Sweet Adelines International is promoting an organization-wide Global Open House event in January 2012. All Sweet Adelines International choruses will be welcoming guests simultaneously throughout the month of January 2012. TVSC invites you to our open house on TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 2012 from 7:00pm - 9:45pm (see our flyer on our "Calendar" page)
All over the globe, Sweet Adelines International choruses are joining together to teach the world to sing. Treasure Valley Showtime Chorus is a chapter of Sweet Adelines International, an organization of nearly 25,000 women worldwide who sing four-part a cappella harmony, barbershop style.
Our members share a love for music and singing barbershop harmony. As a member, you too can experience the exhilaration of performing and singing with us. Any woman of average singing ability, with or without vocal training, will find a part that fits her voice range with the help of the chorus’ musical leaders and director(s).
Sweet Adelines International Mission Statement
Sweet Adelines International is a worldwide organization of women singers committed to advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony through education and performance.
Why do we love Sweet Adelines? Here are some comments from our members:
"I love this chorus! My job is stressful and there are many Tuesdays when it would be easy to go home and miss rehearsal. But, as soon as I walk in the rehearsal room, the friendships I have in TVSC remind me that this is exactly where I need and want to be! One of my greatest joys is singing bass with Minor Adjustment quartet. I couldn’t ask for better friends than Jerrie, Connie and Linda. We learn from each other and share so much fun together. Spending time with my quartet feeds my mind, soul and heart!"
- Brenda
"The Treasure Valley Showtime Chorus makes barbershop harmonies ring with glorious sounds. TVSC is full of women who support and care for each other and who can, as a chorus, sing reflective and moving ballads or up-tunes full of life and energy. Our repertoire is wide ranging in type and style for every occasion. It is an awesome feeling to be a part of a group like this."
- Carol F.
"In addition to Sweet Adelines members being a widespread sisterhood of caring friends, we share the love of a musical art form that is incredibly joyous in its nature. It spreads a sparkling musical joy everywhere we sing it and brightens up all types of events. It is impossible to be sad where you're singing or listening to this wonderful harmony, and it can be our gift to the world any time we want it to be! Wonderful!"
- Linda
"The sisterhood of Sweet Adelines is so wonderful. This worldwide family of women will send cards to an unknown sister fighting breast cancer, sympathy cards for a sisters loss of a husband, son, mother, daughter or father. These women will also offer to help a quartet sing on stage after the loss of a member. We are all a part of these amazing women. I am proud to be a member of Sweet Adelines!"
- Kirby
"Sweet Adelines is a wonderful organization that not only provides the opportunity to learn about music, singing, and having fun, but is so much more. It is a wonderful group of women ~ a sisterhood and friendships made that will last a lifetime."
- Carolyn
"What Sweet Adeline’s means to me: It means an awful lot to me as evidenced by my driving to Boise every week [from Twin Falls, Idaho, 128 miles away], for the past 11 plus years. I love the camaraderie with my sister singers, also I love to sing, and have since I was a young child. I love all of the singing instructions I have learned from Jerrie and all of the coaching sessions I have had the privilege of participating in. Also I love our director and can’t think of another director I would like as well. I love being a member of Treasure Valley Show Time Chorus and also feel very privileged to be a part of it."
- Margery
"I joined Treasurer Valley Showtime Chorus after a number of years of formal voice lessons, and I have been very impressed with the quality of vocal instruction in our chorus. If a gal were to ask me where to get voice lessons, I would tell them to join Sweet Adelines. You can't strain your voice, or there are no overtones (called "ringing the chords.") You will learn how to breathe properly, and how to put your song across to your audience. Not only do we make great music in Treasurer Valley Showtime Chorus, we have the nicest groups of ladies. I always feel encouraged and uplifted when I leave chorus."
- Janet
"Once you join Sweet Adelines you gain friendships that stay with you always - plus you are constantly gaining new friends. I had to be away for several years and upon coming back - it was as though I never left. While there were many who were there when I left there were others who had come in while I was gone and they, too, became my friends. It is a sisterhood that you will cherish and enjoy forever."
- Rene L.
"I joined TVSC wanting to find a fun chorus I could sing in – and I was blessed with that and so much more! All the ladies are so kind and helpful, and they truly care about you and make you feel welcome. I’ve taken voice lessons before, and what I’ve learned singing barbershop has been the best and most rewarding musical experience of my life. Even when I go to rehearsals tired after working all day, I always feel refreshed and uplifted by the time I leave. I guarantee it will do the same for you!"
