Glenna Berdahl, Certified Director
Meet Glenna Berdahl, our director. A member of Bridger Mountain Harmony chorus since 1983, she became our director in 1997. The following year, she won the "1998 Novice Director Award" at our regional competition. Glenna continues to hone her directing skills and push our chorus to new levels of excellence. In 2007 she completed the Director’s Certification Program (DCP) and earned the title of Certified Director. Glenna did not leave singing behind when she became our director. Glenna sings bass in the Five Valley Chorus which competed at the International competition in Detroit in 2005 and will be doing so again in Calgary in 2007.
Glenna earned her degree at Dickinson State University in North Dakota and taught music K-8. She presently teaches piano and is employed by Eckroth Music.
It seems music has always been a part of Glenna’s life as her dad played sax and clarinet in bands in Arizona and North Dakota while her mom has retired from singing barbershop. Glenna and her husband Orley, who plays in a local dance band, have four children, two of whom sing with Sweet Adelines. Glenna has done a super job directing our chorus and incorporating many new members who have joined us in recent years.
