Listen to what a few of our chorus members have to say about being in Spirit of the Gulf and Sweet Adelines International:
“During my 28 Sweet Adeline years, I have been blessed by "Sisters in Harmony" all around the world to help me over the little speedbumps in life. More importantly, they worked to fill the huge potholes!
Lorraine Rochefort
“I sang in "A Cappella Chorus" in high school and loved it. So, I was thrilled to learn about Sweet Adelines a cappella form of singing that offers, not only chorus, but quartetting as well."
Betty Mars
“No matter how bad a day I've had, I stand up to sing and the music helps me forget all about my bad day. Spirit of the Gulf Chorus truly lifts up MY spirits!”
Laurie Schuss
“Members of the chorus are like a huge support group, and that's not to
mention what a joy it is to hear the chords ring and feel the energy
when we are reaching our performing goals."
Roz Williams
”I joined Sweet Adelines to have a weekly break from being a full-time mom to two toddlers. It has turned into an amazing adventure filled with fun, friendship, music education, travel, and opportunity for personal growth.”
Jan Meyer
"I love Spirit of the Gulf because everyone, including the director, is loving and caring to everyone else."
Carol Ann Guthrie
"I have never in my life belonged to any organization where I actually
looked forward to attending each and every meeting. With Sweet
Adelines, and especially Spirit of the Gulf, I can hardly wait for
Tuesday evenings-- and it's 30 years that I've been doing this."
Ann Beers
"The chorus completes me and fills my heart with so much joy."
Donna Robson
"I feel six feet tall when I sing with Spirit of the Gulf."
Jackie Schmidt, who is actually less than five feet tall!
"Singing with Spirit of the Gulf is the frosting on the cake after thirty
years of joyful harmony and friendship as a member of Sweet Adelines."
Nancy Manville
"Singing barbershop with Spirit has brought joy to my life, a spring in my step, new wonderful friends, and an opportunity to keep growing and learning no matter how old I get. I think it's the best hobby in the world."
