Southland Harmony Chorus
Description
Southland Harmony Chorus History - The chorus was actually chartered with Sweet Adelines International under the name of "Downey Chorus" on January 7, 1985 with 27 members under the direction of Alice DeLaura. The chorus has competed at each yearly competition since its inception. Our first award was as "Most Improved Chorus" in 1989 under Alice's direction. Bobbie Dollins became our new musical director in December of 1990.
We earned the "Most Improved Chorus" award for two consecutive years, received Fourth Place Honorable Mention in 1992 and 1993, Third Place Medalist in 1995, Fifth Place in 1996, and Sixth Place in 1997. Sandy Sharpe, now Assistant Director and Lead Section Leader, took up the directorship after the untimely death of Bobbie. She lead us for two years until we found Theresa Carey. Theresa was with us for five years until her obligations to a new husband and her quartet caused her to step down. And now we have as our newest director, Stan Sharpe, who comes to us with much enthusiasm and experience.
