An OLD friend .............

 

We were rehearsing the night before our performance at Convention when a chorus who had been using an adjoining rehearsal space had to leave via our room.
I was 'chilling out' between songs (as you do) and aimlessly watching the girls from Harvey Bay Seabelles filing thru' the room when .............. I saw a familiar face!
It was Elvy, an old friend from Narrabri who I hadn't seen for at least 15years!
I dashed out and grabbed her - to her surprise - until she recognised me that was!
We caught up for a chat and reminise at the bar the next night.
The kids were surprised when I told them I had seen 'Mrs Elvy!' - she had taught them all at Pre-School.
It's a small world made smaller by my friends in Sweet Adelines.

The fashion Parade ....

 

Karen and Jill looking pretty spiffy in the marigold jackets.
AND - Denise sure made an entrance in the Tails!
GO GIRLS!

Cobie and Joy say 'goodbye' to WHC

 

 

Cobie has moved up to Sydney to Epping to live closer to her place of employment and Joy is heading off to the Continent for an extended holiday.
We wish them both well and hope they will come back to visit us when they can.
We'll miss you guys!

Are we excited?

 

All the hard work has paid off!
Not quite 600 points but 591 is pretty good I reckon.
Awarded first in the AA medium sized chorus and second over all.
Second in Australia is a reat effort.
Well done Jan and well done WHC!

The Make-Up Police!

 

In order to get our make up just right we were allocated to rooms at Wrestpoint where a make up 'checker' oversaw all of the stages of our make up application.
THEN came the big guns!
Some of us were sent back for MORE, MORE, MORE .....

The Mass Sing ....

 

What a great experience to be able to sing with so many other Sweet Adeline sisters.

Jan and Tonic do us proud ...

 

Here are the girls as they came off stage.
Well done - 9th in Australia!

The Eyes have it ............

 

Here is a collage of part of our performance for family and friends the next day.
Everyone was pretty switched on and feeling ready for our foray to Hobart in just 4 days time.
Here comes WHC we're on our way to the top!
