Pocatello
Showcase Chorus is a performing and competing chorus and has been entertaining
audiences for the past 57 years. We are a Chartered Chapter of Sweet Adelines
Int'l which is a worldwide organization of 30,000 female barbershop singers. Our members have traveled from Idaho Falls, Shelley, Blackfoot, and the Marsh Valley area, to sing with our chorus every Thursday night. We compete every year in our Region which consists of seven states, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, South Dakota and Nebraska. We have medaled many times in years past and have been in the top three in the Small Chorus Division and in the top four and five overall. We have a program to train and educate guests and new members, in the artistry and finesse of performance. |
When Mary (our director) was asked to start a Sweet Adeline group, she responded with, “ Sure, what is it?” Shortly thereafter the La Re Mi Chapter was founded in Laramie, WY. She started as a singer, then soon became involved in Chapter Administration as Chapter Sec. and Chapter President. She was appointed Assistant Director and was invited to be part of the Region 8 DMA (Director of Musical Activities) Faculty. She eventually accepted the position as Chorus Director. Her long career in Sweet Adelines began in 1968. Mary directed the chorus for approximately eight years. A change in her life brought her to Pocatello, ID. She soon joined the Pocatello Chorus, sang with them for three years, while simultaneously directing the Magic Harmony Chorus in Burley, ID. She directed this chorus for nine years. Mary was asked to be part of the Music Faculty in Region 24 and has been on the music and leadership faculty ever since. The travel time to Burley became too much so she once again sang with Pocatello Chorus. When the directorship position was open, Mary was voted by the Pocatello Chorus to be their new director. She began directing this chorus in 1993 and is still currently the Director today Mary has extensive music training and continues to attend upper division classes at every opportunity. Some of Mary’s training and background is:
"Music is
the language of the soul" |
