Wall of Fame - Beth Sacco
MEMBER VOTED TO WALL OF FAME
       
       
Members of the Crescent City Sound Chorus of Sweet Adelines International voted Beth Sacco into the Sweet Adeline Wall of Fame. This honor is given to a member who has distinguished herself as a dedicated member. Beth has been a member of Sweet Adelines International for 10 years and sings bass in the Crescent City Sound Chorus. In her own works, “I am a firm believer that half of life is just showing up. I try to go everywhere I am invited because you never know what experiences await you. I am so happy I attended my first CCSC rehearsal 10 years ago after being invited, My life was changed for the better because of all the amazing friendships I have made through barbershop.” Beth also sings bass in the Toulouse quartet and serves as the chorus finance coordinator. She has held several leadership positions throughout the years such as Events Coordinator, Finance Coordinator, and Team Leader. She has always felt that if there was something that needed doing, she would step in to apply her skills as well as learn new ones. Beth was recognized in Houston at the Sweet Adelines International Region 10 competition that was held March 24-25. CCSC is always looking for new members. If interested in becoming a member call Hope at 504-535-4533 or email membership@crescentcitysound.com see website crescentcitysoundchours.com.

 

Director Voted to Hall of Fame

 Date Posted: Wed, Apr 5 2023
Director Voted to Hall of Fame
DIRECTOR VOTED TO
REGIONAL HALL OF FAME
       
            Each year the Regional Management Team of the Great Gulf Coast Region 10 of Sweet Adelines International, encompassing chapters in portions of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, selects for their Hall of Fame one member whose contributions to the region have helped further the mission of providing opportunities for education, performance, leadership, and personal growth to advance 4-part a cappella singing. The 2023 Hall of Fame honoree is Mary Beth McMurray, the director of the Crescent City Sound Chorus in New Orleans, LA. 
Mary Beth McMurray is what you’d call a long-time barbershopper, often called a barbershop brat.  Our research finds that this lady was only 8 years old when her mother, Kay McMurray, became a charter member of the Baton Rouge Chorus in 1960. Mary Beth was too young to join the chorus but would do her homework behind the risers while singing the tenor part along with the chorus.  Somewhere between high school and college graduations she became a regular member on the risers. She attended Southeastern Louisiana University and obtained both Bachelor of Music Education and a Masters in Vocal Music degrees.   
Mary Beth took over directing the Baton Rouge chorus when her mother stepped down and lead them to multiple top-5 regional finishes and the 1989 regional championship. In 1995 she retired as a music teacher in the Baton Rouge School District and moved to Fort Smith, Arkansas.  During her years in Fort Smith, Mary Beth worked for a number of years with Girl Scouts and also as a substitute teacher (still doing that - band directors and choir directors love having Mary Beth come in to be their sub) and has always stayed in close contact with Region 10 friends and continued coaching and attending most Region 10 events and competitions.  Crescent City Sound Chorus asked Mary Beth to be their director in 2010. Even though she lives in Fort Smith the chorus was able to setup Skype at rehearsals and Mary Beth drives down at least once a month to rehearse with the chorus in person.
Mary Beth has served the Region 10 Music Education Faculty and spent 5 years as Director of Musical Activities, well known as the DMA. She has also traveled to coach choruses in Region 10 and served as a mentor to other directors.
I am sure that you will all agree that Mary Beth McMurray exemplifies the leadership, commitment, and dedication and educational traits that we hope to find in our Hall of Fame members.
Congratulations to Mary Beth on this well-deserved recognition.
 

East Region 10 Connection!

 Date Posted: Mon, Apr 3 2023
East Region 10 Connection!

Sweet Adelines Great Gulf Coast Region 10 is a Region dominated by Texans! The Louisiana and Mobile, Alabama choruses do their best to travel to Texas for Regional Meetings and the Annual Competition weekend.  However, only at competition weekend are most of the chorus members present.  This year, the Crescent City Sound Chorus decided to host a gathering of the choruses on the East side of Region 10 on Thursday night of contest weekend 2023.  The five choruses gathered together lead by Crescent City Sound Director, Mary Beth McMurray, to sing together and get to know each other.  They started with a line dance to get the blood pumping and adrenaline moving, then sang some fun warm ups followed by rounds where they walked around and sang to each other identifying those singing the same part.  

Azalea City Harmony Director, Pat Hegwood, Baton Rouge Director, Sherry Barron, Bayou Blend represented by Euna Poole, Crescent City Sound Director, Mary Beth McMurray and Piney Hills Harmony Director, Candice Bassett introduced their choruses.  Not able to attend was Bayou Blend Director, Daniel Zeagler.

Marci Haack Weatherford, the Rooms and Meals coordinator for the convention, made it all possible.  She made an appearance to say hello and bring each member a stick-on flower to symbolize the “blooming” of new relationships. 

