Teresa served for eight years as an assistant director of the Ruston chorus, Piney Hills Harmony Chorus ("PHHC"), under the direction of two different chorus directors, where she also served on the Music Team, Board of Directors.  She has experience in various leadership positions in both choruses, including Section Leader and Choreography Team.

Teresa is currently enrolled in the Sweet Adelines International Director Certification Program, and has continued her barbershop harmony education through the years by attending numerous educational conferences, retreats, summer music camps, and four International Educational Symposiums around the country.  In 2007, Teresa sang on Sweet Adelines International competition stage at Calgary, Canada, with Top of the Rock Chorus (of Little Rock, Arkansas).

Teresa sang Lead in registered quartets, "Take 4 Quartet" and "Four His Glory Quartet."  She served as the "fifth ear" for “Sweet Harmony Quartet,” where Teresa says, "I enjoyed learning the craft of barbershop quartetting and the sweet fellowship of singing sisters."

Teresa is a Speech Pathologist, practicing in the Monroe area since 1985. Teresa says she loves serving her clients.  She also is in Bible Study Fellowship since 2006, and has served in a leadership capacity for the last few years.

Teresa and her husband Ron Howard three grandchildren, Molly, Lyla, and Brennon. Ron has a grown son, David (and his wife Amber), and Teresa has a grown son, Andrew. Teresa and Ron have a "feisty" rescue cat named Max.

Teresa welcomes the challenge of guiding SASC ladies on a fun and rewarding experience in the craft of singing barbershop harmony, and invites any lady who enjoys singing to visit a rehearsal and see how it feels to sing precise four-part harmony in the unique art form of barbershop harmony!

Congratulations to Cherri Barmore for being selected by her peers for the SASC 2017 WALL OF FAME Award!    
Congratulations to Cherri Barmore for being selected by her peers for the SASC 2017 WALL OF FAME Award!    Cherri was honored in Houston at the annual Region 10 Great Gulf Coast Annual Conference and Competition on March 31-April 1, 2017. Cherri has been a Sweet Adeline for over 20 years, and has sung BASS in several choruses around the area:
  • Piney Hills
  • Southern Acappella Sound
  • Twin City Sensations
  • Top of the Rock

and sang on International stage in Houston in 2011, and Hawaii in 2013. She has also sung in a couple of quartets:
  • Taking Notes
  • Shequeee

Cherri has been the front-line director of SASC for almost the entire 11 years the chorus has existed (with the exception of a few months in 2016, due to illness).   Cherri has been the only bass section leader SASC has ever had, and has attended numerous training and educational symposiums throughout the country, while in Region 25 and in Region 10.  She's been a Sweet Adeline for over 20 years.  SASC is privileged to have the expertise and experience of Cherri Barmore, and it is our privilege to bestow this honor upon her.

Monica Taylor Named 2014-2015 Sweet Adeline Extraordinaire!

Monica Taylor
One of the most memorable members of Southern Acappella Sound Chorus, Monica never meets a stranger.  Singers all across the South readily recognize Monica and remember her fun, happy visits at Sweet Adeline events around the South.
Even before the day the chorus was chartered back in 2006, Monica had been a dedicated, loyal, hard-working proponent for the formation of the group.  Her beautiful resonant lead voice brings a richness to the chorus's sound that is undeniable. 

Monica has served as Parliamentarian, Secretary, Sign-poster, Key-carrier, Mailbox Checker, Bird-caller-whistler (wink!), Costume Committee, Housing Committee, Attendance-checker, and too many other capacities to even remember.  Without Monica, this chorus would not be the same. 
It is with honor that we announce the choice for this year's recipient of this disctinction. 

We invite YOU to
hare your photos, memories and funny stories of your encounters with Monica either here on our blog, or on our Facebook page.
Monica's enthusiasm for Sweet Adelines can not be contained and is contagious. She is always willing to learn something new. She is dependable, shows up for rehearsal and excels at doing warmups and being our secretary. Her attitude is irreplaceable, she walks in a room and you KNOW she is there. She is just Monica and we love her. Candice

Our chorus would like to THANK all the amazing people who have worked with us through the years, to help us learn the art of barbershop harmony, and performing for the public. 

WITHOUT YOUR coaching, guidance, and education, we could not have achieved the award of the first ever Region 10 Audience Choice Award in the Open Division category.

THANK YOU ESPECIALLY TO SWEET ADELINES INTERNATIONAL FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO SHARE OUR PASSION ...
