The three quartets, all vibrant and talented singers have bright futures.
Several of these young women are graduates of the Gaither HIgh's music program and studied with the incomparable Debbie Cleveland. The proud teacher and champion Sweet Adeline in her own right was on hand to support these groups.
We have a vibrant youth membership and several active quartets with many of their members also active in a chorus.
