The Hilton Head Shore Notes Chorus is proud to introduce its new director, Melody Templeton. Educated at Ohio State University, Otterbein University and Juilliard, her vast experience will bring new direction to this chorus. Although her education began with classical music, affording her the honor of singing at Carnegie Hall with Princeton ProMusica, she later turned her attention to the theater and performed in various musicals. For five years she was a regular with an improvisational dinner theater troupe where she sang, danced and honed her performance skills.
This new annual award was created in 2018 by the Regional Executive Committee and is presented to an active, registered Coastal Harmony quartet that has had an impact on their community and fellow Sweet Adelines in terms of outreach, leadership, inspiration and in general, harmonizing the world. At least one quartet member must be registered in the Coastal Harmony region for the quartet to be eligible.
Have an original song playing in your head? The Sweet Adelines "Bursting With Song" Songwriting Contest is for you! Open to amateur or professional musicians and songwriters (barbershoppers & non-barbershoppers). Winners will be announced at the 2018 International Convention in St. Louis. Contest opens Feb. 15, 2018.
Our mission at Coastal Harmony Region 9 is to be a resource to our members. We are happy to launch this new multifunctional website to expand our abilities to communicate to members and the general public about all things Sweet Adelines.
Each Region 9 member will receive her own login credentials to access the members-only features. Each specific role, from chorus president, to competing quartet contact, will be recorded at the individual member level and will be used to expedite communications of official regional business.
