Born and raised in Kincardine, NB, migrated around the Province and has been a permanent resident of Douglas, just outside of Fredericton, for the past 29 years. Growing up she sang in church and school choirs, sang solo at weddings and concerts. Joined the Echoes and started singing Lead and switched to Tenor quite early on. Muriel is married to Gerry Sanford, retired RCMP Staff Sargeant, has two married daughters and four beautiful grandchildren. Enjoys life and stays actively young and motivated working as a Legal Assistant, walking, singing barbershop music, spending time with family and friends, reading and shopping!

Deborah:
Lead of Classi-Gal Music has been a member of Harmony for approximately 10 years. Raised in NFLD, migrated to NB by attending Atlantic Baptist University in Moncton, NB - met her husband, Kevin who was also a member of the RCMP, they traveled across Canada and retired in Hartland, NB and now live in Fredericton. She and Kevin raised 4 children, and became grandparents shortly after this year‘s (09) AC&C. Deborah joined the Elm City Echoes and drove from Hartland to Fredericton and return each Monday night for 6 or 7 years. She loves barbershop singing and barbershop bling and will travel any distance to participate in this great hobby. What a dedicated member she is!!

Dawna:
Bass of Classi-Gal Music has been a member of Harmony for approximately 15 years. Born and raised in Fredericton, is married to Wayne and they have raised three children and have six wonderful grandchildren, all boys! Dawna joined the Echoes and immediately is was apparent that she could sing lead, baritone, bass or tenor if necessary. Bass has been her forte while singing with Classi-Gal Music. Dawna worked for York Steel in their office for many years, retired and spent time with her grandchildren then took up part-time work in a jewelry store. She loves her cottage at Maquapit Lake and spends most of the summer there with her family and friends.

Christine:
Baritone of Classi-Gal Music has been a member of Harmony for 27 - 28 years and has been the Director of the Elm City Echoes for the past 25 years. Chris was born in Sussex, NB and traveled around the country with her Mum and her Dad, who was also a member of the RCMP (maybe we have something going here). She spent her high school years in Fredericton, NB where she met Brian, the love of her life. They have two great girls, Karen and Vickie who have both done very well in their chosen careers Chris is very musically talented, she teaches piano and theory to adults and children throughout the school year. She is the area representative and supervisor for the Royal Conservatory Music examinations, sings in her church choir and has directed the hand-bell choir at her church. We are so fortunate to have her as our baritone, and it was her “very favorite” part until she decided to try the bass line and now sings bass with The Meadow Larks quartet. We know she can sing Lead and Tenor as well so watch out for her in the future! Chris takes a much deserved summer retreat to her cottage on the North Shore resting up for the busy year ahead.
