Perfect Fourth traveled to Albany, NY in May to participate in the Greater NY/NJ Region 15 Quartet Competition.  Their electrifying performance earned them 6^th place and the 2018 Novice Quartet "Cracker Jills" Award.  We are incredibly proud of them.  Although this was their first appearance on the stage at Regional competition, Perfect Fourth performed at the 2017 Sweet Adelines International Rising Star Quartet Contest in Maryland where they received the Stars to Watch Award.  Visit their Facebook page for more information on what this talented young quartet is up to next.

Today we hear the story of Mary and Sky.  Enjoy!

When did you come to Barbershop singing? 

Mary:  In a weird way, I brought myself to Barbershop singing when I suggested Sky’s dad visit a local BarberShop chorus in PA, when she and Sagan were little. He came home walking on air, included the kids in Quartet practice in our living room, and we went to the SPEBSQSA/BHS International Contest every summer for vacation. And when Sky and Sagan got older, the four of us sang BarberShop music in a quartet.

Sky:  My dad started singing barbershop when I was about six years old - my mom found the ad in the paper looking for men who loved to sing and the rest is history... I was hooked!  

Terri and Danielle are a Mother/Daughter pair who also took the time to answer our questions about how their barbershop experiences.

When did you come to barbershop singing? Who brought who to SOS?

Terri:  I was introduced to barbershop nine years ago. My daughter, Danielle, was in seventh grade and had Sky Harris as her choral teacher. I attended summer camp performances, and her first regional competition as a chaperone.  Danielle was hooked on barbershop and SOS hooked me.
