Crosstown Harmony spread lots of Christmas cheer at the Burlington Christmas Parade & Tree Lighting Ceremony on Friday, December 6th, 2024.
The event was full of sweets, happiness, and fantastical floats that glide through the historic downtown and Crosstown Harmony was there in our annual tradition of caroling the streets starting at the parade to get everyone in a festive mood.
Crosstown Harmony Chorus brought their musical talents to the Aurora Grafton clinic for their Bariatric Holiday Party. They had a great time singing with an appearance by the big guy himself, Santa! A unique healing environment in the heart of Grafton. As the only ‘green’ medical center in Wisconsin, this facility was designed with your health and the environment in mind. You’ll find an extraordinary team of doctors, nurses and caregivers, along with exceptional amenities at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton. To learn more about Aurora Grafton visit their website here.
The New Berlin Senior Citizen Center invited Crosstown to perform at their annual Christmas party at the New Berlin Golf Course. Everyone in the crowd was looking good in their festive attire and we especially enjoyed when they participated in some of our sing alongs. We hope to be back again in the new year.

Crosstown Harmony welcomed special guest coaches Karen Sweeters and her sister Gina Kaiser to share their knowledge and skills in barbershop during our semi-annual weekend retreat.
With over 35 years in Sweet Adelines International, Karen has gone from singing "on the risers" to directing Harmony on the Sound, 15 time North Atlantic Region 1 Champions, located in Trumball, Conneticut. She's also a Certified Judge in the Expression Category and has escalated to the top level of Sweet Adelines musicianship as a Master Director.
Every year, Sweet Adelines International’s international convention draws the world’s best female, barbershop a cappella groups to compete in a fierce competition of worldwide, top talent as quartets and choruses contend for the championship title. More than 5,000 people from all over the world attend our International Convention & Competition to see the barbershop battle of the best. This year's competition was in Kansas City so Crosstown Members got together for a Kansas City BBQ themed party to watch the live stream of the competition. Filled with great singing, hilarious skits and catchy music it was a fun filled day of Barbershop.
Crosstown members attend their monthly rehearsal in costume for a bit of Halloween fun. We'd love to have you singing on the risers with us too! Join us every Monday at 7pm at Auxano Church in Elm Grove.
Saturday, October 19th was Crosstown Harmony Night at the HOME OPENER for the Milwaukee Admirals where we sang the National Anthem before the game. We just love getting out in the community supporting our local teams. Consider hiring us for your next event!
Our audience was transported to exotic places through song in our fall show “Cruising with Crosstown” Sunday, September 29. Patrons were treated to exceptional music, delighted in the hilarious antics from our actors, and entered in chances to win a fabulous raffle basket, or grabbed a sweet treat from our bake sale. We had such a good time and appreciate everyone who came out to see the show, thank you!

Many of their alumni have gone on to play in Major League Baseball, including Owen Miller of our Milwaukee Brewers! This game was against the Madison Mallards. It was a fun evening cheering on these elite collegiate athletes!
