It truly was an amazing night, integrating the 'Festival of Kali' into our 2020 Christmas party ... starting with physical warm ups to Kali’s favourite song and then line dancing to another; Kali leading a sand ceremony to 'let go of 2020'; chorus members getting very excited in pass the parcel and musical chairs ... whilst half the chorus stopped and started singing; Kali being Santa's Elf and delivering 'pay it forward' gifts from members to members; our traditional Christmas ornament exchange; presenting Kali with a Ngulliboo(All Of Us) shawl and a tribute of words of gratitude from chorus members presented with photos of Kali throughout the year, which will be printed as a book for her. Kali has been the 'glue' that has kept us together in 2020 ... and so much more!

- 7th Birthday Celebrations
-
Date Posted: Sun, 6 Dec 2020
On this very special Tuesday night, we had the joy of celebrating seven whole years since Indian Blue officially chartered! The night came with lots of laughs, singing, quizzes, storytelling, drinks, and nibbles. Our 'blue-themed' speed quiz was great fun and won by the BASSES who are all incredibly pleased with their efforts. We also had the privilege of beginning the selection process of a local community tree for the Blue Tree Project - a project that helps to break down the stigma of mental health. All members voted for their favourite tree, and helped paint a mini version of our very own Blue Tree. Our seventh birthday also marked the start of a new chorus candle - a symbol of the light and love in our chorus. We lit the new flame with the old, and can't wait to burn our very special new candle hopefully for another seven years!

Date Posted: Tue, 1 Sep 2020
What a night at rehearsal ... 78% of the chorus joined us, with 92% 'in the Room' and 8% 'on Zoom'!
Our three-month scarf project came to an end on 1st Sep celebrating IBC’s commitment to our own community. Whilst we were all far apart members knitted their own scarf in IBC chorus colours so that when we could gather again we could wear them and celebrate as one! Thanks to Barb Turner, our Membership Coordinator, for laying the seed!
'Blue Moon Dreaming” honoured the 8th anniversary of the Blue Moon that Kali saw from her window - from which IBC was born. WOW - we looked 'outside' the dot (thanks Jan Carley) and dreamt: "We cannot have the forward momentum that we would wish, but we can move sideways and become richer for the experience."
We, as a community, are grateful we can gather together face to face and by Zoom even though we are still limited in our performances ... but were thrilled to announce we now have two performance opportunities in our City of Joondalup in November & December!
And there was MORE!! 'Moving Parts' Quartet auditioned (and PASSED!); Jos was awarded 'Star of the Month'; Carolyn & Diane were awarded their five year pins ... and we shared the evening with our Associates - Juliana, Grainne and Janet (on Zoom)!

It was a busy night!

Every chorus in Region 34 put their own stamp on this Glenda Lloyd four-part a cappella arrangement of Helen Reddy's and Ray Burton's iconic anthem.
We are so proud of this video that tells our Sweet Adelines Australia story better than words ever could.

December signifies a time of festive songs, fond memories of yester-year and a time of coming together at Indian Blue Chorus (IBC) to share our festive cheer with our local community - 'The Most Wonderful Time of the Year ' indeed!
Since IBC chartered back in 2013, the community Sing Out Day has been a day when members give back to the community by visiting local cafes, lifestyle villages, shopping centres, retirement and nursing homes in and around the City of Joondalup. Each year we visit new and old venues to bring the sounds of our four part harmony and to set the festive mood for December.
Our festive spirit really starts in a car park at 9.00am in Mullaloo as we climb on board the City of Joondaulp coaches ready for a 9.30am departure. This year we returned to our home Burns Beach and to surprise many of the patrons of the local cafe, we kept young and old entertained with our carols
At 4.30pm we finished our Community Sing out day and thanked our amazing volunteer bus drivers and their wives who give up an entire day to enable us to visit and sing at so many locations. Without you, and the support from the City of Joondalup, we would not be able to lift the spirits of many of our audience members - this is simply priceless - thank you!

