What Exactly Happened On The Way to the Alamo?

IES 2007

A funny thing did happen on the way to the Alamo this year during IES 2007. Once again, Sweet Adelines from around the world converged on San Antonio, Texas, and took the campus of Trinity University by storm — or should we say, by thunderous and vociferous sound? More than 1,500 attendees laughed, sang and amused themselves throughout the week. And the funny thing is … everything went off without a hitch, but rather, with a pitch. Ba dum tish!

Throughout the week attendees learned amazing vocal tips, developed new skills, made friends and were witness to some of the best performances ever.

Yet again, Sweet Adelines International has proven its global presence. The winners of the Harmony Classic competition came all the way from New Zealand and Sweden. And the bass from the Rising Star Champion Quartet originally hails from the United Kingdom. Sweet Adelines International is truly harmonizing the world!

You won’t want to miss IES 2008 where attendees from around the world will be “Kickin’ It Up A Notch” during the final annual International Education Symposium. More than 100 new classes will be offered and vocal expert Dr. Jim Henry will dazzle registrants with his experience and world-class instruction. For more information see the IES 2008 insert in the center of this issue.
