| Our
Director is Susan Kegley
 Susan became Pacific Sound's front line
director in January, 2007 and
brings a wealth of experience and expertise in Sweet Adelines. Susan began singing barbershop in 1980
with the Sound Cities Chapter in Everett, WA, and since has sung with
numerous
choruses and quartets. A dual member of the 2001 International Chorus
Champions San Diego Chorus in Region 21,
Susan has once again returned home to the Evergreen State.
Susan has competed as a quartet member in 15 regional and 5
internationals contests, singing all 4 voice parts (not at once, of
course!)...not to mention the
crown she earned as a Queen of Harmony with the 2001 International
Championship Quartet, A Cappella
Gold. She currently sings bass with
Livewire, the current Region 13
Championship Quartet. She has been a director, an interim director, an assistant
director and on the music education staff and many other committees during her Sweet
Adelines career. In addition, Susan is an Approved Candidate Judge in
the Music Category, as well as a budding arranger and member of the DCP
program. Whew!
Makes you tired just to read about it!
In Susan's other
life, she is a registered nurse and is married to a very supportive
husband, Jack.
Pacific Sound is thrilled to
have Susan as our front line director! We know the two of us will
be making beautiful music together for years to come.
