| Our
Director is Susan Kegley
 Susan became Pacific Sound's front line
director in January, 2007 and
brings a wealth of experience and expertise in Sweet Adelines. Susan began singing barbershop in 1980
with the Sound Cities Chapter in Everett, WA, and since has sung with
numerous
choruses and quartets. A dual member of the 2001 International Chorus
Champions San Diego Chorus in Region 21,
Susan has once again returned home to the Evergreen State.
Susan has competed as a quartet member in 15 regional and 5
internationals contests, singing all 4 voice parts (not at once, of
course!)...not to mention the
crown she earned as a Queen of Harmony with the 2001 International
Championship Quartet, A Cappella
Gold. She currently sings bass with
Livewire, the current second
place quartet for Region 13. She has been a director, an interim director, an assistant
director and on the music education staff and many other committees during her Sweet
Adelines career. In addition, Susan is an Approved Candidate Judge in
the Music Category, as well as a budding arranger and member of the DCP
program. Whew!
Makes you tired just to read about it!
In Susan's other
life, she is a registered nurse and is married to a very supportive
husband, Jack.
Pacific Sound is thrilled to
have Susan as our front line director! We know the two of us will
be making beautiful music together for years to come.
Our Team Leader is Susan Soderberg
 Susan
joined Sweet Adelines five years ago with Pacific Sound in Bellevue, WA,
and has competed in three Regional and International contests. Pacific
Sound put her to work immediately in ticket sales and show committee,
then elected her marketing manager. That successful stint led to
election as Team Manager in May 2005.
In 2006 Susan stepped in to complete
an unexpired term as Team
Coordinator for Sweet Adelines' Region 13. Susan now begins a two-year
International appointment as Communications/Technology Coordinator. She
spearheaded webcasting of Region 13's 2007 contest, RMT meetings by
videoconference and the popular Regional Annual Membership Meeting's
photo presentation of yearly chorus and quartet activities.
Susan is also a Director of the
Barbershop Summit, a
nonprofit corporation formed by the northwest's
Regions 13,
24 and
26
and the Barbershop Harmony Society's Evergreen District. The Summit's
mission is to build harmony through collaborative sharing of knowledge,
skills and resources to supplement the education, marketing and music
programs and activities of the four participating entities.
In her "real" job, Susan
is
an executive assistant for the IT
Department of Symetra Financial in Bellevue. Two
sons and their families, including four beloved grandchildren,
keep Susan busy in her spare (?) time. Singing with Sweet Adelines
honors Susan's grandfather, "Pa" Creel, a 40-year barbershopper who sang
tenor in the '60s with An-O-Chords.
