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, the Heart of Maryland Chorus makes the trip to Ocean City, MD 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 Ocean City from April 29-30, please come be a part of the fun!  All events are held at the Ocean City Convention Center and tickets are available at the door.  For more information, visit the SAI Region 19 website.

International

Sometime in the fall the winners of all regional contests -- and a few "wildcards" -- gather together at International competition. In 2011 International competition will be held in Houston, TX October 17-22. You can view the complete contest on a live webcast on the Sweet Adelines International website. This is the ultimate female barbershop competition -- not to be missed!  Click here for more information.
