Who we are
It began at a wedding reception in 2023, sitting at a table full of super talented friends. I was watching other talented people on the dance floor. “We have SO MUCH talent in Slidell!”, I mentioned. Would it be possible to get everyone together for some fun music?
It was the Post-Covid era when many choirs were shuttered, and I missed the joy of singing in a big choir. The physical release of vocalizing, the flood of emotions at the end of a beautiful song… and being part of that big, full sound!
I wanted to get all my talented friends together to sing with me. I didn’t want to direct, because I’m a kids choir/theatre director. I don’t typically work with adults (know your limits)! Besides, putting together an entire concert by myself would add major stress, and who needs more stress?!! Everyone is always busy too, so coordinating rehearsals and getting commitments - EEK!
After many conversations, ideas and brainstorming I decided to start a group that would coordinate “one day choir” events. This would allow singers and directors to participate when available, and my talented friends would share the load behind the scenes. Minimum commitment, lots of talent, and super accessible for everyone. SlidellSINGS! was born!
My desire is to offer multiple “one day” performances each year, partnering with local events to capitalize on what has already been established in our community. We will give back as we are able, supporting non-profits and other organizations. This is about building community through song, creating joy and sharing our gifts.
