SUMMER SING 2022 A RESOUNDING SUCCESS
Date Posted: Tue, 5 Jul 2022
| Seaside A Cappella launched its annual Summer Sing program on June 29, with the tagline Do You Like to Sing? Apparently, the answer is a resounding “Yes!” Nearly 40 women attended the first night, and a dozen more are expected for Week 2. The program runs over seven Wednesdays. Women were invited via Facebook, the website, posters, and word of mouth to come out, learn and sing a song with the chorus, find out all about a cappella singing, meet new people, and… just have fun! There may even be a public performance to look forward to at the end of it all! This is the fourth in-person Summer Sing program for Seaside A Cappella. The chorus held a virtual program during the last two years, and still managed to attract several women who like to sing. |
JUDY COMEAU HONOURED AS VOLUNTEER
Date Posted: Wed, 27 Apr 2022
| Seaside A Cappella is immensely proud of Music Director Judy Comeau who was honoured as a Special Citizen by the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg. The honour recognizes Judy's dedication as a volunteer. Here's what the organizers had to say: Each year the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg recognizes volunteers from across MODL that work to make their communities a better place to live through their volunteer efforts. From the overall list an individual is chosen to represent all the volunteers of MODL at a provincial volunteer recognition event in Halifax. At the MODL Council meeting of April 12th, an individual was chosen to be the MODL representative and that person is Ms. Judith A. Comeau, of Pleasantville. Ms. Comeau established a show chorus called Seaside A Cappella representing the Town of Bridgewater as members of Harmony, Inc., an international organization of women singers. She volunteers 5-8 hours per week, with many more hours dedicated to preparing for performances. Her combination of energy, enthusiasm, experience, and skill are what set her apart as an inspiring director. Although she works with a Music Team and a Board of Directors, Judy leads the chorus with a vision based on over 50 years in barbershop organizations, directing and coaching several award-winning choruses across Canada. Her goal is "ordinary women coming together to make extraordinary music". She emphasizes the educational aspect of the organization, teaching singers to produce the exact same sound at the same time, focusing on producing correct vowel sounds and using proper vocal techniques. Ms. Comeau has racked up an impressive list of honours in various competitions through the years, including International Championships in 2008-2009, and again in 2012-2013, silver medal showings at the National Musical Festival put on by CBC Radio, and at the World Choir Games, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Comeau's passion has taken her as far away as St. Petersburg, Russia, with her previous chorus for a seven day concert tour, at the invitation of the Russian Ministry of Culture." Congratulations to Judy Comeau on this newest award to her resume. | |||

Seaside A Cappella Honours Linda Brehaut
Date Posted: Tue, 27 Oct 2020
| Seaside A Cappella is very proud to have Linda Brehaut as an Honorary Member. A dual member with Valley Voices, Linda served as President and later as Past President of Seaside A Cappella since its inception. She was instrumental in laying the foundation and moving us through the gate to charter status in 2018. We first announced Linda's Honorary Membership at our 2020 AGM, however, we were not able to make a presentation at that time because of pandemic restrictions. However, on October 19, Music Director Judy Comeau and Past President Yvonne Rafuse were honoured to be able to meet with Linda in person to finally present her with a framed certificate. We were pleased that Deb Moreau of the Valley Voices accompanied Linda, as she too was a founding member of Seaside A Cappella. Shown: Linda Brehaut, far left, with Yvonne Rafuse and Judy Comeau, standing, and Deb Moreau. |
