Welcome to Region 21 Golden West –
Sweet Adelines International

SPRING CONVENTION

It is with a heavy heart but with hope for a healthy future for our sisterhood around the globe that

Golden West Region 21’s Regional Convention and Competition has been cancelled.

From Sweet Adelines International:

…As a result of how rapidly the situation has changed and the global pandemic declaration, the International Board of Directors held an emergency call to discuss regional competitions and how best to proceed. The call’s agenda not only included discussion of our primary duty of care to our members, but also legal and financial considerations driven by COVID-19. After much discussion, the extremely difficult decision has been made to cancel all regional competitions for 2020.

We know this will come as an enormous disappointment to many of you and it is not a decision we took lightly. Our primary concern is your health and safety.

…To ensure that our members still have the opportunity to compete this year, a contingency competition plan has been developed for 2020. The plan allows for placements at the regional level and provides a path to qualify for the international competition through the submission of video performances. The details of the contingency plan are being finalized and will be released very soon.

…We know you have many questions and we have compiled a preliminary list of FAQs to address your concerns. As we gather additional information, the FAQs will be updated.

We hope everyone will “Sing for the Roses” via video!

YWIH QUARTET COMPETITION

Stars of the West

Young Women in Harmony (YWIH) Quartet Competition

Showcase your talents at the Region 21 contest, Stars of the West. Quartets of young women are invited to share their music with singers from across the region, compete to win prizes, and get valuable feedback on official scoresheets. All are welcome – though it is a Region 21 contest, quartets from across the country – or across the world – are invited to join us in Ontario, CA. for education, competition, and fun.

Participation in the Stars of the West contest is in no way connected to the Rising Star contest – quartets may compete in both contests if they so choose. The winning quartet will receive four (4) All Events Tickets (AETs) with VIP seating to the Golden West Region 21 Spring Convention and Competition in Phoenix, AZ in April 2021. They will also be invited to perform on the Saturday evening “Harmony Showcase.”

Let your light shine at Stars of the West!
