Spirit of Syracuse Chorus and Sound Byte Quartet place in Inaugural Region 15 Contest
The Spirit of Syracuse chorus and three performing quartets traveled to Albany, NY, for their first competition in the newly reconfigured Greater NY/NJ Region # 15 of Sweet Adelines International. Many of us participated in the Mass Sing on the Capitol steps at 12:00 noon on Friday, April 11. Later that afternoon, our quartets took the stage at the Empire State Convention Center. Pitch Session, Skylark, and Sound Byte gave terrific performances, and Sound Byte was awarded the 4th place medal out of 22 competing quartets.
On Saturday, 79 members of the Spirit of Syracuse performed as lucky number 13 of 16 competing and 4 non-competing choruses. How exciting to take home the 2nd place medal in our first appearance in our new region! Check back for a link to our contest video.
