  Jo Ann Fernon, the soon to be retired director of the Crescent City Sound Chorus, was recently presented a Sweet Adeline Memorial Brick by members of CCSC. The Memorial Brick will be placed in the Brick Patio, behind the Sweet Adelines International Headquarters building in Tulsa, OK.
“The Brick Patio is a place of honor among Sweet Adeline members from all over the world. Over the years, family and friends of Sweet Adeline members have purchased engraved bricks in memory and celebrations of relationships to Sweet Adelines International,” said Emily Lapauble.
Fernon’s brick is engraved “Jo Ann Fernon, Genius Director, New Orleans.” She has been a
“Jo Ann Fernon is well known throughout Region 10 and International for her clever parodies. After Hurricane Katrina, she was responsible for saving CCSC . With her knowledge of barbershop harmony, quick sense of humor, and pure fortitude, she kept CCSC together,” said Sally Gagnon. CCSC will not have rehearsal December 19 and 26. Rehearsal resumes January 2 at St. Dominic Church. No rehearsal January 9. Rehearsal will be January 16 at St. Dominic Church. We will be back at Delgado January 23.

Welcome! Crescent City Sound Chorus is an extraordinary group of women who gather together in celebration of the art form known as barbershop music. We are a chapter of Sweet Adelines International, Region 10 Our director is the wonderful Jo Ann Fernon, who inspires us to reach new heights with each performance. We can be heard throughout the year, singing for civic and charitable organizations, private groups, churches, community events, and fundraisers.
We love to entertain by putting on our own musical events each year for the community, our friends, and families. We send "singing telegrams" on Mother's Day, and in an effort to stay committed to singing and performing at the highest level possible, we compete each year in a regional contest. Please contact us to sing at your next special event! Region 10 Competition Competition 2011 Call me a Cougar!!!!!  Crescent City Sound won the audience again with their original package. They sang two paradies written by director Jo Ann Fernon. |
The highest scoring Sweet Adeline choruses sing with great skill. They invest lots of money on education/coaches and have very strict rehearsal attendance requirements to keep the bar high. They consistently execute all of the technical dynamics of good singing; the left-brain. But the 2 or 3 that settle on the top of the heap are those that incorporate all that skill with HEART....those that not only sound great but delight their audience by touching them emotionally....the right-brain. Those that become the character in a story and then tell that story with feeling take the audience on a wonderful ride! THAT'S what it's all about. THAT'S what sets CCSC apart! THAT'S the reaction CCSC gets from it's audiences locally and at regional contest. And THAT'S why CCSC was invited to sing in Houston.
Crescent City Sound Chorus Rehearsals: Monday 7pm Delgado Community College, City Park Campus, third floor, Music Room.
