PSC Leadership Team

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 since, including the 2001 International Chorus Champions San Diego Chorus. She also just happens to be one of Pacific Sound's founding members!

Susan has competed as a quartet member in nearly 20 regional and 7 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 Yahtzee!, a newly formed quartet with two international medalists. She has been a director, an interim director, an assistant director on the music education staff, and numerous 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 Director Certification 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 we will be making beautiful music together for years to come.

Our Team Leader is Pam Rivard

Pam is one of SAI's many late bloomers. She walked through doors of Pacific Sound Chorus in 2006 during a hiatus from Columbia Choir's Con Brio, and has been rolling in overtones ever since! Six months after joining, Pam competed with PSC Internationally in Vegas; three months later she was invited to join quartet Spare Parts, Too! and she's currently baritone in AirWave, Region 13's 2011 3rd place quartet!

Pam works in a variety of capacities with PSC's current performance culture; as one of many show chairs, on both the musical learning and resource teams, as section leader, and as chorus archivist. She's honed team building skills chairing committees and docenting as a PTA mom, and thorough her years as a service provider listening, mentoring, and providing feedback to countless individuals on a weekly basis. Formerly an aerobic dance instructor, her leadership abilities have been enhanced directing and monitoring large groups of people. Two grown daughters and a teenage son give her many opportunities to promote personal and professional growth, and appreciate the heart's desire of the individual.

A Seattleite married to a Canadian, Pam's extended family is sprinkled throughout Washington, Pennsylvania, Colorado, California, British Columbia and Alberta. Her hobbies include square and round dancing, and participating in the Pacific Northwest Square Dance Festival as chief scorekeeper with her most supportive husband, Marcel. Pam was honored to have been asked to steer PSC's Management Team and is looking forward to another year guiding and acknowledging the abilities and follow-through of all who come to sing with us.
