Purchasing tickets to International competition has become an all-night affair …at least for some die-hard Sweet Adelines. These two Rich-Tone Chorus members (Carol Scherer and Caroline Rocco) were the first in line at 2017 International Convention and Competition in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, arriving around 3 a.m., to turn in their registrations for 2018 competition in St Louis, Missouri, USA.
