Next Faultline Chorus Alumnae Quarterly Morning tea / Brunch
Saturday 26 July 2025, 10 – 12am
Boulcott Farm Café
Nine of us got together on Saturday 17 May 2025 with a mixture of current members and alumnae. It was great to catch up on everyone’s news, share our recent contest experience and get insights in our alumnae’s past experiences too!
If any current Chorus members also wish to attend this morning tea/brunch, they are welcome. Just email Selena (not text, FB or Messenger) to let you know whether you’d like to come by COB Wednesday 24 July 2025 and she’ll add you to the invite (if she hasn’t already 😊).

2025 YSIH Convention volunteers update
Two Faultline Alumnae are kindly going to assist us on the 2025 YSIH Convention registration desk – Jane Riley and Judy Wilton! Thank you to these two awesome wāhine who will be great in these roles, to support Erin Donohue, our YSIH Wellington regional representative and On the Ground Coordinator at Convention. Shelley Bascand from Faultline Chorus is kindly helping us as Traffic Pattern Lead on Day 2. If you missed out helping in 2024, don’t miss out supporting some of YSIH’s top quartet and chorus barbershoppers this year! Contact Brenda Leasi, 2025 YSIH Convention Coordinator or me if you are interested. All volunteers will receive an online pre-Convention briefing in 2025, including a health and safety induction.

We will be putting up sponsorship details on 2 x 75” screens above the risers throughout the Convention and giving sponsors a free double pass to the evening Parade of Champions concert the evening of 18 September 2025.
Donations, bequests
If you know of any businesses, groups or individuals that might be open to provide a donation to assist with the 2025 YSIH Convention costs and help the NZ YSIH Trust create a sustainable future, contact Selena Bernath, NZ YSIH Trust Administrator / Trustee Officers for more details.
The Trust appreciates the support of Faultline Chorus members and alumnae, so that we can create a great experience for our rangatahi barbershoppers from around Aotearoa in 2025!

WOW 2025 Sunday 5 October early afternoon show (Time TBC) – Expressions of Interest for Tickets and Numbers needed by COB Saturday 5 April at the latest for presale tickets
The newly designed WOW stage created an even more amazing experience in 2024! Come and join us for a Dockside Café and Bar pre-show brunch and WOW show this year, so you can experience it for yourself. We had 15 Chorus members, alumnae and friends in 2023 and an intimate Chorus family of 4 in 2024. It’s become an annual Chorus and friends event not to be missed!
Please email Selena (not FB, text or Messenger) with names, how many tickets you would like and whether you want her to book a Dockside brunch seat. This is so she can (hopefully) book good seats together when the presale tickets go on sale from 10am on Sunday 6 April and book the Dockside well in advance to get brunch seats. She will pay in advance via Mastercard and advise of per person cost (approx. $115pp for WOW tickets), which won’t be due to be paid until 11 May 2025. You’ll be sent the Dockside pre-show brunch menu in due course. If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to ask Selena.
