A small ensemble from the chorus performed for a very appreciative audience, including one former Sweet Adeline! One patron said we were the best group they had ever heard at Peregrine!

Capitaland Chorus performed in Sweet Adelines International Region 15 chorus competition, held in Albany on April 22. The chorus earned medals for 1st place small chorus, most improved chorus, and 4th place in the overall competition! The region encompasses barbershop choruses from most of NY state, New Jersey and Long Island.
On Tuesday, March 21, 12:00 pm, in the 4th Floor Lobby of the Capitol Building, Albany, a rally was held in support of arts funding in the state budget. Mad Caps sang the national anthem to kick off the ceremony.
Senator José Serrano sponsored the rally, along with Assembly Member Danny O’Donnell, and other state representatives, and New Yorkers for Culture & Arts. Several arts and culture groups from across NYS attended to show their support.
Capitaland quartets and chorus will be competing in the Sweet Adelines Region 15 Convention and Contest being held this year on April 21st and 22nd, 2023. One of our traditions is to give a free, special pre-convention performance for our friends and family to say thank you for their support and encouragement.
Teresian House residents were entertained by a music group for the first time in several years! We were so pleased to sing for our good friend, Judy Vincent, a long time Sweet Adeline!

Capitaland Chorus was excited to have the opportunity to work with Diane Porsch, director of Buffalo Gateway chorus, for two evenings as we prepare for Sweet Adelines Region 15 competition being held in Albany, April 21-22, 2023. The chorus competes on Saturday with 10 other choruses from the region, which includes Long Island, New Jersey, and other NY choruses. Two quartets from the chorus will compete on Friday afternoon. The public is invited to attend; tickets are available onsite at the Empire State Convention Center. Weather permitting, a "mass sing" is scheduled for Friday afternoon, prior to the quartet competition.
Our newest member, baritone Mary Sitterly, is welcomed by her "big sister", Sherri Strickman. Sherri will be a resource for Mary to answer questions about her music and about chorus events as Capitaland gets ready for our annual regional convention and competition.
