WHAT AN HONOR!

Silverado is proud to announce that at the recent Pride of Portland (POP) Chorus Installation and Awards Banquet, our baritone, Janice Wheeler, was chosen by the POP Master Director, Ryan Heller, to be the recipient of the Director's Award for 2010.  The Award is in recognition of her ongoing work as Music Assistant to the POP Director and Chorus.  

Janice is currently the only member of Silverado who also sings in a chorus, and she chose the top chorus in the region, rated number nine internationally.  She gets to hold her award, engraved with her name, (which we all saw tonight at quartet rehearsal) until next year's recipient is chosen.  What an honor!!  

All dressed up and ready to compete!

Clockwise from the left: Debi, Hope, Janice, Rebecca
We were Number One - really. (The first act in the show.)
The next time you see us we'll be opening an Elks baseball game in Bend with the Star Spangled Banner, arranged by our baritone, Janice, on June 24th. Then two more game openings this summer plus two shows at the Deschutes County Fair.
Come to see us on August 4, at 1 and 3 p.m.  

Competition update

Competition in Spokane is over, and Ryan Heller-Highwater said to us after hugs all around, "Well, you're not virgins anymore!"  While the experience was fun, it wasn't exactly what we had yearned for; we think we'll get better if we work on it.  ;-)

We're here!

 Introducing: SILVERADO QUARTET, a Sweet Adelines International quartet that has been singing together for about two and half years.  We're getting ready for our first competition experience in Spokane, WA, in May.  A HUGE "thankyou!" to everyone who has helped us get this far!
