Dear Region 11: It seems that lots of us have questions and/or confusion about Sweet Adelines International’s “Ignite the Sound” program, which was announced earlier this year. Here are the answers to some common questions: 1. What is “Ignite the Sound”? Ignite the Sound is a program and contest whose intention is to provide all Sweet Adelines (SA) regions and chapters with incentive and supportive resources to increase membership growth, aid in membership retention, and encourage the formation of quartets. Ultimately, the program is about building back our membership after attrition during the pandemic and making us stronger than ever! 2. 2. How does the contest work? The worldwide contest runs from June 6, 2022 through April 30, 2023. It is in two parts: one contest among the regions, and one among the chapters (divided into categories according to chapter size at the beginning of the contest). The regional contest will award: To the SA region that achieves the highest percentage net growth of primary members by the end of the contest: $5,000, and recognition at the 2023 international convention. To the SA region that adds the highest percentage net growth of quartets: $1,000 a group coaching session facilitated by an international champion quartet; and recognition in The Pitch Pipe. The chapter contest will award to the SA chapter in each of the Small, Mid-Size and Large Chorus categories that achieves the highest percentage net growth of primary members overall: $3,000 a virtual coaching session; and recognition in the Pitch Pipe. Note: for this contest, the “small” “medium” and “large” chorus designations are measured differently than they are for our singing competitions. For the purposes of Ignite the Sound only, Small choruses are 1-21 members, Medium are 22-34 members, and Large are 35+ members. For more information, the contest rules are posted in the Members Only portion of the SA website, here, and I have attached a copy of the rules to this message for your convenience. 3. 3. How are the results being tracked? All members of SA must be included in the international membership database when we join. SA is using that database to measure membership and growth. The first “baseline” measurement was taken on June 5, 2022. They will take the final measurement on April 30, 2023. In order to be counted, each member needs to be included in the database as a "primary" member of the chapter/region (dual members are counted only toward their primary chapter/region), and deemed in good standing. It is the responsibility of each chapter to make sure that their roster is complete and accurate on the measurement dates, so Membership leaders, let’s be extra sure that we’re updating our rosters promptly! 4. 4. Is it too late to start participating? Not at all! There are 7 full months left in the contest. That’s plenty of time to engage in marketing, plan events, fill your risers and register those quartets! SA has provided lots of great resources to assist us all with these activities. You can find them here after logging into the SA website. BONUS: but wait. . . there’s MORE! There is also a “Micro-Contest” you can easily organize! To enter, host a costumed watch party for the International Convention, take a group selfie with your screen showing the webcast visible in the picture, and email it to member@... by Tuesday, September 20 at 4:30 pm Central Time. The top 5 photos will be shared by SA for voting, and the winning photo gets $1,000! If you have further questions about the program or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to me. Ready? Ignition! Bridget Barrett Region 11 Membership Coordinator membershipcoordinator@... bijoubarrett@... +1 (415) 860-7526
