On Wednesday December 11, 2024, representatives of Merrimack Valley A Cappella were invited to participate in the “Inside Lowell” podcast. Hosted by Tenesha Charlotte, the foursome, comprised of Becky King (tenor), Janet Mulligan (lead), Linda Greene (baritone), and Patti Newman (bass), answered questions and offered information about MVA to the community. They also provided a little sampling of the barbershop craft, performing Gee But it’s Good to be Here and White Christmas.

MVA was blown away this past weekend by the talents of our retreat coach, Kim Wonders. Kim is the master director of the award-winning Metro Nashville Chorus. With her fortes in vocal skills, sound, expression, characterization, and putting the visual with the vocal, she took us to a higher level.

We spent Friday night rehearsing and honing our musical and performing skills. Saturday, we worked tirelessly on our Open Division package, fine-tuning our props handling and wardrobe change. After rehearsal, we rewarded ourselves with a relaxing dinner out together — something we haven’t done for the last two years!
