Meet Paula!
Occupation: Retired Materials Forecasting Analyst
Paula joined the Spirit of Syracuse in September of 1995 as a Lead! She was introduced to Sweet Adelines by women in her church choir. They were originally a part of a different chorus, but when that director retired she found the Spirit of Syracuse. When she came to her first rehearsal, there were no cars in the parking lot! She ended up spotting women carrying riser backs and followed them to a new location (it happened to be a night they were testing a new rehearsal space). Since joining, she has tried to attend every international competition and has been to over 15 of them! Her favorite memory is filling in as Lead in a quartet, Jazzberry, to perform Singing Valentine's. A reporter from the Post Standard joined them that day and the experience was written up in the paper! We are honored to have you in the chorus, Paula!
