Crosstown Harmony Chorus partnered with Fund2orgs to collect nearly 3000 new and used shoes. Thank you for everyone who donated
What happens to the shoes?
It’s estimated 300 million people don’t own shoes. Our shoe drive fundraiser will help provide inventory to over 4,000 micro-entrepreneurs who sell the shoes to support their families. In turn, they help themselves out of poverty with a hand up, not a handout.
On Monday, August 8th 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.
Crosstown Harmony Chorus members and friends once again served up drinks at the Ozaukee County Fair.

We hope to see you there next year!
Crosstown Harmony Chorus was delighted to perform for the residents of Sacred Heart at Monastery Lake with some toe tapping, chord ringing barbershop music this past Monday for their summer concert series. We hope to be back soon!

Sweet Adelines across Region 3 gathered in front of their televisions and computers to watch the 2022 barbershop contest. Crosstown members help a watch party to cheer on our competing quartets and were thrilled when the panel announced Crosstown as 3rd place winners. We look forward to next year when we all can compete together in person!
Lights, camera, action, CONVENTION!
Women from all over Region 3 submitted videos of their best performance package in an all out barbershop battle for the champion title. Airing of the competition and winners will be announced on Saturday May 21. Thank you to everyone who came out to support us and watch the taping. We look forward to hearing all the contestants at this years competition!
Crosstown Harmony Chorus had the honor of performing our National Anthem prior to the action packed fun of the Milwaukee Admirals game. We were astounded at how big our voices sounded in the large arena and can't wait to come back again!
This Saturday Crosstown Harmony welcomed special guest coaches Karen Sweeters and her sister Gina Kaiser to share their knowledge and skills in barbershop. 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, Connecticut. 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. Gina Kaiser is a Visual Specialist, Choreographer and Showmanship Judge extraordinaire. Together these two deliver outstanding guidance mixed with a great deal of fun!
