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 March or April Pacific Empire Chorus makes the trip to our regional convention, to compete in a 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 Reno, NV, in the spring, please come be a part of the fun!

International

Sometime in the fall the winners of all regional contests -- and a few "wildcards" -- gather together at International competition. In 2010 International competition will be held in Seattle, WA in October.. 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!
