This
quartet holds the
record for having
competed internationally
more times than
any other prior
to winning - eight!
Committed to growth
and exellence, with
hundreds of hours
spent honing their
craft and rearranging
their music, the
group qualified
for international
competition every
year beginning in
1986, and made it
to the top 20 every
year but one.
All
four are members
of three-time international
champion Ramapa
Valley Chorus (Upper
Saddle River, New
Jersey), and all
joined Sweet Adelines
in the early 1970s.
When Jeannie's longtime
friend introduced
her to Sweet Adelines
in 1972, Jeannie
was already married
with two babies
and was busy performing
as a solo singer
in New York-area
clubs. She wasn't
counting on being
involved with Sweet
Adelines for very
long, but stayed
long enought to
become hooked on
barbershop.
Sharon
has been a chorus
director and is
a music arranger
and Sweet Adelines
contest judge. An
elementary and junior-high
music teacher, Sharon
received the Music
Educators National
Conference (MENC)/Sweet
Adelines Music Educator
Award in 1993, in
recognition of outstanding
contributions to
music in the public
schools.
Jo
is actively involved
as a certified music
arranger and contest
judge, an associate
chorus director
and section leader.
She sang with several
other quartets before
forming City Lights.
Nancy
was "discovered"
singing lead in
a makeshift barbershop
quartet by a Sweet
Adeline in the audience
of a high-school
talent contest.
All four young women
in that quartet
joined Sweet Adelines
in 1973. Nancy is
a section leader
and front-row dancer
with Ramapo Valley
Chorus.
