Update on Spring 2022 Convention & Contest
updated 11/11/2021
By now you should have received the communication from Sweet Adelines International (SAI) indicating that there will be a Spring 2022 Convention and Contest Season. Yay! As the email states, SAI understands that every region is in different circumstances that may impact their abilities to host an in person event. Considering that, they have given each Regional Management Team (RMT) the decision-making power to choose which format of contest works best for them.
Region 19's Regional Convention Steering Committee (RCSC) visited the Lancaster Penn Marriott and Convention Center last month to assess the health and safety precautions that are now in place. We are also evaluating safety practices in other large performance venues like the Kennedy Center in DC and theaters on Broadway to see how they are safely approaching performing in large groups and with large audiences. The RCSC will meet on November 15 to firm up recommendations to the RMT about how to implement a Spring Convention safely.
The Regional Management Team (RMT) will meet on November 21 to discuss our Convention and Contest format. We will hear the RCSC recommendation and then make a decision on whether to have an in-person or video contest. We understand that some choruses may not be ready to perform in-person yet, so if we decide on an in-person convention, the RMT will be considering adding some non-contest activities to the convention weekend so that there will be something for everyone.
By December 6 we need to report our choice of contest format to international. At that time we will roll out more information to the Region 19 membership. In the meantime, we encourage you to read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and forward any additional questions or concerns you may have to your RMT liaison.
We are looking forward to a Spring Convention and Contest Season. While it may look a little different than we've seen in the past, the bonds and comradery we have built will be as strong as ever.
In Harmony,
The Regional Management Team
