The Dogwood Blossoms Chapter of Sweet Adelines International formed in 1980 and officially became a chapter when they received their charter in October 1981. Since that time the chorus has grown in number and most of all musically as we strive to improve those barbershop chords. Currently the chorus members represent four counties and ten cities and towns.
The Dogwood Blossoms Chorus has entertained audiences throughout central
Ohio. We perform annually at Ye Olde Mill and The Dan Emmett Music and Arts Festival. The chorus also sings at area nursing homes, churches, banquets, reunions and other meetings. Our repertoire includes old standards, pop, country, gospel and Broadway. To contact us to schedule a performance, please call Susan Baldeschwiler at 740-398-8712.
The chorus regularly competes with other Sweet Adeline groups in Regional Competition. We won the Most Improved Chorus Award in 1988 and 2000.
In 2005, the Dogwood Blossoms were selected to be a representative of the State of
Ohio in the 2005 National Festival of the States, in
Washington, D. C. We performed at the Jefferson Memorial, the World War II Memorial and the Fairfax Military Retirement Community. The members of the chorus also placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the
Arlington
National
Cemetery.
The Dogwood Blossoms Chorus meets almost every Tuesday evening at ThePlace@TheWoodward at
111 South Main Street
,
Mount Vernon,
OH. Rehearsals begin at
7:30. All women who enjoy singing are invited to attend a rehearsal. For more information, contact Maureen Hunter at 740-668-7222.
