Here's a little Annapolis Blend history that feels pretty relevant right now. 😊
We weren't always "The Annapolis Blend." When our chorus was founded in 1966, we were the Arundelair Chorus. Becoming The Annapolis Blend didn't mean leaving that behind. We'll always be Arundelairs. Where we came from is just as much a part of us as where we're going.
In January 2023, we made the decision to change our name. It was scary. Change usually is. But looking back, our updated name helped us grow in ways we didn't expect, including welcoming new members who might not have found us otherwise.
So when we heard that Sweet Adelines International is becoming SingUnited International, we understand the mix of emotions that comes with it. The name Sweet Adelines is woven into this organization's history, into our history, and it always will be. A new name is just the next step forward, built on everything that came before.
If you ask us, SingUnited International couldn't have picked a better name for what we're working toward. 🎵
