Honour Roll



Emily Hirtle

The Heart Award

 

Awarded to Emily Hirtle

This was originally called the Marg Montgomery Heart Award, in memory of a long time, well-loved member of Sweet Adelines and member of the chorus.

In 1998, the Management Team created this award to preserve the best of Marg for many years to come. Each year in April, the outgoing management team chooses one member of our chorus to receive this award. 

The key attributes of the member of The Heartland Singers that receives this honour includes:

  • A keen and frequently-used sense of humour
  • A commitment to the chorus in every way: attendance, attitude, work ethic
  • A friendly and outgoing nature and a sense of hospitality extended to guests and fellow members
  • A genuine attraction and devotion to the younger and newer members of the chorus
  • A keen promoter of excellence in our art form, including support for quartets
  • A positive, cheerful and optimistic nature
  • A member who has demonstrated these attributes consistently over a number of years
