Happy Friday from RNH Show Chorus in Derry, NH!

Y’all… we have been BUSY since contest in April. Like “who-has-time-for-social-media-when-the-risers-are-actively-trying-us” busy.

Between rehearsals, we’ve been diving into some fun contemporary tunes (yes, we’re in our current-era glow-up) and had the absolute honor of performing at a Naturalization Ceremony in Concord, NH—an incredibly inspiring reminder of the power of music, community, and new beginnings.

Let’s talk about these risers. They are tired. We are tired. The relationship is strained. If you would like to help us peacefully transition them into retirement (before they take one of us with them), please consider donating here: https://www.rnhchorus.org/dbpage.php?pg=sponsorship

Now for the real headline:

✨ THE LOW VOICES HAVE ARRIVED ✨

We don’t know who manifested this, but we would like to say THANK YOU. Please welcome three baritones (Candace, Tiffany, and Cat) and one bold, fearless bass (Beverly). Yes. A bass. We are thriving.

Two are getting ready to audition, and the other two are being gently encouraged (read: lovingly hyped at every rehearsal) to make it official.

If you’ve ever thought, “hmm… I could sing a little a ca****la and also make some great friends,” this is your sign. We’re welcoming women (including cis and non-binary singers) who are ready for harmony, laughter, and just a tiny bit of chaos. Contact us at [email protected]

Also—BOOK US. We are learning fun, high-energy music and are ready to bring the vibes to your event, venue, or function. If you need music that makes people smile, clap, and ask how soon they can hear us again—we’ve got you.

Come sing. Support the glow-up. Book the chorus.

And please… save us from the risers.😬

🚨🚨 HOLD PLEASE 🚨🚨

We interrupt our regularly scheduled chaos recap to bring you some VERY IMPORTANT NEWS…

RNH. GOT. THE. INVITE. 😱🎉

That’s right—after surviving The Week™ (you know… the COVID, the ER field trip, the emotional support snacks, the bathroom stall that chose violence…), we have officially been invited to compete at the 2026 Harmony, Inc. International Convention & Contests in Louisville, Kentucky this November!!!

And not as an alternate…
Not as a “maybe if someone sneezes”…

A FULL. PARTICIPANT. 🤯

Now—before we start packing matching outfits and emotionally preparing for hotel lobby rehearsals—the chorus will be taking some time to seriously discuss whether attending is feasible for us.

(Translation: logistics, timing, and yes… finances.)

If you’re a fan of RNH and want to help make this opportunity possible, your support would mean the world to us. 💜 Every bit of encouragement—and yes, donations—helps us get one step closer to that international stage.

We are beyond proud, wildly excited, and still just a tiny bit concerned about what chaos the universe might throw at us!

Stay tuned—because apparently this season is determined to keep things interesting 👀

04/28/2026

Well… if there were an award for “Most Unhinged Week Leading Up to (and Immediately After) Contest,” RNH would have taken gold. No question. 😅

In the span of one week, we had:
3 members test positive for COVID
2 competing members unable to attend
AND a late-night plot twist Friday evening where 2 members (plus their drivers) took an unexpected field trip to the ER until 2:30 AM

At that point, we weren’t sure if we were a chorus or the pilot episode of a medical drama.

Huge shoutout to the real MVPs—those members (and our resident chorus mom, Nancy 💛) who turned the ER into an overnight hangout and STILL showed up ready to sing Saturday morning on basically no sleep. Iconic behavior, honestly.

And just when we thought the chaos had wrapped… oh no. The universe said, “encore.”

During the Saturday night banquet, one of our members lost a fight with a bathroom stall door and took a full-on left hook to the eye. The door won. We’re still emotionally processing.

AND YET… despite illness, absences, ER adventures, and rogue bathroom fixtures, we got on that stage and gave it everything we had.

We are beyond proud to have been named Most Improved Chorus, with a 29-point increase over last year! 🎉

Endless thanks to our incredible coaches, Karen Rourke and Andrew Lujan, and to Karen Sweeters at Harmony on the Sound—your guidance and influence continue to shape who we are.

Most of all, we’re proud of every single member of RNH. The resilience, humor, and heart in this group carried us through one of the most chaotic weeks we’ve ever experienced… and somehow made it unforgettable in the best way.

Now… after all that, we’re excited (and just a little afraid 😄) to see what next season brings. 💕

✨ Curious about the chaos—I mean, magic—of RNH? Come check us out! Women of all singing backgrounds are invited to visit us Thursday nights at 6:45 PM. Email [email protected] for details—we promise a warm welcome (and hopefully fewer injuries 😅)

Who are those masked singers? 🦸‍♀️
Just Rhythm if NH in full superhero mode, ready to hit the Area 2 stage after working super hard on our contest package! We’ve been powering up our harmonies, polishing our timing, and trying to save the world one chord at a time. 💥🎶

We’re hoping to make our amazing coaches, Karen Rourke and Andrew Lujan, proud of us tomorrow — because every good superhero team needs great mentors in the command center!

And as for Kelly and Jen... let’s just say they got a little too close to the Kryptonite during rehearsals, so they’ll be sitting this one out of the flying scene tomorrow. Our newbies, Jazmine, Tanya and Rhonda weren’t ready to join us on this mission, but hopefully the next one. No capes, no takeoff, just strong moral support from the ground! ✨

Sending big love and good luck to all the competing choruses — may your weekend be heroic, fun, and full of fabulous music!

🎵✨ Things are heating up at RNH Show Chorus! ✨🎵

We’ve been polishing, tweaking, and shining our contest package ‘til it sparkles — all while channeling the amazing coaching we soaked up from Karen Rourke and Andrew Lujan. Our chords are tighter, our moves are snappier, and our excitement is off the charts!

We can’t wait to see our Area 2 friends at contest April 23–25 — get ready, because the RNH crew is coming in hot! 🔥

Last week a visitor dropped by, and this week we doubled it — two more guests stopped by (both with those deliciously low notes 👀). Speaking of which...

🎶 Altos, contraltos, low altos, and those rare unicorns who can rumble like a tenor — we’re looking for YOU! If your happy place is somewhere near middle C or below, come join the fun.

We rehearse Thursdays 6:45 pm at the Marion Gerrish Community Center in Derry, NH.
Pop us a note at [email protected] — your future singing family awaits! 💜
