This quartet consists of Janet Pilon - lead,
Judy Robichaud - tenor, Carolyn Marshall - bass, and Cathy
Hunter - baritone. Janet has competed in a chorus as a lead,
in a quartet as tenor, and wanted to challenge herself to
singing lead in a quartet for contest. She went about searching
for the other three parts. Judy and Carolyn came to mind
as tenor and bass as Janet sang with these ladies two years
ago in a quartet called Seas the Moment. Now to find a baritone.
A few talented ladies came to mind and then the search led
to Cathy Hunter who currently sings with the ScotianAires
Ladies Chorus in Dartmouth. Although Cathy is new to barbershop
singing, she has past experience singing as a soloist and
in choirs, and has competed in music festivals. The four
ladies met on January 18, 2006 to get to know each other,
sing a few songs to see if there was a blend, and to discuss
goals. There was a blend and we were all up for the task
and challenges that lay ahead. It has been quite the journey
with some rather tight work demands/deadlines, health issues,
picking suitable music, picking a name (that seem to take
longer than picking music), and of course the biggest and
most important decision of all …. “what are
we going to wear?”. We have enjoyed the journey with
the laughs and giggles, ringing a chord or two, and the
fellowship that barbershop provides.
