- Shore Notes retreat weekend held in Beaufort
-
Date Posted: Tue, Mar 28 2023
Members of the Hilton Head Shore Notes attended a weekend retreat in Beaufort, SC, on March 24 - 26, where they spent many hours on the risers rehearsing the two songs that they will perform at the Region 9 Competition in Daytona Beach, later in the Spring. They were coached by Kim Higdon, director of Bridges of Harmony Chorus in Jacksonville, FL, and lead by Iris Christ, director of the Shore Notes. In addition to honing their skills on the competition songs, they also enjoyed dinner together at one of Beaufort's many downtown restaurants, and on Saturday evening, divided up into "family teams" and competed with each other in a hilarious game of Family Feud, complete with family talent and lots of laughter!
