The Scottsdale Chorus won their 4th gold medal in Seattle, WA at the Sweet Adelines International Chorus Competition, October 19-23, 2010.  Performing for more than 8000 barbershop fans in Seattle's Key Arena, the chorus competed against thirty-two choruses representing regions from all over the world including Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Sweden, Canada and the United States.

With 116 women on stage, under the direction of Master Director Lori Lyford, the Scottsdale Chorus competed in Semi-final and Final performances that included intense ballads and jaw-dropping up-tunes that had the audience wiping away tears one minute and screaming out of their seats the next.

The chorus has competed in 15 International contests since 1974, never achieving less than Third Place.  Their competitive spirit and commitment to musical excellence has led them to the coveted First Place International Championship three times prior to this year: 1984, 1989, and 2006.
