Sweet Adelines International competition
The Sweet Adelines International Competitions are the annual global championships for women's barbershop harmony a cappella singing – in quartets and choruses – for members of Sweet Adelines International (SAI) and have been held annually between September and November since 1947.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sweetadelineintl.org/index.cfm?id=7 )〕 They are now the largest women's singing competition in the world with over 8000 participants at the 2014 convention. There are two competitions for choruses (the international championships and the "Harmony Classic" for smaller choruses), and two competitions for quartets (the international championships and the "Rising Star" for young singers). Currently, the first three of these competitions are held together and form the Sweet Adelines International Convention. Over the course of competition history, the most successful chorus has been ''Melodeers Chorus '' from Chicago with seven championship titles, and the most successful quartet singer was Connie Noble who won with four separate quartets. ''MAXX Factor'' from Baltimore holds the record for highest quartet score, and ''Rönninge Show Chorus'' from Stockholm for highest ever chorus score.
==History==
The first convention was held in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1947 for quartets – two years after the foundation of the first ''Sweet Adelines Inc.'' chapter in the city.〔 〕〔 〕 The competition was expanded to include choruses in 1973 and in 2000 the Harmony Classic competition for small and medium-sized choruses was introduced. Originally, Harmony Classic was held independently but since 2009 all three are now hosted together and run over the course of the convention week. A fourth event, the "Rising Star" competition, was introduced in 1999 for quartets whose members are under-25 years old. It was also held as part of convention from 2009 until 2012 but due to scheduling and cost constraints is now held independently again. Many non-competitive performances are also held during convention week, including by the previous year's chorus and quartet champions.
The convention is usually held in a city in the continental United States but has thrice been held internationally (England 1977, Canada 1962, 2007) and thrice in Hawaii (1987, 2008, 2013). A "spectacular fifty-year anniversary celebration" was held in New Orleans during the 1995 convention and the competition was intending to be held there a decade later in 2005, but was moved due to Hurricane Katrina. From 2015 to 2017 the city of Las Vegas will host the convention, the first time that the event has stayed in the same location for more than one year. The 2018 convention will be in St. Louis, Missouri, and 2019 will be in New Orleans, Louisiana.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sweetadelineintl.org/index.cfm?id=334 )〕 The 2020 convention is expected to be the first use of the newly renovated Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville, Kentucky, and is expecting to draw 10,000 attendees. Since 2004 the competition has been livestreamed over the internet as a popular donation-funded webcast, operated by an in-house media production team.
In recent years, the formal events of convention week proceed as follows:
