Why sing? Because it is like breathing, it is
like laughing, it is living out loud....
Lead - Vicki Dwyer
Vicki has always loved to sing, in fact if it’s anything to do with music
– Vicki has wanted to try it… usually with an honors diploma to go with it! Not
one to do anything by halves, Vicki grew up in a household surrounded by any
instrument that she could beg, borrow or steal – which is somewhat ironic since
the instrument she loves the most is the one she was born with. Those who know
Vicki well might go as far as to say she is “focused”, some might say obsessive,
but then Vicki would make a point of finding out exactly who those people might
be! Vicki is married to
James and together they have two
children, Kaitlyn and Liam. Vicki is a singing teacher, quartet coach and director of two Choruses
– Circular Keys Chorus in Sydney’s North West and
Sydney Harmony men’s chorus in
North Sydney.
Baritone - Amanda
Andrews
Amanda has always been a very competitive person, particularly in sports,
so to be able to do what she loves – that is to sing and compete, then Sweet
Adelines suits her down to the ground. Singing in a quartet gives even more
opportunities to rehearse and improve her singing skills. Not only does Amanda
rehearse for chorus and quartet, but she is also an active member at the local
rowing club where she helps coaching & organising junior rowing, taxis her 4
children (who also row) around to various regatta and training venues and
assists the club captain ( who happens to be her husband). Singing in Accolade
has been a wonderful experience for Amanda. She is able to sing with 3 other
women who all have the same goals and love of singing. As well as many hard
hours of practice and coaching, there is much laughter and fun.
Tenor - Wendy Scandurra
Wendy's superb lyric soprano voice has been instrumental in her musical
career that has spanned her life, firstly in choirs, in bands and as a soloist.
Wendy is a hard-working single mum to her two children.
Bass - Glenda Lloyd
Glenda was a founding member of Brindabella Chorus in 1990, and has been
directing since 1992. She has been a member of the
Region
34 Education Faculty since 1999 and enjoys travelling around Australia
visiting other choruses and quartets. Originally singing the highest voice
part, Glenda has sung in a number of different quartets and tried every voice
part over the years, but has finally settled on bass as her true calling.
