Judy Sisson named to regional Wall of Fame

Each year, a member from each chorus is named to the regional Wall of Fame and is honored during competition weekend.  This year, our honoree was Judy Sisson, Piney Hills Harmony president and bass section leader.  Here, she poses with the award display in Houston.

Here is what her award said:

"Judy Sisson joined Piney Hills Harmony in 1999 and has been an extremely valuable and respected member ever since. Judy is currently serving her 2nd consecutive term as president and also served consecutive terms in the mid-2000's. Other current posts include bass section leader and chair of the Bylaws and Rules Committee. She has been a member of 2 quartets – Sweet Harmony and Bella Bleu – both of which participated in regional competition and brought much pleasure to their Louisiana audiences. Her lovely, resonant, strong bass voice is the envy of many. In 2002, while PHHC was a member of Region 25, Judy was voted the chorus' Sweet Adeline of the Year.

"Judy faithfully attends regional events and frequently attends international competitions – and can't wait to get home to share the excitement and knowledge that she gained during her SAI travels.

"In addition to her musical and administrative skills, Judy is always willing to lend a helping hand or a listening ear to anyone in need. She serves as a wonderful example of a loving, compassionate individual.

"In her non-chorus life, Judy is an optician/ophthalmic technician at Haik Humble Eye Center in Monroe. In that capacity she makes annual trips to Central America with a medical mission team that provides eye care to the poor and underprivileged. She has 2 children, 5 grandchildren and 2.5 great-grandchildren."

Congratulations, Judy!  We love and appreciate you!!!

Spring 2019 Regional Sweet Adelines competition

Leading up to our 2019 competition, Lillian Brown was sung in as a dual member. Mary Helen Tschabold afixes her angel pin during the ceremony.  During the sing-in, we form a Circle of Love around the new member, hold hands and sing the meaningful "How We Sang Today."

In the middle photo are two of our rookies who represented us during the Flag Ceremony.  We're so proud of them!

The bottom photo is our official 2019 contest photo, snapped as we were on stage, immediately after we finished our set.  We had a wonderful time in Houston during Sweet Adeline International's Region 10 competition.
