Chorale Barbershop / Barbershop Chorus

 Le samedi 22 novembre 2025 dernier, la Chorale a cappella Rive-Sud (affectueusement appelé les South Shore Saints) a fêté son 65ᵉ anniversaire lors de son spectacle annuel – "Un voyage à travers le temps" – l’un des plus grands succès de son histoire récente.   Plusieurs éléments ont sans doute contribué à ce succès :   1) Le quatuor Roulette a été invité à titre de quatuor d’honneur, et ceci, bien avant d’être couronné Harmony Queens de l'association Harmony Inc en 2024.   Roulette - 2024 Harmony Inc. Champions 2) La chorale a accueilli, pour la première fois au Québec, le camp Harmony eXplosion parrainé par le Northeastern District (NED) de la Barbershop Harmony Society (BHS), à l’École internationale Saint‑Lambert sur le Sud‑rivage.    Harmony eXplosion Camp: école secondaire internationale Saint-Lambert 3) Un mouvement de jujitsu bien pensé a transformé les tensions US‑Canada en une occasion de prendre du recul aux compétitions NED et de...

Most notably, the chorus coordinated the first ever Harmony eXplosion Camp this spring, a BHS-initiative to support young singers in the Northeast District, for the first time ever in Quebec (at Saint-Lambert High School), and will be doing so again nex...

On Saturday, November 23, 2024, The South Shore Saints Barbershop Chorus celebrated a memorable annual show, “ Barbershop Is Love .” This year, the chorus took the unusual step of opting out of the Fall District Contest and Convention t o focus on the show . Using the extra time gained, our director Alan Briand and assistant director Steve Wheaton regularly helped us hone our songs, while Morgan Hayes LaCroix coached us on several occasions to improve our song interpretation. The change of schedule apparently led to a number of positive outcomes at showtime. Firstly, the extra preparation seemingly allowed us to focus while staying relaxed. I noticed that we remained calm even when we were backstage, which allowed us to fully enjoy the performance of our guest quartet  SKARmony . (This was not the case from my memory of previous shows .) I for one will not soon forget listening to Both Sides Of The Fence involving Alan Briand and SKARmony ! Secondly , the extra w...
