Delivering the Gift of Music this Valentine's Day

Crosstown Harmony had five quartets delivering Singing Valentines and roses all over town on Valentine's Day. Some highlights include Cool Beans singing for the Wisconsin Lutheran High choir. SASS was on closed-circuit TV singing for patients at a hospital in Racine. Nutz4Notes sang at a grocery store. Mixed Nuts sang during a water aerobics class at a gym. And To The Max visited several senior living centers and sang the oldies for residents! We LOVE our quartets. Consider hiring us to sing to your Valentine next year!

 


Coaching Makes Us Stronger

On Monday night we had the honor of learning from Master Director 700 Jim Arns!

Jim Arns has directed the Melodeers Chorus since 1988, and is one of an elite group of directors to receive the Master Director 700, created in 2009 by Sweet Adelines International to honor musical directors whose choruses score 700 points or more (out of a possible 800) in Regional Competitions.


Congratulations to our Woman of Note Sherry Bentz!

Our 2023 Woman of Note is someone who never fails to step up when volunteers are called for, showing that she takes the Sweet Adeline and the Crosstown Harmony mission, vision, and guiding principles to heart.  Whether it’s helping at making pizzas, sorting and bagging shoes, slinging suds at the Oz Fair, or just helping to set-up and take-down equipment each week at rehearsals, this member is always willing to help.  Along with that, our Woman of Note always seems to learn new music quickly and knows it very well, which is a great help to those in her section.  And she almost always says “yes” when we have chorus performances. 


How Amazing was the Amazing Grays performance?

The Amazing Gray's Social Club Luncheon's is a ministry partnership with North Cape Lutheran Church as an outreach to the senior citizens in the community. Monthly events include entertainment, informational speakers and nutritious, homemade meals. Crosstown harmony was delighted to be invited to entertain this group. They certainly were an active crowd full of banter, toe tapping and lots of laughs. Thanks for being such an amazing audience!

Bringing the sounds of the season to West Allis Christkindlmarkt

Burlington Christmas Parade brings cheer to many

The Burlington Christmas Parade is full of sweets, happiness, and fantastical floats that glide through the historic downtown, and Crosstown harmony just loves caroling the streets starting at the parade to get everyone in a festive mood. It's one event we just love doing year after year. See you again in 2023!
