What a great weekend we had! After finishing the amazing weekend of coaching with Jana “Relentless” Gutenson, we spent our first rehearsal without her consolidating all we have learnt. Now we're locking and ringing like never before, and loving it!
We were all invited to Count Dracula's 500th birthday party, and what an event that was! Sorcerors, vampires, zombies, ghosts, and more of Dracula's acquaintances came and filled his castle to celebrate. The night was packed with spooky treats, creepy music, and an "unexpected" murder, where all the guests pitched in to solve the mystery by unravelling secrets and piecing together clues.
The wonderful Vickie Maybury came to coach us again this week, bringing out the very best in us as always. We enjoyed having her here, teaching us more about her category of expertise - expression!

What a great weekend we had at the Mardi Gras Mask-erade! Some of us were able to make it down to Wellington to support ROXY, Jocosa's quartet, in their fundraising event.

Our master director, Jocosa Bruce, recently flew to San Antonio to attend the Directors & Visual Leaders Seminar and learn from other Sweet Adelines on how to be more amazing than she already is. She came back to rehearsal buzzing with news on how much she'd learnt, and will be teaching us many of the great things that was taught at the seminar. We have already incorporated some of them into our rehearsals and are keen to try out other new exciting things over the next few weeks.
