Sweet Adelines Region 1 is proud to have the following quartets affiliated with our chapters.
High Spirits Quartet was formed in the fall of 2023. Elaine, Lynda and Patti had wanted to sing in a quartet together for a long time, and finally we were all available. All three of us have sung in multiple quartets, and we have each been singing Barbershop for over 25 years. In Lynda's case, since she was a teenager. When Christina joined Harmony on the Sound Chorus, we knew we had found our baritone! Although she had never sung a cappella, she is a talented singer who was able to fit right into the ensemble. We are very excited to see where this adventure takes us!
Northern Sirens Quartet is a spirited group of young mothers from New York, Massachusetts, Russia, and New Hampshire with a combined 15 years of barbershop experience. They have passion for harmony and enjoy putting a modern twist on their repertoire.

Honey Bunches of Notes
Representing Harmony on the Sound Chorus
Southwestern CT, Connecticut
Honey Bunches of Notes have been singing together since 2012 under different names (and member combinations). We finally settled on Bunches in 2016 and never looked back. We love singing a variety of songs from barbershop standards to more contemporary acapella arrangements. Bunches enjoys performing in various venues as well as competing in SAI regional competitions. We were excited to receive the Novice Quartet award in 2017 and place 5th in the 2023 SAI regional competition.
Bunches also loves sharing our passion for the barbershop craft with the next generation of singers, and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the SAI Young Women in Harmony chorus in January of 2023. We are all proud members of our home SAI chorus, Harmony on the Sound (HOTS) from Trumbull, Connecticut, and Vocal Rewind, a small acapella group composed of HOTS singers.
