What a tremendous experience it was to return to the Region 12 Convention in Sparks, Nevada, after seven long years! Adjusting to the high elevation and chilly temperatures wasn’t easy, but we were bowled over by the beauty of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains, the cameraderie and supportiveness of our sister choruses, and the sheer joy of singing with so many Sweet Adelines in one place.
As you can tell from the photos (below), we gave it our all and had a blast singing with and watching the other contestants, as well.
Congratulations to all of this year’s contest performers, including the winning quartet, Equilibrium, from Emerald Valley Chorus in Springfield, Oregon!
Log on to the SAI Region 12 website HERE to watch all of the performances via video on demand from now through May 12.
It’s coming soon! This weekend, April 19-20, Na Leo Lani will be joining the rest of the Pacific Shores region choruses in Reno, Nevada, for the 2024 Sweet Adelines International Region 12 competition.

The webcast is an important fundraiser for Region 12, and it’s a whole lotta fun, as well. Support the singer in your life and watch us shine online!
This week’s rehearsal theme was “World Aquatic Animal Day” and, true to form, we ladies sang with the allure of Sirens and the harmonic trills of Ariel the mermaid. Mostly, though, we celebrated fish, whales, and other species of the sea as we continued working on our contest set for Reno and our upcoming Friends and Family concert this weekend. ‘Hope to see you all there!
Saturday April 6, 2 p.m.
Harris United Methodist Church, 20 South Vineyard Blvd, Honolulu
