What we’re about
Rolling Hills Chorus is an all-women’s chorus founded in 1980. Based in Pasco, Washington, the chorus brings traditional a cappella barbershop harmony to our repertoire of American pop songs. Barbershop harmony is a uniquely homegrown American vocal sound produced by four voice parts, with harmony parts both above and below the melody. Any woman can find a voice part that fits her vocal range, from high lyric sopranos to those who sing in men’s tenor range. The warm sound is combined with energetic original choreography.
Chorus members range in age and occupation and come from all over Eastern Washington, from Selah to Walla Walla. We rehearse each Thursday evening at the Pasco City Hall Activity Center. All women are welcome to join, regardless of vocal or musical ability.
Rolling Hills Chorus performs throughout the Tri-Cities and in Prosser at community events, private parties, sporting events, and our fall show. Each spring, we compete in the Sweet Adelines International North by Northwest regional competition. Highly competitive, we have earned first place in our division numerous times and recently placed fourth in the overall region.
Getting the sound and choreography just right is important to us, but the friendships we form on the risers are just as special. Sweet Adelines as an organization is focused on lifelong learning to develop both music and leadership skills.
