While we were not competing this year, Sound Connection were still well represented at Hall of Harmony in Adelaide.  Dan Beckitt and Trevor Bruger at the merchandise desk, Andrew Howson in the scoring pit, plenty of MC’s and a few quartets all flew the flag for our Association and our chorus.

We would like to congratulate both Blindside and The Festival Statesmen Chorus for their respective wins and congratulate everyone that took part in the weekend.  Our biggest thanks go to the organisers and the army of volunteers that it takes to put together a convention of this scale.

We also had a large contingent of members heading to Harmony Academy straight after convention and all reports indicate that, while there was plenty of learning, there was a heap of fun and games (and ice cream).

After a very relaxing year where Sound Connection did not compete in either the Regional or National Conventions, we are all feeling excited about getting back into the competition swing next year.  We have our Christmas concert coming up in November, where we share the stage with our sisters in Vocalescence, and then we begin the road to Hobart.  Watch out Tassie, we are coming to town and looking forward to sampling some of your famous local food and beverage offerings.
