Having won Region 11 chorus competition in spring of 2024, Verdugo Hills Chorus will play host to the 2025 regional competition the first weekend in April.  We don't compete at regionals this year, but we will sing for evaluation and we still want to make a good showing as we begin to prepare for competing at the Sweet Adelines International Chorus Competition in October of 2025.  To that end—and with the support of a very generous donor—our leadership team has brought in multiple coaches to work with us during the first few months of 2025.  We have been delighted to learn from award-winning directors and judges, including Lisa Greenough,Alan Gordon, and Lynne Smith.  Our learning sessions can be exhausting, but they're always really fun.  We laugh a lot while we're learning!
