Alberta Gold is hosting Bring a Friend Night on October 7, where we're inviting our women friends to come to a rehearsal and see what it's all about. No forms to fill out, no obligation to join, just for fun and interest (we will have some social time at the end of the evening). We'd love to consider you our friends, so if you're interested, consider a visit on October 7, 2024, 7 p.m., Symons Valley United Church.

Celebration in Person!

Louise Percy — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 22:45:08 +0000

It's nice to be singing and celebrating together again, IN PERSON! Alberta Gold returned to in-person rehearsals on October 25, 2021, fully masked and fully vaxxed. It hasn't been without challenges - the masks are warm, the sound is muffled and sometimes it can be difficult to hear - but the joy of singing together is evident each time we come together. On December 13, we enjoyed a holiday celebration with singing, laughing and lots of silliness. We were also pleased to participate in our first casino fundraiser since pre-COVID in December, as well as some sweet fund-raising with Purdys chocolates. We are looking forward to a busy 2022, with an intention to send in a competition video for regional competition, and lots of singing and coaching along the way.

We are on a break until January 10, 2022, but if you would like to join us then for an in-person rehearsal or find out more about what we do, please contact us at albertagoldchorus@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you!

Special guests - No Strings

No Strings, our current regional quartet champion, was with us on May 17 to teach us about the special characteristics of each section in a barbershop chorus, and how we can best sing our parts. They shared their wisdom and their wit, and the evening was enjoyed by all. No Strings has a special place in Alberta Gold's heart and we were very glad to see them on Monday, and look forward to hearing them sing again in person!

Unmuted in 2021!

What a weekend! Region 26 of Sweet Adelines International held its first ever virtual convention this past weekend. While nothing can compare to the feeling of being in person and singing on stage, this weekend sure had something for everyone and did not disappoint. Thursday evening we recognized those who contribute above and beyond around our region, Friday was quartet day, with virtual presentations by our region's quartets, and Saturday was chorus day, where choruses entertained with their virtual offerings. Alberta Gold was pleased to debut our new virtual song Dancing Queen. We hope you enjoy! Thanks to those who organized a fabulous virtual event - Region 26 is going strong!
