Show Adelines To Host Annual Convention Bountiful Chapter of Sweet Adelines, Inc., under the direction of Rob Ellis, will host the annual convention and competition of Sweet Adelines from six states, including Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. PRES. JOLENE Dixon says the competition, to be held April 20-21 at the Capitol Theatre, has as its theme, "Razzle Dazzle 'em with Barbershop." On Friday, April 20 at 7 p.m., will be the quartet competition; Saturday, Satur-day, April 21, 1 p.m., chorus competition; and Saturday, April 21 at 8 p.m., show of champions. Other Utah groups involved will be the Ogden Chapter, Salt Lake Chapter, Sego Lily Chapter of Murray, and the Utah Valley Chapter of Provo. PARTICIPANTS in either-the either-the quartet or chorus contests are judged by highly trained and qualified members in each of four categories: music, sound, expression and showmanship. In their six minutes on stage the contestants contes-tants must strive for a performance per-formance that is not only 'musically perfect but visually pleasing as well. It has taken months of preparation for all concerned to blend the notes of music and the choreographed movements into one flowing performance package. THE TOP three quartets and choruses are featured in this show, which will also include a performance by the hostesses, Bountiful Chapter. On Friday, April 20 at 5 p.m., there will be a mass sing at the ZCMI Mall, upper level. Anyone in the mall at that time will certainly be treated with a really big barbershop bar-bershop sound. THE PUBLIC is invited. Tickets will be available at the Capitol Theatre box office prior to each event. There are, however, two restrictions imposed on those who attend the competitions. No one may enter or leave the theatre during the six minutes that a contestant is on stage, and the use of lighted light-ed or flash camera equipment is forbidden. These restrictions restric-tions apply only to the contests con-tests and not to the Show of Champions or any other aspect as-pect of the weekend. |