Most recently Indian Blue Chorus set off to Joondalup Health Campus (JHC) to spend the morning singing to patients, families, nurses, doctors, hospital staff and even a few children.
Members spilt up into two groups to ensure we were able to reach as many wards as possible before joining together back in Aged Care and the Main Foyer where passers by, who once hurried past suddenly stopped, smiled and stayed present in the moment, some cried with joy at the memories of times gone by, others talked of places of birth and some simply cried out after Silent Night - "You don't know how happy you have made me! thank you!'
Now that beats dashing around the shops on a Saturday morning!
- Indian Blue Chorus Turns 6 Years Old!

Date Posted: Wed, 9 Oct 2019
Hard to believe that Indian Blue Chorus turned 6 years old this week! We have so much to celebrate this year from a travelling education duo, who were on the other side of the world to a Mardis Gras Birthday themed party with our Charity of Choice this year, WA's Care Bags - Because Kids In Care Matter.
Two very important founding chorus members, Director Kali Carmia and Bass Section Leader Helen Bolton have not been with us all this year because they went missing for 17 weeks and luckily for us came back in time for our 6th Birthday!
Kali and Helen been on a musical education journey with Lions Gate Chorus based all the way over in Canada. The trip was in order to learn new skills and much more to bring back to Indian Blue Chorus as well as to compete on the Sweet Adeline International Stage for 2019 New Orleans International Competition. So they had a packed education schedule and they took on every challenge that was laid out to them.Not only did Kali and Helen return back just in time for our 6th Birthday (phew!) they brought back the most amazing present for us all. They only went and placed second in the world in the international competition and brought back a medal each! How fantastic is that when you're turning 6 years old!
In true Indian Blue Chorus fashion it was a night of celebration, singing, laughter, friendship, good food and plenty of Mardi Gras fancy dress! Happy Birthday Indian Blue members!

IBC have just concluded a wintery festive season, celebrating by singing our Christmas repertoire for all of July. The chorus, along with our special guest carol singers, performed for St Ives retirement village’s Christmas in July event, this year with a new twist. We were joined by a group of ukelele-players, adding new lyrics to some old favourites. “Summer Wonderland” and “Aussie Jingle Bells” were a hit with the residents. The month culminated in a Christmas in July party for IBC and our carol singers, where the festivities continued. We can’t wait to do it all again at ‘real’ Christmas time!

- Everyone Can Sing Singing Course
-
Date Posted: Sun, 26 May 2019
In February 2019, Indian Blue Chorus opened its doors to 25 women who wanted to have a go at singing. Many of these women hadn’t sung in a chorus since being at school. Some proudly sang in the car where they felt no one could hear them while they enjoyed the freedom of singing.
The “Everyone Can Sing” course ran over 6 consecutive weeks. Each week the participants learnt about the fundamentals of great singing and even some music theory to help understand the arrangements they were learning.
Our women learnt three new songs, performing them in their graduation concert to family and friends and showcasing their newly learnt skills (see picture left). That's some achievement in a relatively short space of time!
Not long after the course, some of our ‘Graduates’ performed with Indian Blue Chorus at Fremantle’s Choralfest (see picture right) and Ocean Reef RSL’s ANZAC Dawn service.
A large number of women who took part of the “Everyone Can Sing” course decided they really enjoyed singing with Indian Blue, making friends and more, so they decided to audition and become chorus members.
Since the completion of the course, Indian Blue Chorus has welcomed 9 new members from the ‘Graduates’ - 35% of the chorus participants are now members! These women clearly found a love and passion for singing. Our chorus has embraced these new members with support and encouragement and look forward to journeying together!

