REGION 15 CONVENTION/CONTEST 2022

Capitaland Chorus competes each year in the Sweet Adelines International (SAI) Region 15 annual convention and contest. This three-day event features dozens of choruses and quartets from the region, which extends from Saratoga to Long Island and New Jersey. The convention has been held in Albany since 2014. It was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions but is expected to return in May 2022.  

During the contest, each chorus performs two songs: a ballad and an “up-tune.” Choruses are judged for qualities such as sound, music, expression, and showmanship. In addition to overall honors, medals are awarded in categories based on the size of the chorus. The top overall medal winner is eligible to compete at the SAI Convention against choruses from across the U.S. and the world.
