My quartet, Unusual Suspects, competed in the fall competition of the Barbershop Harmony Society. We are part of the SenecaLand District, so we had to go to Rochester. We did well. We are a novice quartet (at least 2 members of the quartet have never competed). There were 23 competing quartets from the area and four of them were novice quartets. We won the novice category and came in 15th of 23 overall. We were pretty happy with that. Our Tenor (left) is Tim Casler, our Lead (center back) is Dave Hubalek, our Baritone (center front) is Barney Johnson, and I am the bass.

What is the difference between a baritone and a bass?
About an octave. From top to bottom, a quartet consists of: a Tenor (very high and lots of falsetto), a Lead (usually the melody), a Baritone (below-Lead harmony), and a Bass (the tuba of the quartet and usually the best looking). I can sing any of the 4 parts, but I enjoy the Bass part the most. Very few men can sing the bass part, also, so since I can sing it, that is where I'm needed. There is a DVD being made of the competition, so if it looks and sounds OK, I'll send you a copy.
