Sweet Adelines International: sweetadelines.com
Founded in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1945, Sweet Adelines started as a small group of women who loved to sing. Since then, it has evolved into an organization that spans the globe connecting thousands of singers around the world in song. We're dedicated to preserving the unique sound of a cappella barbershop harmony, sharing our passion for music and empowering our community in every area of their lives.
Region 12 Sweet Adelines International: www.sairegion12.org/dbpage.php?pg=home
There are over 20 choruses in Region 12 and an even larger number of quartets. These groups strive for singing and performing at the highest level possible, and to that end choruses and quartets compete annually at a Regional Convention, usually held in late April or early May in the Reno, Nevada area. Winners in the quartet and chorus competitions are eligible to compete at International Conventions, held in the fall each year. Typically our second place chorus qualifies as a Wild Card chorus in the International Competition, and we have had a number of Wild Card quartets as well. Region 12 is proud to say that several quartets and one chorus have won the International competitions.
