- Virtual Chorus Attracts New Members During Pandemic
-
Date Posted: Sat, Feb 20 2021
LANSDALE, Pennsylvania – The Liberty Belles Chorus, like many others, became a virtual chorus in March 2020, due to the restrictions put on large gatherings. While this of course has had its challenges, they have continued their weekly rehearsals (via Zoom), welcomed many guest singers over the months, and have increased their membership by 10%.
“It’s actually easier for some people to come to a virtual rehearsal rather than walking into a room full of people and sing,” says Nancy Weisbein, President and Membership Chair for The Liberty Belles. Speaking from her own personal experience, Weisbein went on to explain “As an introvert … it was very hard for me to walk in the door to start my journey with the Belles. Somehow, everyone helped me feel comfortable and confident that I belonged there. I’m glad I was able to do an in person rehearsal, but virtual probably makes a lot of people feel empowered to step into the Belles family.”
During a year where people have spent a great deal of time in isolation, it has motivated them to seek out online groups where they can connect with people who have shared interests and goals. In addition to connection on a virtual level, many choruses have also found that it is important to remain “in touch” with their members on a personal level. Some choruses, such as The Liberty Belles, stay connected by adding social time to their rehearsals, or by contacting individual members via phone or handwritten letters.

"Not only did we receive the Most Improved Ranking Trophy, we were awarded the 3rd place ribbons, trailing the second place chorus by ONE point!"
The Liberty Belles' next step is to particpate in the 2019 International Contest and Convention in Sandusky Ohio on November 8th! Stay tuned!
- The Spring show a total success!

Thank you to all who contributed to the success of our wonderful Spring Show - That Radio Show from the 1959!
Both Friday night and Saturday Matinee shows were well attended in our new venue, Souderton Mennonite Church. The atmosphere in the sanctuary was warm, with great accoustics, comfy bench seating and plenty of stage space for our Liberty Belles and North Pennsmen ensembles.
Our wonderful support auxiliary, the Pennettes, did a great job in the front of the house with their usual friedly greetings and homemade breads for everyone to purchase. There were plenty of Door prizes and much to look through about our rich ensembles' history, all on display in the front lobby.
The Liberty Belles will now be preparing for our Area 3 contest in Liverpool, NY, on May 3-4. Please keep following our progress and join us at one of our Monday rehearsals!
