The show theme has many connections to us as a group of professional women who come from various careers such as healthcare, real estate, insurance, horticulture, social services, etc.. We have several active and retired educators among us. The school related theme and the charitable nature of our chorus, has motivated the supplies donation and student admission. We have collaborated with DHS in the past as a trophy and advertising sponsor for the Midwest Show Choir Competition.
About the Chorus:The Danville Sweet Adelines is an a Capella women’s barbershop chorus that has been harmonizing locally for over 50 years. Along with our annual Fall show and Christmas Luncheon/Charity Auction, we regularly perform at area events including Arts in the Park, First Fridays, nursing homes and sing the National Anthem at local sporting events.
