Golden Sands Chorus is a membership organization of female singers, who meet regularly to practice, perform, socialize, and have fun. We currently have over 50 singers of all ages, all walks of life, and all parts of the Greater Long Beach area.
The main purpose of Golden Sands Chorus is to get out and sing for our community. We sing at annual shows, a number of community events, and at an annual competitions. We also perform Singing Telegrams around Mother's Day and during the holidays. We are available to sing at your next function or event. If you're looking for a unique musical experience to liven up your event, please check out our Hire Us section.
In addition to sharing our music with others, another great passion of ours is learning more about the art of acapella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals, and a very important component of the chorus experience. A couple of times a year, we will get coaching from a visiting master in the art of barbershop, where we learn many fabulous tricks of the trade.
In the spring of every year, Golden Sands Chorus participates in the Region 11 chorus competition in Bakersfield, CA. Competitions are a special time for quartets and choruses from our region to come together to sing for each other, and get some constructive feedback from a panel of judges. We are currently the 3rd place chorus for mid-sized groups and 4th place chorus overall in our region. The winners of the regional competition in both quartet and chorus categories get to travel to International Competition, which is held in the fall in a city selected each year. In 2009, International Competition will be held in Nashville.
Most choruses have a number of members who form their own vocal quartets in addition to singing with the chorus. Golden Sands Chorus currently is home to two quartets, and we are very proud of them!
