A funny thing happened on the way to the Alamo ... nearly 1,500 barbershop goddesses shared the gift of harmony and learning at the 2007 International Education Symposium.

If the above statement is a prediction, shouldn’t you think about registering today?

Follow Sweet Adelines International leaders down the path of infinite wisdom and become immersed, cascaded and dunked in bottomless fountains of musical knowledge.

Relationships are born at IES, new friends are made, and learning happens. Also be part of a competition forum where the top 10 small and midsize choruses compete in Harmony Classic and some of the best high school and college quartets battle it out for the top prize in the Rising Star Quartet Contest.

The proverbial IES torch will be lit and carried by each attendee in what is sure to be the best IES ever.

IES planners have added 34 new elective classes this year!

Specialized Tracks
IES brings quality education to every participant. Specialists in each field have planned programs of sequential learning in a variety of subjects. Individual tracks blend required and elective classes. These tracks target the following areas: choreographers and visual leaders, coaches, directors and novice directors, section leaders, judges, IMAP members, RMT members, symposium chorus, quartets, vocal production, music educators, Young Women in Harmony and general electives. With this "school within a school" concept, participants will be able to focus on a special area of interest without sacrificing elective opportunities.

Judges Track
Specialized training funded by the international organization will be provided to members of the International Judging Program beginning Wednesday morning July 11 and will continue throughout IES. Judges will be invited to score the Rising Star and Harmony Classic Contests as part of their training.

IMAP Track
Members of the International Music Arrangers Program will also receive specialized training at IES beginning Thursday, July 12 and throughout IES.

International Champion Quartet
The current International Champion Quartet will perform at all general sessions and demonstrate in classes through the symposium.

Music in the Morning
Music in the morning is an IES favorite! Each day starts with a full-length class of warm-up exercises, vocal techniques and rehearsal energizers taught by top director/choreographer teams.
