Do you like to sing? Harmonize?
Think about visiting one of our chapters!
Click on the 'Choruses' button to find a chorus
near your location. All our choruses welcome visitors, and are delighted to orient prospective members to the organization.
Many of them offer special programs at the beginning of the fall - vocal instruction and other educational offerings are commonly
available.
Full Membership
Full membership in Sweet Adelines International entitles the member to all educational, performance and
competition benefits provided by the organization. A full member of Sweet Adelines International is a member of a chorus and
a region, as well as the international organization. There are approximately 30,000 members in chapters in most of the 50
states, and other countries worldwide. From the international organization, members receive a membership card, a subscription
to The Pitch Pipe, mailings from international, member rates for international convention registrations and educational
events, and discounts on purchases from International Sales. Members learn vocal production, music, choreography, stage production,
costuming, makeup and much more in the exciting entertainment field.
Youth Membership
This option is open
to females 25 years or younger (minimum age may be determined by a chorus, and additional chorus rules may apply. For example,
some chapters require chaperones to travel with youth members for out-of- town performances.) Youth members receive full membership
privileges, and are required to pay only one-half of the regular international per capita fee. Choruses are also encouraged,
but not required, to provide discounted chapter dues for youth members.
Associate Membership
Associate membership
was created primarily for members with physical disabilities or time constraints which make it difficult to meet rehearsal
requirements and the associated rigors of performing and competing. Except for being prohibited from performing or competing
in a Sweet Adelines Chorus, an associate member holds all other privileges of active membership. Associate members pay the
full international per capita fee and regional assessments. Associate members may belong to, perform with, and compete in
quartets. Associate members may reapply for regular membership at any time, following the membership and audition procedures
established by the chapter. From the international organization, associate members receive a membership card, a subscription
to The Pitch Pipe, mailings from international headquarters, member rates for international convention registration
and educational events and discounts on purchases from International Sales.
