T
he Scottsdale Chorus is “jumping for joy” to be your 2019 International Champion Chorus! Winning the gold is such an honor and privilege. We extend our sincere congratulations to all the competitors and in this extremely close contest, to our dear friends in Golden West Region #21, the amazing Harborlites Chorus. Each competition has its unique flavor and we believe that this run-up to St. Louis was a clear illustration of the true spirit of Sweet Adelines. Dale Syverson has coached Scottsdale for 20 years and has had a huge impact on who we are today as a chorus. Our director, Lori, coached Rich-Tone, whose performances thrilled the audience yet again. Dale is also one of Harborlites’ fine coaches. All three of these choruses, plus many other competitors in St. Louis, share directors
