Spring Contest is just a few days away, and all of Seneca Land
will gather at Roberts Wesleyan College to crown a new District
Chorus Champion. The Chorus of the Genesee won last year, so
we're not eligible to compete, but we will be "singing away the
trophy".
The Annual Show is also close by. The Chorus has been working
hard on new songs and new choreography to make this the biggest
performance of the year. If you've never seen the Chorus at
Theater on the Ridge, you're missing out!
Seneca Land District Spring Convention
The Chorus of the Genesee will be performing their last songs
as Seneca Land District 2001 Chorus Champions this
weekend. Twenty-four quartets will compete for a chance to
sing in the International Quartet Contest this Summer in
Portland, Oregon. Seventeen choruses will vie for the title fo
Seneca Land District 2002 Chorus Champions. The Chorus of the
Genesee will only be singing two songs Saturday night, but the
whole weekend is a great opportunity to experience the
barbershop form at its most pure. Two quartets from the
Rochester Chapter, Reunion and Fever Pitch, will be competing.
