Every year brings its own unique challenges—and every year, Post Road Chorus steps up to meet them. Sometimes we meet expectations; often, we exceed them. This year, despite facing more-than-typical hurdles, I can say without hesitation that what we accomplished together was nothing short of phenomenal.
We set ambitious goals and then got to work. This year marked the first time we organized and held a full chorus immersive learning and connection weekend, giving us the opportunity to grow musically while strengthening the bonds that make us who we are. We welcomed more new members into our chorus family, expanded our repertoire by five new songs, and shared our music through 20 performances across our community – nine of which were held in the two weeks before Christmas!
We also reached important musical milestones—participating in the Sweet Adelines Regional Convention at Symphony Hall in Springfield, sponsoring professional voice coaching for every member, and taking part in regional educational weekends that pushed us to grow individually and collectively. Through it all, we kept our eyes on the music “ball,” striving for excellence and progress with every rehearsal and performance.
But as proud as I am of these accomplishments, the truth is that Post Road Chorus is about far more than hitting the right notes.
Our real achievement—our secret sauce—is each other.
Post Road Chorus is made up of women who genuinely care for one another. Women who generously share their talents for the good of the chorus. Women who step up to help—often without being asked—who guide and encourage one another, and who create a positive, uplifting environment where everyone belongs. All of this happens while members balance careers, families, personal responsibilities, and the everyday demands of life, showing up week after week as the strong, resilient women who define this chorus.
Every year, we juggle sheet music, learning tracks, performance details, responsibilities, refreshments—our own version of packages, boxes, and bags. And even with this year’s especially full load, we came together and made it all happen. But the real success wasn’t just in checking every box or finishing every task. It was in the feeling that followed—in the shared accomplishment, the joy, and the connection that grew along the way. That’s why the realization at the end of The Grinch feels especially fitting this year. As Dr. Seuss wrote:
“It came without ribbons, it came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags.”
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. “Maybe Christmas, perhaps, doesn’t come from a store.”
“Maybe Christmas”, he thought, “means a little bit more.”
So, with hearts grown three times their size and overflowing with gratitude for the extraordinary women of Post Road Chorus — with a loving nod to the great Dr. Seuss—we turn the page to 2026.
