On Saturday 11/16 a group a singers came together for the first time at 9am and performed together that evening at 7pm. In between, they share music, laughter, pizza, snacks, and crafts.  The 2024 YWISH FESTIVAL CHORUS did an amazing job! They showed up knowing their music and ready to work together. Such a joy to spend time with these young singers!  

MNC was thrilled to hit the International Contest stage on 10/31/24, competing in the chorus semi-finals with 32 of the best Sweet Adelines choruses in the world. It was a very competitive contest this year, and we are proud of our 15th place finish.  Big congratulations to North Metro Chorus on their championship performance and to our friends in Song of Atlanta on their 2nd place medals!  Can't wait for next International!

Congratulations to VIVACE on their second place medal and to INTREPID on their 3rd place medal!

A talented performer as well as a gifted coach and teacher, Vickie Wonders Foltz was a member of the Sweet Adeline International Faculty and the Artistic Director for Metro Nashville Chorus. The impact of her approach to barbershop showmanship and characterization can be seen and heard in choruses across the United States and as far away as Sweden and New Zealand.  A teacher by profession and avocation, Vickie loved to work with young voices and help them bring their talents to new audiences. 

The 2023 World Singing Day song was LEAN ON ME. MNC Enjoyed creating this video to take part in World Singing Day on 10/21/23.

For the first time since 2019, Sweet Adelines International held a Chorus Finals on Saturday, September 17, 2022.  MNC was beyond proud to be one of the ten finalist choruses!  Every chorus presented a finals package that had style, flair, and, of course, tons of harmony!  

Our finals package was a SWEET story about candy in the display case of The Big Heart Candy Company. We had so much fun putting the story, the songs, and the costumes and props together.  Singing for a huge audience of Sweet Adelines and friends/family fill our hearts!  We are so very proud to have earned a 7th place medal!
