About Acappella Xpress Women's Show Chorus

Acappella Xpress is a chapter of Sweet Adelines International, a worldwide organization of female singers. We meet every Thursday night to practice the art of barbershop harmony and have fun. Our members are women singers of all ages and all walks of life who come from an area surrounding 100 miles around Fargo-Moorhead.

 

Performance

The main purpose of Acappella Xpress Chorus is to get out and sing for our community. We sing at annual shows, a number of community events, and at an annual competition. We also perform Singing Telegrams around Valentines Day and Mother's Day. We are available to sing at your next function or event. If you're looking for a unique musical experience to liven up your event, please check out our Hire Us section.

Education

In addition to sharing our music with others, another great passion of ours is learning more about the art of a cappella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals, and a very important component of the chorus experience. A couple of times a year, we will get coaching from a visiting master in the art of barbershop, where we learn many fabulous tricks of the trade.

Competition

In the spring of every year, Acappella Xpress Chorus participates in the Region 6 chorus competition. Competitions are a special time for quartets and choruses from our region to come together to sing for each other, and get some constructive feedback from a panel of judges. The winners of the regional competition in both quartet and chorus categories get to travel to International Competition, which is held in the fall in a city selected each year. In 2012, International Competition will be held in Denver, Colorado.

Quartets

Most choruses have a number of members who form their own vocal quartets in addition to singing with the chorus. Acappella Xpress currently is home to a number of wonderful quartets, and we are very proud of them! Click here to see our quartet section to learn more about them.
