Competition

Competition is a major and fun part of the barbershop world that helps keep us focused on raising the bar of performing excellence. We come together in a spirit of lighthearted contest, to see who's really got top form. We root for each other, cheer each other on, and once the medals have been handed out, we sing and party into the night!

Regional

Every year in April California HEAT Chorus makes the trip to Reno, NV to compete in our regional contest. Dozens of choruses and quartets come together to sing and compete. There are a number of judging categories, and the groups bring complete and entertaining packages. If you're anywhere near Reno, NV in the spring, please come be a part of the fun!

International

In October each year, the winners of all regional contests -- and a few "wildcards" -- gather together at International competition. In 2011 International competition was held in Houston, TX.  You can view the complete contest on an archived webcast on the Sweet Adelines International website. This is the ultimate female barbershop competition -- not to be missed!
