Real Reasons from Real Women*

"When I joined, I was just looking for a place to sing.

I found a place I didn’t know I’d been looking for… I’m loved, I’m appreciated, I belong, and I found me.

And I’m a better person for having found Sweet Adelines."

"It's all about the song of life. The melody lingers long after the singing stops.

It's about friendships, family, education, acceptance, blossoming and being a star!"

“The education I have gotten from regular rehearsals and regional events has been much more than I expected.

I had no formal music education previous to joining Sweet Adelines.

I have loved every minute of it!”

"Being a Sweet Adeline is just so much FUN!

The music brings us in and the friendships keep us in!

The friendships I have made as a Sweet Adeline will last a lifetime.”

“What other hobby allows a woman like me, of average abilities,

the opportunity of performing on stage just like a professional?

I love all the glitter and glamour of Show Biz!”

"I saw a Sweet Adelines chorus perform in a mall in another state, and I really wanted to try it.

At the time, my schedule was too tight, but I promised myself I'd try it someday...and I'm so glad I did!

When guests tell us they don't think they can join today,

I always remind them that not now doesn't mean not ever. "

"A friend invited me to sing for eight weeks in the holiday chorus.

I got hooked and stayed.

I cannot imagine doing anything else with my Tuesday evenings."
