International Competition
October 19-23 ~
Seattle, WA!!

 

The Sweet Adelines are coming!!

The 2010 SAI Convention will take place right in our own backyard October 19-23! More than 70 quartets and 43 choruses will ring barbershop chords and heat up the stage in five days of competitions, including the Harmony Classic and Rising Star Contest. Additionally, educational events, the Coronet Club Show and Harmony Bazaar await you!

Representing Region 13 in Seattle will be Pacific Sound Chorus, plus our Regional Quartet Champions, LiveWire. Mojo, the 2010 Ninth Place International Quartet, also returns to the stage. In addition, Jet Cities Chorus will be the mic testers for the Harmony Classic.

NEW! A terrific educational opportunity also takes place on Friday, October 22, from 9:00-10:30 am in the Seattle Convention Center, when Dale Syverson and the Richtones Chorus present "IT'S ALL ABOUT ENERGY!" Don't miss this class on the effects of energy on vocal and visual performance. You'll see how much energy it takes to win an international contest...or to beef up your Division A chorus!

Here is a FANTASTIC educational opportunity for Region 13 members who plan to attend the Sweet Adelines International contests in Seattle, October 19-23, 2010. 

First, register for our A Cappella Gone WILDER program...it's FREE (yes, FREE!!!). Registered members then will receive information on Performance Guidelines and have the opportunity to self-score either the Quartet or Chorus Finals Contest (or both!) at International. Participants will also receive a schedule of International chorus competitor rehearsals, so you can visit and see how top-level rehearsals are run. Learn some new warm-ups, watch their approach to good vocal production, or catch some new choreography ideas. Region 13 members who participate will share what they learned at a special class at SET 2011, scheduled for August 5-7 in Eastern Washington.

What do YOU get out of this? First, you'll learn about the nuances of an international competition and what it takes to be "A." And then, you will automatically receive $10 off your 2011 SET registration. Plus, a winner will be drawn each day during convention for a fully-paid registration for SET 2011!

You can't lose! An incredible learning opportunity, an automatic $10 off your 2011 SET registration and the opportunity to win a free registration to SET 2011! Just for registering by September 27, 2010!

You were going to International anyway... why not give this a try, learn a few things from the best in the art form, and get $10 off your SET 2011 registration?
