Somehow all things seem to stem from the 'Sound of Music' don't they? LOL.
I first saw Wollongong Harmony Chorus performing Christmas carols at Shellharbour Square Shopping Centre. I was 'blown away' by their sound and they seemed to be having such fun. I thought what a great bunch. I had not long moved to the area after 30 years living in country NSW so was looking for a niche for myself in the big city.
I guess this must have been Christmas 2002 as I joined up after a membership drive at Ribbonwood Centre, Dapto in early 2003.
I wasn't sure where I fitted in relation to voice part so started off and passed my audition singing Bartitone. I soon found out that the bari's sang all the notes that no-one else wanted so 'saw the light' and became a 'Brilliant Bass'!
I feel at home in the Bass section with all my 'bass buddies' (in more ways than one) and I am certainly more comfortable signing in the lower register.
I had to have my photo taken in front of this window!
By now it is May 2004 and we have travelled to Adelaide where I sang in my first Sweet Adeline's Convention. What an experience!
Here we are on stage! We came 5th - my first medal.
And of course we celebrated afterwards ........... the journey had begun!
