The chorus had an exceptional time at this week's rehearsal, when Dane came to visit and coach us on a couple of songs for our upcoming summer show. Did we have fun? Yes. We even encouraged him to some to afterglow and sing some more. He taught a tag, and we also learned the Terry tag "Far Too Long." Here are a couple of groups singing the tag, including Dane.
We loved having Rick join us for this week's rehearsal -- and afterglow -- while visiting from The Sounds of Aloha chorus! Rick sang some new and some familiar songs, and taught a tag at afterglow, too.
Here's a quartet singing the tag Though You're Gone. Lead / bass Billy is on baritone... Lead Greg is on tenor... Bass John is on lead, and guest bass Rick is singing bass. We like to switch things up!
Join us again, Rick -- it was great singing with you!
We had a great time this weekend, polishing not only our quartet skills, but also spending some practice time on our two contest songs for this year.
Thanks to Dave for hosting, and thanks for all the great singing!

We had a great rehearsal this week, polishing a handful of the songs that will be featured in our summer show. Check out these octets hard at work:
And here's a taste of one of our songs:

We were charmed by (and we hope we charmed) Andrea, who joined us for a chunk of afterglow this week. We got her to sing a tag with us, numerous times, even, and she says she's going to join us at an upcoming rehearsal! We also serenaded her...
Bonus: we now have Topher's infamous wrapping up of You've Got a Friend in Me on video for posterity.
We really do have this much fun pretty much all the time. Join us!
We've been so lucky the last two weeks to have our Singing Valentine quartet members get some coaching in with Ted! We got six full hour of coaching under glass with Ted, so any chorus members who wanted to watch could come and learn along with the singers. Our Singing Valentines will be all the better for his insight!
Thank you, Ted!

The chorus got together on Sunday to celebrate 2023, and to welcome and swear in the 2024 Board of Directors. We always have a great time at this event, enjoying the change of scenery and celebrating one another.
Rod, our emcee, honored our incoming board, many of whom are new to either the board or to their specific position on the board. Here are some of the board members as Rod announced them:
What's a chorus to do on their regularly-scheduled rehearsal night once their holiday show is over? Well, the SeaChordsmen have traditionally gone caroling around the neighborhood, and this year was no exception! We had a huge group of singers show up, and we spent the evening spreading holiday cheer! Here are a few highlights:
Here we are serenading the folks at Starbucks...
Today, a VLQ of SeaChordsmen chorus members went to the service at Queen Anne Baptist Church to share some Christmas songs. The chorus has been using the church as its rehearsal space for many years, and we're happy to be part of the QABC community.
Thanks for having us, everyone!
This week the chorus was so happy to officially welcome three new members to the chorus. They've been around for a while, but now that we've "sung them in," things are official! Welcome to Leads Chris and Bonnie, and to bass Phil. We're glad you're part of the SeaChordsmen family!
