Next Faultline Chorus Alumnae Quarterly Morning tea / Brunch
Saturday 26 July 2025, 10 – 12amBoulcott 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 😊).
Faultline are supporters of the NZ Young Singers in Harmony Trust (YSIH NZ). See below for their latest:
2025 NZ Young Singers in Harmony Trust (YSIH) Convention, Lower Hutt Town Hall, Wednesday 17 and Thursday 18 September 2025 – Volunteers needed (Door, Raffle/Donations, Traffic Pattern for Day 1 Quartet Contest (11am – 4.30pm), Day 2 Chorus Contest (similar time) and Parade of Champions concert Day 2 evening 6.00pm – 9.30pm
We’re now only 12 weeks away from the national 2025 YSIH Convention! All the regional contests in Wellington and Waikato have been held, with Auckland on 25 June 2025. We have a strong number of regional competitors who have met the entry criteria, which is exciting! Brenda Leasi from Pacific Connection is the 2025 YSIH Convention Coordinator.
We’d be grateful for any Faultliners past or present who can offer to assist as volunteers this year, as most BHNZ chorus members will be at the BHNZ Convention in Christchurch or taking a break after attending the BHS International in Denver, Colorado in July.
Two Faultline Alumnae have kindly offered to assist us so far on the 2025 YSIH Convention registration or raffle desk – Jane Riley and Judy Wilton! Shelley Bascand from Faultline Chorus is kindly helping us with Traffic Pattern run sheets. 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. If you missed out helping in 2024, don’t miss out supporting some of YSIH’s top quartet and chorus rangatahi barbershoppers this year! Contact Selena if you are interested. All volunteers will receive an online pre-Convention briefing in 2025, including a health and safety induction.
Sponsorship opportunities
If you know of any businesses, groups or individuals that might be open to provide sponsorship, email Selena for more details. 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 Faultliners past and present, so that we can create a great experience for our rangatahi barbershoppers from around Aotearoa in 2025!
