Quartet Pics
And now the quartets. It seems that the same quartets end up near the top in recent years. Just like the choruses, winning quartets get to compete internationally. Winners retire as the "Queens of Harmony".

There were a couple of other mentionables to note. One was a little girl who performed with the family chorus...where family members take the stage to sing together. Boy they start 'em young! Also, Jim and Marcia Massey (Director and Assistant Director for OK City) celebrated 50 years together. You young newlyweds, take note!
