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!

On Another Note is a treble quartet which formed in February of 2021. We have not had the opportunity to sing together in person yet, but have made the most of the situation through the use of video and audio recordings for now, and we also look forwards to getting back to singing with all of our Arlingtones friends!
Please enjoy the first song we ever sang together for Valentine's Day!
