Emerald City Chorus members can attest to the fact that dreams do come true!
In late 2006 we envisioned a vibrant and thoroughly motivated chorus with new goals and visions. Most of all we wanted
to have fun! As we come together each week for rehearsal, we experience wonderful camaraderie, the best possible musical education
and the exhilarating feeling of singing one of America's original art forms, barbershop harmony. Goosebumps have
been known to appear on many occasions!
Emerald City's membership is
currently approaching 40 and is chartered as a chapter of Sweet Adelines International.
Sweet Adelines International is a worldwide
organization of women singers committed to advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony through education and performances.
This independent, nonprofit music education association is one of the world's largest singing organizations for women.
"Harmonize the World" is the organization's motto.
The international membership of nearly 27,000
women, all singing in English, includes choruses in most of the fifty United States as well as in Australia, Canada, England,
Finland, Germany, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Scotland, Sweden, Wales and the Netherlands. There are also prospective choruses
in Denmark, Greece and United Arab Emirates. The organization encompasses more than 1,200 registered quartets and 600 choruses.

| Emerald City Chorus - 2008 Competition | |||||||||
Emerald City Chorus competed in our second regional competition on April 4, 2009. In a field of 15 choruses in Region 7, we scored 519 points to finish one point out of 5th place. We are proud of this accomplishment as a two year old chorus with seven new members that have joined the chorus. Emerald City was presented an award for the most new competing members this year.
Can you picture yourself on stage with others such as yourself, wearing a sparkling costume and singing in beautiful four-part harmony? This has been the dream of many of our members that has come true. It can happen for you! Come see for yourself. You'll discover:
