Who are we? The Scenic City Chorus of Sweet Adelines International (SAI)

  • We are an a cappella chorus of approximately 70 voices, made up of women and other marginalized genders
  • We sing 4 part harmony in the barbershop genre. There are 24 “Sweet Adelines” regions around the world and about 21,000 singers involved.
  • We are directed by Jennifer Cooke (https://www.sceniccitychorus.com/dbpage.php?pg=director). Jen is a Master Director and has served on the International Board of Directors. She is a member of our region (Region 4: Harmony Heartland) faculty and is a well-loved and respected coach throughout our region and beyond.
  • We recently took 3rd place in Region 4 competition, which included over 20 choruses.
  • We seek to expand our chorus and add members who love to sing and find joy in music


What is required?

  • Prospective members need to love music and love to sing.
  • Prospective members do not need to be experienced performers.
  • The ability to read music is not required.
  • Prospective members must pass an audition to be welcomed as an official member of the chorus.
  • There is an upfront membership fee from the international organization, along with monthly dues to the chorus.  Detailed financial information will be provided to all prospective members.


What types of memberships are available to me?

  • Virtual Membership:  Geography is not an issue with this membership!  You can join us online every Monday as a part of our chorus, receiving music/learning tracks, participating in all educational events, and enjoying opportunities to sing in virtual chorus projects.  This membership is associate only.
  • OOTer (Out of Towner) Membership:  This member will participate fully in virtual chorus rehearsals and will transfer to in-person rehearsals when they occur.  Because these members are long-distance, they will participate in a combination of in-person and online rehearsals in the future.
  • Member:  This membership is for those who are geographically close enough to join in-person rehearsals, when those occur in the future.  These members will attend virtual rehearsals until the transition to in-person rehearsals.
