Skyline Harmony Chorus Costumes
Donation protected
We are Skyline Harmony Chorus, the Charlottesville chapter of Sweet Adelines International. We sing 4-part women's a cappella barbershop music. If you've ever been to a Sweet Adelines show, you'll know that it's characterized not only by beautiful harmonies, but also by sparkly costumes that add so much to the show!
Except for ours. We perform at assisted living facilities, private parties, and public events. We usually look like this:
Nice, but it doesn't exactly stand out in a crowd.
Once a year, we compete at regional contest. In 2012, we wore this:
Yes, those are actual orange prison jumpsuits.
Then in 2014, we wore this:
Pajama bottoms and bathrobes. Most came from Wal-Mart or K-Mart.
I think it's pretty obvious that we need some new costumes! We've found some lovely, sparkly tops that will add so much to our community performances as well as our presence on the contest stage! But sparkle doesn't come cheap, and we hate to put that burden on our members. So we're hoping to share the load, that each person we reach will give just a little, and get us out of the prison jumpsuits!!
Sweet Adelines is a non-profit organization, existing to educate women in the barbershop style of music and beautify the world through harmony. Our chorus is a sisterhood of incredible women whom I am blessed to call friends. Please help us purchase costumes that complement our beautiful sound!
