CHAPTER QUARTETS

One of the activities that Barbershoppers love to do most is to sing in a quartet!  This allows four people to sing together, with each person taking one of the 4 harmony parts (tenor, lead, baritone, and bass).  

​

In order to account for the wide variety of vocal ranges, there are typically three types of quartets:

• Bass quartets for the lower voices

• Mixed quartets for those quartets with both low and high range singers

• Treble quartets for higher voices.

Mixed Messages Barbershop Quartet

Tenor:  Alina Bogovic

Lead: John Reece

Baritone:  Paula Reece

Bass:  Todd Minners

Mixed Messages is a mixed quartet and we started singing together in February 2020, right before the pandemic hit. Some of our members are fairly new to barbershop harmony while others have been singing most of their lives.  We can not wait until we can regularly sing with the rest of our friends in The Arlingtones!
