       So Danca got a chance to sponsor and be present at this years " Sweet Adelines" competition. This competition is one of the biggest most world renown quartet and choir competition, and boy did we have fun there. It was a pleasure to meet so many of the Adelines and to also get a chance to hear them sing, this memory will truly be one I will cherish. So Danca would like to extend our congratulations to Martini (Quartet) and Melodeers (Choir) who worked very hard and were rewarded for their hard-work and showmanship by getting first place, Congratulations!

Voila! Check them out on FACEBOOK!!

        All the groups within this competition are special to us, but there is one group that we could not help but sponsor individually, Voila! is a Quartet group Consisted of Nancy Bourell, Caroline Rocco, Bebe Caldwell, and Hilda Mancillas. Here's a quick Bio found within their Facebook page:

    "We are an a capella quartet hailing from San Antonio, Austin, and the DFW metroplex. For performance information, please contact nbourell@austin.rr.com. We hail from Alamo Metro Chorus, Austin Harmony Chorus, and Rich-Tone Chorus (Region 25). We look forward to singing for you soon!"

 

         Here is a quick segment of a medley they wrote for So Danca! We got a chance to listen to them sing this within our booth, and boy did they sound amazing! It was truly amazing to be part of a show that is filled with the most fun loving ladies all around the world. So Danca is proud to be part of this community and looks forward to all future competitions, surely they will continue to be amazing.

Voila! Quartet and Me
