Saratoga Soundtrack Chorus Sings to Second Place

On Saturday, March 29, Saratoga Soundtrack Chorus proudly won second place in

Division A (small chorus containing 12-25 singing members) and placed fifth overall (based on scores from all small, midsized, and large competing choruses) at the Greater New York/New Jersey Region 15 Annual Convention and Competition, Sweet Adelines International held in Albany.

22 accomplished singers under the direction of Jennifer Hunter took the stage to compete in four-part Barbershop style. The chorus performed a musical package exploring different aspects of finding and losing love. The opening song, “This Could Be the Start of Something Big,” was written by Steve Allen and arranged by Larry Wright. This rousing tune encouraged the listener to keep looking for love. The second song was a nostalgic look back at a relationship that ended in “From the First Hello to the Last Goodbye,” written by Johnny Burke and arranged by Jim Arns. Both songs contained adaptations by Nancy Faddegon.
