Quartet Questions?

CTH members, Collene and Diane, embarked on a day trip to Joliet, Illinois to engage in a fun and informative afternoon of learning about the nuances of quartet singing.  Topics included finding the right vocal matches to knowing what your goals will be as a group, plus so much moré!  Keep your eyes peeled for more Region 3 events to continue growing in your musical life.  After all, “Tomorrow’s another day…”


Welcome, Camille!

Crosstown Harmony welcomed a guest to our rehearsal this week.  Camille was looking for a choral fit here in her new country and found us online.  We’re glad you did, Camille!


MVE Shines and Surprises

The MVE Chorus brought joy, energy, and laughter to Monday night’s rehearsal.  Crosstown was proud to be a test group for them as they head to Internationals next weekend.  Their performance for us was amazingly good.  We’re hoping they wow the judges at the competition and come home with some fun hardware.  (Since MVE requested we don’t post any stills or videos of them until after the competition, here’s a pic of our go-to gal, Kari!


Crosstown Chords Ring at Summer League Baseball Game

Athletes are known to play through the pain.  Occasionally, choir members do, too, as tenor Rochelle Hackmann, one-and-a-half-days post op from emergency surgery brought her incredible high notes to be with her choir sisters as they performed the national anthem at today’s Lakeshore Chinooks game.

Fourteen ladies of Crosstown sang to a welcoming audience and received positive feedback on their rendition of the song.

It was a fun family afternoon filled with good baseball, kids contests, cheering, singing, and making memories.
