Ignite the Sound Winter Workshop - What a Weekend!

On January 27-29, 2023, Coastal Harmony Region 9 conducted our annual Winter Workshop, hosted by the incomparable queens Karen Breidert and Debbie Cleveland, and moderated by Queen Kim Elger-Griffin!

It was a time of joyful singing, learning, bonding, and love. We learned two new regional songs, sang as a region (and speaking as a pitch piper, I'm proud to say we were IN TUNE), laughed, heard fabulous music from some of our fantastic choruses and quartets. It was an amazing time, and we couldn't have asked for anything better! See below for some highlights and soon-to-be-famous Debbie quotes.


2022 SAI International Convention

In September, 2022 there was a convention held in Phoenix, AZ for the first time since 2019. Representing Region 9, our quartet Duly Noted competed, and made it to the finals as the 7th place quartet in the world. Spirit of the Gulf Chorus represented Region 9, and also made the finals, finishing 5th place in the world! Congratulations to both of our region representatives, Duly Noted and Spirit of the Gulf, and to all competitors that crossed the stage!
