for the PNG Rugby team!! Way to go, girls! 🎵🎶 |
More investment in our learning last weekend as our Directing team Jen Granato Howson and Elizabeth Isdale attended the Sweet Adelines Australia Director’s School. Our very own Bass Section Specialist and Regional Education Faculty member Sharon Cartwright also led a session on leadership.
