Janet Kushmerek Quotations

If someone has the slightest interest in joining our group, no matter how inexperienced, she should really come and try us out. You don't have to know how to read music, or even be a great singer; we'll teach you.

We sing in bass, baritone, tenor and lead. Our music is written for those four parts; no alto, no soprano, just pure 1920s barbershop harmony.

We sing a variety of songs many people already know, songs like 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight,' 'Carolina in the Morning,' 'Get Happy' and many more, all written and adapted to our style of singing.

Florida has the 2004 international championship quartet; they are called, 'The Buzz,' so this region really does very well in competition.

This is our third year with the Valentine's program. We'll go to homes, restaurants, hospitals, offices, anywhere basically.

Challenges depend on the individual. Some have a problem with memorization, but I think the hardest part is getting it all together and all synchronized with pronunciation and breathing.
