Sweet Adelines International 75th Jubilee Commemorative Album

When the Young Women in Harmony program was fading due to a shortage of arrangements that would appeal to and be voiced for young women, Master Arranger Marge Bailey sprang into action at the 1996 Arrangers Workshop, leading the attendees in creating new music.

As the pool of arrangers expanded, and more members were interested in joining their ranks, a program to train, mentor, and certify new arrangers was developed, the International Music Arrangers Program (IMAP). This program has continued to grow over the years, and was revamped and reintroduced in 2019 as the Arranger Certification Program (ACP). As Sweet Adelines ensembles continue to innovate with their creative and vibrant performances, so too will the ever-growing pool of talented Sweet Adelines arrangers continue to innovate with their new and exciting barbershop arrangements. SPOTLIGHT: ARRANGERS

I have a degree in music and a solid understanding of music theory. Through its ongoing commitment to education, Sweet Adelines has enabled me to take that knowledge and build upon it to develop my skills as a Certified Music Arranger. Thank you to all the many arrangers who went before me and willingly shared their extensive talents with me! —Kay Bromert
