In the summer of 2007, we met at Trish's house to sing some songs and see if we "clicked." Well, we did! Our rehearsals are full of fun, laughter, and one-liners that leave us gasping for air. Fortunately, we also learn a lot of music and enjoy any opportunity to sing together.

Carole joined Sweet Adelines in 1977 (she was just a toddler), and was a member of the Lincolnaires Chorus of Lincoln, Nebraska from 1977 until August of 2001. While in Nebraska, she also sang in a medal-winning quartet for over 15 years. Carole moved to Virginia in 2001, and is currently the assistant director with the Vienna-Falls Chorus.

Trish wants everyone to know that, as a Pittsburgh fan, she bleeds Black and Gold. She has been singing barbershop since 1999, and her earliest recollection of vocalizing musically dates back to playing Anne Murray 45s on her pink record player and pretending that a magic marker was her microphone. That active imagination serves her well during performances with the chorus and the quartet!

Su found barbershop completely by accident in 2001, and now can't imagine life without it. She has sung in two other choruses and competed with the Greater Harrisburg Chorus on the International contest stage in 2006, placing 17th. She has also sung in two other quartets, but notes that the 'laugh level' of Unchained Harmony far exceeds anything else she's ever experienced! And, as an ardent Browns fan, she and Trish agree to disagree two Sundays a year…

As the youngest member of the quartet, and the one newest to barbershop, Mary Margaret shows her musical skills every time she is on stage. Although she has only been singing barbershop since 2006, she trained as an opera singer while in college and has been playing piano since the age of 8. Her powerful and pure voice is a sheer joy to hear!