They learned a tag and sang regional songs to complete their time together.  The one hour event fostered new relationships between all of the chorus members that would not have ever happened without the dedicated time together.  The combined chorus singing was a wonderful start to the 2023 Competition weekend, and plans are underway to get these choruses together again in the future.

D.E.I. Task Force Statement

 Date Posted: Tue, Aug 25 2020
D.E.I. Task Force Statement
The Crescent City Sound Chorus, a Sweet Adelines International chapter, has developed a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force. This group is dedicated to taking the necessary steps needed in becoming more accepting and inclusive of all its chorus members--potential, current, and past. As a chorus, we have always embraced anyone who walks through our doors with open arms, and want those who invest their time in us to feel welcome and accepted. Our goal is to make sure we are doing everything within our power to see that ANY person feels this way, whether in our audience, a visitor, or as a chorus member!
The Task Force developed a statement that was issued on the Crescent City Sound Chorus' social media accounts. You can read this statement here. This is our jumping off point. We know through this statement, three things have become abundantly clear: 1. We must commit long term to this work. 2. Sweet Adelines International leaders and chorus members affiliated with the organization are committed to supporting each other in this work. 3. That work starts within and must begin, in earnest, now.

VIRTUAL CHORUS

 Date Posted: Sat, May 30 2020

Virtual Chorus

Covid-19 has affected everything and everyone in today’s world, including the Crescent City Sound Chorus.  The last time the chorus sang together was March 9, following the Friends and Family performance on March 8.

But Director Mary Beth McMurray cannot be stopped. She organized  rehearsals each Monday night on ZOOM, and as usual, she had a lesson plan. She organized a social, then physical warm ups, vocal warm ups, video instructions, and section rehearsals where she put each group in its own “room."  The Rah Rah’s entertained with skits or games.

“We sing together but that is so difficult because we can’t hear each other” said member Debbie Mora.  “We love seeing our sister in harmony.  For some of us it is the highlight of our week.”

Mary Beth’s latest innovation was a virtual chorus. The chorus was issued a challenge while learning a new song, ”Locomotion.” Each member was asked to record her part and send it to be "stacked" with the others in her section.  Using an audio editing program, Mary Beth put the voices together by section, then put the four parts together.

“The Covid-19 Quarantine has severely limited our ability to sing together at the same time as a chorus.  However, we have been able to make ‘lemonade out of lemons’ and use the time for personal improvement and expansion of the chorus repertoire.  We are learning more about many topics regarding the voice  and figuring out new technology  to use to stay connected through our Zoom meetings,” she explained,

Their latest song, "It's The Music That Brings Us Together," written and arranged by Clay Hine says it all!

“The music will never stop as long as our members have faith and the will to succeed despite the quarantine.” said McMurray.  “Music is such a uniting and spiritual force.  “‘Locomotion' shows that CCSC chorus will continue to move forward as long as we have a voice!”

Thank you all who volunteered for this first project and thank you Mary Beth for leading our chorus into a bright future with the help of technology.

2018 a Cappella Pitch Camp, a Successful First Year!

 Date Posted: Fri, Jun 22 2018

Thanks to a generous grant from the New Orleans Hash House Harriers, made possible by their yearly Red Dress Run event,  Crescent City Sound Chorus was able to host our first Young Women in Harmony Pitch Camp!

Pitch Camp was a fun, one-week workshop that introduced participants to the Sweet Adelines International program called “Young Women in Harmony."  This educational program targeted young women ages 12 to 26 and offered over 16 hours of music education, culminating in a free community performance.  

The program had 16 participants from all over the New Orleans area.  The participants were enthusiastic and engaged in the education process.  With donated facilities from Delgado and the University of New Orleans, and the NOH3 grant, Pitch Camp was able to provide an excellent, diverse educational experience.

In preparation for Pitch Camp, CCSC completed an aggressive educational outreach campaign to over 90 schools and private groups.  This included personal visits to many schools and a marketing campaigns to introduce our organization to the community as well as to music educators.  We offered in-class music education programs as part of the outreach.  We were able to give a class at Sacred Heart Academy this Spring.

Within just 48 hours of posting the Pitch Camp performance on Facebook live, (Click Here to view it ) there were over 800 views and the post reached over 1450 people.  That is a very strong start from a small group for our first time running this event!  

Based on our Pitch Camp success and the enthusiasm for this music education program, we intend to pursue making Pitch Camp an annual event!  

CCSC would like to thank all those involved with Pitch Camp including, parents, participants, educators, NOH3, Delgado, University of New Orleans, and of course, our Pitch Camp committee and CCSC members and staff that worked so hard to bring this educational program together!

See you next Summer!
