Hello, Region 16.

Sweet Adelines International has announced the Order of Appearance for Region 16's quartet and chorus competitions.

We are delighted and excited to say we have twelve (12) quartets and fourteen (14) choruses competing in either the International or Evaluation Divisions, crossing the stage on May 9th and 10th, 2025 at the Pickering Casino in Pickering, Ontario.

Off the Risers Quartet from Greater Kingston will be serving as mic testers, and current Regional Champions, Greater Kingston Chorus, will be performing their outgoing package. Joining this exciting lineup are our current 2025 International Champions, North Metro Chorus.

Best of luck to all competitors, and most of all, have fun. The Region and your biggest fans will be cheering you loud and proud!

PLEASE note that the quartet contest will start at 2:00 pm, not 3:00 pm as noted in the Convention Handbook. More to follow in the Quartet Supplement.

Also, please read about a fundraising opportunity at the bottom of this eblast.
