The chorus is in the final stages of preparing an exhibition performance about the experience in the US – including the webcast breakdown.
‘‘Thousands of our followers in Australia and around the world tuned in to watch us, only for the webcast to break down – we think this is great subject matter for a laugh, so our performance will be about that,’’ said Lea Baker, founder and musical director.
Endeavour Harmony made history in October 2015 when it became the first Australian chorus to make the Top 10 in the world at the Sweet Adelines International competition in Las Vegas.
Endeavour’s performance in the finals brought the audience of 7000 to a standing ovation in a moving package of songs with a uniquely Australian theme.
The performance concluded with a heartfelt six part a cappella rendition of My Island Home, the Neil Murray song made famous by Christine Anu.
The chorus is holding an open dress rehearsal for the contest performance this Saturday, May 7, at 4pm in Keller Hall, 389 Port Hacking Road South, Caringbah.
