Why Helen is Vocal Dimension’s Unsung Champion
Vocal Dimension Chorus told us:
We would like to nominate Helen Blount for her contribution to the success of our chorus having been a very essential part of our Management Team and as an active chorus member.
Helen joined VDC as a tenor in 2017, inspired by our appearance in BBC1’s Pitch Battle and she soon graduated to the front row as a dancer. She took the position of Events Coordinator on the VDC Management Team and navigated uncharted waters to arrange numerous sing-outs plus hotel, meals, and rehearsal rooms at regional convention and International. Showcasing exceptional organizational and communication skills during the post-Covid period, she ensured that VDC was well and truly out there from the moment we were allowed to be. Her dedication to the role also contributed to us being able to fundraise over £15k toward members’ International trip expenses. Furthermore, Helen became a very well-respected member of the team and was an absolute pleasure to work with, often providing support to our director personally when the going got tough! Helen stepped outside of her comfort zone to audition for the lead role of Cherry Bakewell in our latest International set The Great British Baking Contest. She won the part and throughout the rehearsal period was always well-prepared and dependable. Helen performed on the Louisville stage with the confidence of a professional. She received glowing reviews from Sweet Adelines worldwide and certainly played her part in winning our International Silver medal. Incredibly this was Helen’s first International competition! When she sang her beautiful solos she owned the stage and we are so proud of her. Well done Helen, you are most certainly a worthy nominee as our Unsung Champion and you have our respect and gratitude in bucketloads!
