Gem City Chorus

The Gem City Chorus, a chapter of Sweet Adelines International, was formed in 1970 as a result of a merger of two local chapters. Since the beginning, the Gem City Chorus has been dedicated to being the best it can be. Gem City has qualified for international competition eleven times since 1972 and has won five gold (first place), four silver (second place) and one fourth place medals - a feat achieved by no other Sweet Adeline chorus!

Some of our favorites are Blues In The Night, Swing Down Chariot, Get Happy, My Man, If I Were a Rich Man, Second Hand Man, and Try A Little Kindness. It¹s hard to pick, because the quality and feeling of all the songs is so consistently high. Great stuff from a hard-working, talented group!

From The Heart

This Is The Moment Showtime Sentimental Journey Runnin' Wild End Of The Road Billy-A-Dick As Time Goes By How's Every Little Thing In Dixie God Bless America Battle Hymn Of The Republic Blow, Gabriel, Blow The Joint Is Jumpin' Heartaches Alabama Jubilee Bound Medley That's What God Made Mothers For One Of Those Songs Mississippi Medley Wild Beneath My Wings It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing Medley

Gem City won the Sweet Adelines Internationals in the Chorus Category an unprecedented five times! How did they do it? Great material, enthusiastically performed and dynamically arranged! Makes it sound simple, doesn't it? Directed by Jean Barford, this Dayton Ohio aggregate's sound is as unified as can be, its articulation crisp, timing right on the money. "As Time Goes By" is swung a little faster than average, "How's Every Little Thing In Dixie" exaggerates the phrasing effectively, hurrying through the tune like the March Hare. Other great songs: "Mississippi Medley," "The Joint Is Jumpin'," and "It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing Medley."
