Why nominated
Louise is our resounding and much-loved choice for Unsung Champion. As the Leader and driving force behind the Costume Team she works tirelessly behind the scenes, blending skill, imagination and dedication to transform creative ideas into beautifully realised costumes.
With over 100 chorus members to support Louise ensures that every bespoke piece not only looks stunning but helps us to feel confident, proud and truly at home on stage, enhancing our musical performance.
As competitions approach Louise and her team are always on hand, calmly and meticulously making last minute adjustments, repairing, stitching and perfecting every detail. No request is ever too small, no deadline too tight and no sartorial challenge too complex.
Louise’s commitment extends to her home where she welcomes the Costume Team to work in a dedicated sewing room, while her garage has become a storage space. It is a reflection of the generosity and care she brings to everything she does for Forth Valley Chorus.
Louise truly embodies the spirit of Unsung Champion and her impact is felt and seen every time we step on stage. Forth Valley would simply not shine as brightly without her.