How quickly our year came to an end and what a perfect way to do so with a number of performances throughout the City of Joondalup. December was packed full of festive harmonies with our members getting out and about and headlining at a variety community carol events in and around the City of Joondalup and the City of Wanneroo.
Chorus members committed to a whole day of singing at various spots across the Cities of Joondalup and Wanneroo as part of our annual Community Sing Out Day. This year members visited some new and familiar venues which included Burns Beach Cafe for the mid-morning patrons before heading over to Joondalup Health Campus for the mid-afternoon singing. Members ending the day our regular final destination, St Ives in Mullaloo.
The chorus went on to sing at Burns Beach's Carols by Floodlight. This was the very first community carols the Burns Beach Resident Association (BBRA) have held. The final festive performance saw the chorus returning to sing at Sorrento Quay's Carols on the Boardwalk. In between all the community-based performances a small group of singers headed over to 6PR for our fourth and final show of the year. We really have been getting out and about preforming – something many of our members really like to get involved in – and bringing some happiness in harmony to the wider community.
Indian Blue Chorus are excited for many new opportunities with the start of a New Year. The first one of course is holding a 6 week Everyone Can Sing Course which is open to our communities far and wide. This is an opportunity to give yourself the gift of voice, harmony, friendships and much more whilst learning the skills week on week. This is sure to keep us all singing during the months of February and March!

Indian Blue Chorus turns 5 years old and what better way to celebrate by donating gifts of school stationary packs to Perth Mums’ School Packs Project!
Over the last 5 years Indian Blue Chorus has selected a charity of choice through its members. Previous birthday recipients have included Pat Giles Centre and Grandparents Raising Grandchildren WA. As Indian Blue Chorus approached its 5th birthday, we wanted to focus on an organisation to encompass the needs of all school aged children. So, we contacted Fiona, from the School Packs Project, via social media to get more information.
On Tuesday 4 September, chorus members celebrated, dressed according to their ‘longevity’ in the worldwide, Sweet Adelines International organisation – some newer members donned nappies whilst there were several members who dressed as 20-30-year-olds! Indian Blue Chorus welcomed Fiona and Pam, Perth Mums who brought this project to life. The Perth Mums behind the School Packs Project are aspiring to put together 500 stationary packs for the hundreds of children in WA family refuges escaping domestic violence. Indian Blue Chorus’ 5th birthday donations kick-started the 2018 campaign, with over 10% of competed School Packs for both primary and secondary school children being gifted!
To get involved in supporting the School Packs Project members of the community can donate new stationary items during September at participating community libraries in Duncraig, Joondalup, Whitfords and Woodvale. Further details can be found on the project’s Facebook page @schoolpacksproject.

Date Posted: Tue, 19 Jun 2018
Indian Blue is thrilled to announce that our director, Kali Caramia will be joined by a new Co-Director in July! We are delighted to welcome Bec Hewitt to our team and look forward to another new chapter in our fabulous journey

.
Bec is a member of the Sweet Adeline's Regional Education Faculty and the Barbershop Harmony Australia Regional Education Faculty. She is also the General Education Coordinator on the Region 34 Regional Resource Team.
In her ‘life outside of Barbershop’ she runs her own business, Just Sing! Teaching voice and performance to singers of all ages and all styles.
Bec loves working with singers and groups and helping them to find their inner voice and realise their potential.
Kali Caramia has been a member of Sweet Adelines International for over 22 years. She is a graduate of the Perth Modern Music School and a student of a number of instruments over the years, (piano, clarinet, double bass and now cello). Kali ‘found’ barbershop in 1996 and went on to complete her Directors’ Certification in 2001; has won three regional quartet championships (and two silvers) with BlackJaQ quartet, sang bass and served as section leader in Perth Harmony Chorus from 2002 – 2013 earning 5 regional gold medals and one silver and has represented Australia internationally at a chorus and/or quartet level on five occasions.

Kali continues to gain knowledge by attending as many educational events as she can at both men’s and women’s regional and international events.
The next step in Kali’s journey with barbershop is joining the amazing Lions Gate Chorus in Vancouver, Canada. In September of this year she will be living in Vancouver and singing with Lions Gate under the direction of Master Director Sandy Marron and next year will live in Canada for 5 months and compete with them at the International convention in New Orleans in September 2019. The education and knowledge she will gain during this time will be a fabulous injection into Indian Blue’s knowledge base.
Indian Blue Chorus is embarking on a new journey, one of harmony, education and excitement over the months to come with this fantastic duo leading the Chorus forward.
