We always love having Rob come coach the chorus! We soaked up so much great advice and energy during his visit last week! Not only did he coach the chorus, but a handful of chorus members got short PVI sessions in between working our contest songs. Here are those four folks:
We had an incredible time earlier this month doing a nice big sing-out with our friends from across the lake. Thank you so much to A Cappella Northwest (both Northwest Sound and Northwest Mix) for hosting us! We sang songs both together and for each other, listened to quartets sing, and did some tagging, of course. Here's to more barbershop togetherness in the future!!
We had a ton of fun for this year's National Night Out! The chorus split into groups (four quartets and one VLQ - Very Large Quartet), and spread song throughout the Queen Anne and Magnolia neighborhoods. In total our singers performed for over 30 block parties! Here are some action shots:

Thanks to John B for teaching us a fun tag at afterglow last night! Here are a couple of quartets singing:
We had fun singing to passers-by at the Queen Anne Farmers Market this week! There were fifteen chorus members, total, who came together to entertain the crowds. We may have entertained even more folks during our post-farmers market afterglow!
Big thanks to new chorus member Rosemary for swinging by and singing a couple of songs with us, and getting a few better photos, while she was at it:
Come check out our rehearsal some Tuesday evening, or swing by at the QAFM. We will probably be crooning away most Thursday afternoons this summer. Stop by and say hi!
The chorus is on a roll! We were happy to learn that two new (former) guests have joined the chorus officially -- just between last week's rehearsal and this week's rehearsal! We're so happy to have Rosemary join our team of leads, and Glenda is joining the distinguished baritone section. We're so happy you've joined the chorus!
We were so happy to officially welcome new member Jesse to the SeaChordsmen this week at rehearsal! Here we are "singing him in..."
Join us some Tuesday! More info here: https://seachordsmen.org/public-performances
A giant cheers and thank you to the crew that made the set for It's a Pirate's Love for Me so appealing! Jim D was the mastermind behind the set and staging, Mindy took point on props, Aaron provided a space to do all of the set construction and painting, and lots of chorus members pitched in with paint, supplies, time, and moving things around to make the show happen. You all are rock stars!
Here's some set prep in the run-up to the show:
We have a few more shout-outs to share as we wrap up our 2024 summer show, It's a Pirate's Love for Me! Here's a peek behind the scenes as the actors prepped for the show, along with the chorus...

We're STILL riding high from our fantastic summer show - A Pirate's Love for Me!, which went off without a hitch over the weekend!
All of that plus our NINE GUESTS at rehearsal this week! It was a great rehearsal and our guests brought incredible positive energy and talents. We hope they all come back!
But wait -- there's more! It was also CC's birthday! We had a great time at afterglow, singing show songs, polecats, and a handful of tags.
Here's guest Nathan singing a tag at the end of the night with CC, Aaron, and Billy.
