AWARD-WINNING ENTERTAINERS

Bay Area Showcase Chorus has been entertaining the Bay Area with a cappella music, barbershop harmony style, since 1956. The chorus, which is a chapter of Sweet Adelines International, has a reputation for musical excellence.   In April 2008, the chorus won its tenth first place medal in regional competition.

These regional wins have earned the chorus the honor of representing Northern California in several Sweet Adelines international chorus competitions. With this most recent win, we will represent the Region on the International stage in Nashville, TN in 2009. This places the chorus among the top Sweet Adelines choruses in the world.   With more than 600 choruses world-wide, this is quite an achievement.

The 135 women who are members of the chorus commute from 17 counties and more than 50 communities - from San Francisco to Monterey, east to Sacramento, one even coming from as far as New Zealand! - to sing with our high-caliber performing chorus. Members include business and professional women, homemakers, retirees, and students.  Ages have ranged from 14 to beyond telling.   Anyone who visits the chorus, or attends one of our shows, soon discovers that we provide an outlet for a diverse array of women who like to sing and dance.
The quality of the musical product is very important to the chorus.  Bay Area Showcase Chorus rehearses weekly to polish music, practice vocal production skills, refine choreography and have fun singing and performing with friends.
To improve music and performance skills Bay Area Showcase Chorus works with coaches who are experts in sound, music, showmanship, and expression.  These coaching sessions help the chorus focus on the elements that are essential in an award-winning chorus.
