- Retreat 2025
-
Date Posted: Tue, 8 Apr 2025
Last weekend the Vocalescence ladies had their annual retreat.
With a few beautiful words from our TC Gill Morgan and some pictures for proof, here’s a little summary of our feelings…
“To our incredible song sisters, thank you for your courage, vulnerability, flexibility and adaptability… You have embraced new learning with open hearts, encouraged and inspired one another and motivated each one of us in ways words can scarcely express.
To all the individuals who stood in front of the chorus in any way this weekend, you were nothing short of fabulous!”
We were extremely lucky to have the amazing Kate Sinclair, director of the Waikato Rivertones Chorus coaching us this retreat and level up our competition package!
Absolute overwhelming gratitude goes out to our director extraordinare, Jen Irvine, we are the luckiest chorus in the world to have you at the helm showing us that together we are capable of creating amazing things!
6 weeks until we cross the stage in Hobart at the Sweet Adeline’s regional contest, and we can’t wait to show the world what Vocalescence is capable of!

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.
Judi is always putting her hand up to help in any way she can, and we can not imagine our chorus without her. Not only is she an integral part of our Lead section, she is also a member of our music team as our Music Team Coordinator.
Congratulations Judi, so well deserved! We love you!
