It was sweet victory for a local barbershop quartet last month. The Santa Monica Chorus of Sweet Adelines International took second place at the Harmony Classic Division A Competition held on July 14 in San Antonio, Tex.
The 34-member chorus, the oldest Sweet Adelines chapter west of the Rocky Mountains, apparently impressed the judges and audience with their 15-minute entertainment package.
The Santa Monica Chorus was led by their director of 19 years, Laura Pallas. Sweet Adelines International has more than 1,200 quartets all around the world,with more than 600 choruses ranging in size from 15 to 200 members, and more than 27,000 female members, all singing a cappella harmony, barbershop style.
The Santa Monica Chorus can be heard throughout the year singing for civic and private groups, churches and community events. Santa Monica teen explores Costa Rica
