Murrumbidgee Magic is an award winning, dynamic female singing group whose members meet regularly to practise, perform, socialise in an enjoyable atmosphere.. Started in 1992, we currently have about 35 singers of all ages, all walks of life and from all parts of the Wagga Wagga area and beyond.
Our repertoire spans a wide and varied range, from traditional "barbershop style" arrangements to contempory songs in 3 or 4 part harmony. Having a number of Australian arrangers who are part of sweet Adelines means we have Australian songs sung in 4 part harmony such as "Shelter", "Love is in the Air", "I Still CAll Australia Home", "I Am Australian."
.
Throughout the year we get coaching from visiting educators to develop our singing and performance skills. Members also have the opportunity to attend workshops to learn mre about vocal pedagogy, enhancing visual communication, administration of a chorus and membership strategies.
Each year Region 34 holds a competition open to all Sweet Adeline choruses and quartets in Australia. Competitions have taken place in Gold Coast, Brisbane, Hobart, Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, Mandura and Perth. Competitions are a special time for quartets and choruses to come together to sing for each other and receive constructive feedback from a panel of judges.
The winners of the regional competition in both quartet and chorus categories are invited to travel to International Competition.
