In Lake Ontario Region 16's first virtual competition, The Heartland Singers are thrilled to have won the Small Chorus Division A championship and earned a second-place finish overall.
Following a two-year hiatus from in-person rehearsals due to COVID-19, THS welcomed the opportunity to gather and prepare for competition. After six rehearsals together, and excellent coaching from Erin Howden, THS recorded their contest package: Beyond the Sea, and You Make Me Feel So Young. THS members gathered together to view the Region 16 Soirée broadcast as the quartet and chorus video submissions were streamed and the winners announced. Members of The Heartland Singers are thrilled with the results and humbled to be retaining the title of Division A Champions for another year!
