Dogwood Blossoms
Chorus
Sweet Adelines Int.
We did start back on January 5th after Holiday Chorus performances were over - and it's been a really busy time!! (Complicated by the this website crashing - glad we're back!!) We had to cancel a few times for the weather and we had four weeks of coaching with David Calland that were just wrapped up early this month. We are already in the planning stages for our annual fall show - the date will be posted here soon! One other thing to expect - this year is the 250th anniversary of our country, so patriotic songs will be on the agenda too!
On top of all that, we held a quarter auction on April 11 as a fundraiser for the chorus. These events are always fun! Check out a couple of photos on our public Facebook page, "Dogwood Blossoms Chorus".
We LOVE visitors and would be delighted to welcome women and girls who like to sing to check out a rehearsal! We rehearse at the Mount Vernon Developmental Center at 1250 Vernonview Dr., in the Administration building, in the Great Hall (we sometimes have to change rooms due to scheduling conflicts, but will be on the same floor). Come have some fun singing with us - more details a bit later on this page...
The new year brings a challenge for us as we are searching for a director. We have a committee in place and hope we will have someone in place soon. If you are interested, or know someone who might be interested, please let us know. We'll be glad to share the details with any interested persons.
As mentioned above, we always welcome guests to our Monday evening rehearsals! We start to congregate about 6:30, hold a short business meeting at 6:45, and then begin to rehearse at 7:00 - come check it out! For those who do not read music (and even those who do!), we will have some learning tracks available - they really help! We meet in the administration building at the Mt. Vernon Developmental Center (the address is in bold type below, along with a map). BTW - if we need to cancel a rehearsal due to weather or any other reason, we'll post that info on our public Facebook page, "Dogwood Blossoms Chorus" - and you can find other events and items of interest there as well.
As we look forward to this year when our country celebrates its 250th birthday - we even bought some new costume items to enhance any patriotic performances. Keep us in mind - we'd love to perform the national anthem or other songs at local events.
The chorus welcomes women and girls who love to sing to our rehearsals! We meet on most Monday evenings at 6:30, hold a short business meeting at 6:45, and start rehearsal at 7:00 in the Administration Building at Mt. Vernon Developmental Center, 1250 Vernonview Drive in Mt. Vernon OH. On the second and fourth Mondays, we meet at 6:00 for some informal singing too - it's a great time to try a different part and music...
Meanwhile, the chorus wishes everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!!

Welcome!
Dogwood Blossoms Chorusis an extraordinary group of women who gather together in celebration of the art form known as barbershop music - we sing 4-part harmony music, a cappella style, in several genres. We are a chapter of Sweet Adelines International.
We can be heard throughout the year, singing for civic and charitable organizations, private groups, churches, community events, and fundraisers.
