It's your chance to shine!!

Below is a character breakdown and a small segment of lines from the show! Please let us know which part you would like to be considered for and send a video link (phone footage is fine) by May 23rd?to lindalborg@....
****
Characters:
DOROTHY?- Straight from the Wizard of Oz. After clicking her heels together, she wakes up in Kansas City rather than Kansas.?
NARRATOR?- A showy, jazzy character who's not afraid of the spotlight.
?****
PLEASE READ for one of the following parts. Reading by yourself OR with someone else is acceptable. Either way, please react to the other characters' lines before responding. We want to see how creative you can be!
Script:
DOROTHY: Wow, the music here sure is swell. I’m learning all kinds of new things like what overtones sound like…and that boots are made for walking…who knew? I wouldn’t have gotten so many blisters on the yellow brick road if I had had a good pair of walking boots!
NARRATOR: That right there, Dorothy, is my favorite quartet. And they definitely didn’t just pay me to say that. (wink)
DOROTHY: Did you just take a bribe?
NARRATOR: (ignores her) It’s time to see what the second chorus has been cookin’ up for us.
DOROTHY: How much of a bribe would it cost me to sing with the next chorus?
NARRATOR: Dorothy, my pretty, you’re interrupting my flow. (she starts again)?It’s time to see what the second chorus has been cookin’ up for us. Either we’re about to get some barbecue or they’re ready to set this joint on fire...
DOROTHY: I could really see myself singing barbershop too! I already have the perfect quartet in mind with my friends the Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Lion! We could call ourselves “The Ruby Slippers”
NARRATOR: I need those ruby sli..Uh, yeah, I need to know what part you would sing?
DOROTHY: Oh, well I’m not sure.
NARRATOR: Better figure it out. Take a look at this next group, fresh off the train here at the Kansas City station, they’re ready to jump into International...?
Thank you, The Winners' Circle Show Committee

Golden West Region 21 Contest
Good Morning Region 11 Friends, We are all excited for this week’s contest in Torrance. If you are planning to attend any of the activities this weekend here is some “good to know” information for planning your trip. - SETs and AETs must be purchased in advance. Last week, I gave you some incorrect information as I thought SETs would be available for purchase at the auditorium. This is not the case. ?Here is a link to get your tickets before arrival.
??????????????? - Here is a link to the digital program. Pay particular attention to page 4 that will give you valuable information regarding parking at the Marsee Auditorium. Parking for the contest is in Lot H which is a five-story complex located behind the auditorium. Lot J, which is in the front of the auditorium, has limited handicapped parking for those who have a placard. Lot J is reserved for faculty, even on Saturdays, and you will get ticketed if you park in this lot.
???????????????? - If you are not able to join us this weekend but would still like to see the contest, there will be a live webcast. Here is the link to get access.
??????????????? - If you plan to join us at the Marriott for the Boutique, Quartet Jamboree, or the Harmony Showcase, I suggest parking in one of the commercial lots nearby or on the street around the hotel and walking a few extra steps. The Del Amo Mall is not far and has ample free parking.
We hope to reconnect with many of our singing friends in Region 11. Let the Music Bring Us Together! In Harmony, Sheree Mills Harborlites Chorus, Boutique Manager

Region 21 Harmony Boutique
Region 11 Friends, Next week, the Golden West Region 21 contest will be held at the Marsee Auditorium on the campus of El Camino Community College right in the heart of Region 11. We hope to see many of our singing friends in the audience. If you would like to attend, AETs ($165) and SETs ($70) will be sold at the auditorium prior to the contests or at . The auditorium is located at 16007 Crenshaw Blvd. in Torrance. ? All competitors will be housed just a few miles away from the auditorium at the Torrance Marriott, 3635 Fashion Way in Torrance. For the first time since 2019, Harborlites Chorus is delighted to host a “Harmony Boutique” in the Lighthouse Ballroom. You are all welcome to visit the boutique, shop, see old friends, sing a few tags, have a libation in the bar, hang out, and enjoy the events that will take place in the hotel. The attached flyer will provide all of the information you need if you’d like to join in the festivities. There is a $10 charge for the Thursday evening “Quartet Jamboree,” and the Saturday evening ”Harmony Showcase” is free. Hope to see you soon. ? Let the music bring us together. In Harmony, Sheree Mills Harmony Boutique Manager ?

Below is a communication from SAI concerning our latest contest. If you have questions, please reach out to me and I will ensure your inquiry gets to the correct person.?
Thank you,
Kim Alley Team Coordinator, Region 11 _______________________________________________________________________________________________
Dear Region 11 competitors and members, My name is Paula Davis. I am the Judge Specialist Moderator for SAI, responsible for the International Judging Program which includes judges, trial scorers and panel secretaries as well as the oversight of our contests. Congratulations to all Region 11 competitors, your regional competition team and RMT who worked so hard to create a great contest experience and to all that prepared all year to bring their best to the stage. As you might know, there are quite a few things going on simultaneously in the Judges area during a contest. ?During your contest, ?there was one documentation entry that occured during the contest that was unknowingly mistakenly entered. ?That erroneous number was one small number, but ultimately had big impact on the outcome of the contest. ?At no fault of any chorus, a small slip of typing a 3 instead of a 2 resulted in the wrong number of singers for one chorus. That chorus, Lady Luck Showtime Chorus, became a Division AA chorus instead of a Division A. ?The result was that the 2nd place mid-size and all three small chorus awards were awarded incorrectly. I was notified of this mistake?on Sunday afternoonafter the contest. ?On Monday morning, I communicated with your regional and competition leadership and together we worked out a notification plan that could best reach out, explain the situation and result, and help these directors process this information their emotions and the way forward. ?All choruses have now been contacted and a transfer of medals to the appropriate chorus is currently in progress..? I would like to express my deepest apology for the error that lead to the confusion with the Division A ranking and medals. ?While mistakes are very human, it can be quite unsettling when that error affects you. ?We completely understand the challenges this kind of mistake cause. ?On behalf of Sweet Adelines International Judging Program, I ?want to express our sincere apology and regret for any negative impact this error may have had on each chorus and their regional friends and supporters.? While we never want to have an error, when one does occur we immediately begin to examine the cause and how we can prevent it from happening again. ?Please know that we have already started brainstorming ideas to prevent these kinds of errors as we endeavor to make every contest experience be a positive one. ?While we always try to be educational, this time?we?are the ones gaining education to become better in?our?performance. We would like to thank all of the chorus directors and members that have been affected in this situation for your gracious understanding and response. ?Every person and director that I have spoken with have shown such beautiful responses of care and friendship for their sister choruses. Region 11 and these choruses are a beautiful example of how we hope all choruses and members care for one another. Truly, it is as the song says, “It’s the music that brings us together, but it’s the friendships that make us stay”. ? Thank you for your gracious understanding. Judge Specialist Moderator, Sweet Adelines, International
