Not many quartets have been in existence for as many years as this one. In fact; this foursome isn’t even the original members! What started in 1973 by four amazing Oswego members Johnny DiDominic, Bobby Coad, “Old Dad” Elmer Hadlow, and George Hort was then called “The Latest News”. Those four gents started a grand tradition of singing well, entertaining audiences, competing when possible, and helping the Snowbelters grow. Through the years, singers have moved on, names have changed, but the mission remains the same.  Funny thing is; most barbershoppers get asked a funny question like ‘How many IN your quartet?’ THIS quartet STOPPED counting at four a long, long time ago!

Tenor: Tim Casler

Group Therapy is a quartet with a combined 120 years of quartet experience having sung in numerous quartets over the years.  Since all four enjoying learning new music and relish a challenge, they felt a mixed quartet would be therapeutic - hence their name.

Group Therapy is the 2019 Seneca Land District Mixed Quartet Champions.  Since they all believe that the hours spent singing do not count against one's life span, they are getting younger all the time.  Their biggest challenge is to learn all the songs they want to sing before they get too young!

Formed during the pandemic out of a simple Facebook post looking for people who “just wanted to ring some chords,” The Cracker Jacks have become a truly one-of-a-kind quartet. What started as three guys meeting in Central Pennsylvania quickly turned into an unbreakable friendship. We later expanded with the addition of Adam, whose East Coast roots but West Coast address makes this group an emcee’s worst nightmare, representing four districts and nearly a dozen chapters between them!

Now in their fourth year together, the Cracker Jacks have performed in numerous shows and contests across the Northeast, latest being a 15th-place finish at the 2024 Mid-Atlantic District Quartet Contest. Their time together may be unconventional, but their love of harmony (and each other’s company) shines every time they step on stage.
 

Tenor: Thomas Degan

Lead: Adam Kaufman

Vocal Impact is a quartet that sings in the barbershop style from Binghamton, New York and is a proud member of the Seneca Land District of the Barbershop Harmony Society.  Together since 2015, the quartet is very active in the Binghamton area singing on chapter shows, local plays (2017 Music Man), Singing Valentines, and a number of senior facilities.

Members include “Three Toms & a Dale”-Tenor Tom Depue, Lead Tom Volk, Baritone Tom Jones, and “not Tom” Bass Dale Ball.  Tenor Tom DePue is a 2nd generation Barbershopper with a father who has been singing for 55 years, and whose son Tommy is also a member.  Tom is a VP for Fahs Construction and lives at home with his wife and #1 quartet fan Diane.  Lead Tom Volk has been singing Barbershop since the early 80’s, and sang with chapter quartet Route 26.  Tom is retired and shares his home with his son Tommy (anyone notice a trend here??)  Baritone Tom Jones is a 36 year Barbershopper and has sung in quartets in 3 chapters. Tom is retired from Agway, and lives at home with his wife Patsy and Daisy Dog.  And lastly is our own “not Tom”-Dale Ball.  Dale is the new guy, and has been singing with our chorus for 6 years, but he has immersed himself in Barbershop and is having the time of his life!  Dale works as an accountant for SUNY-Broome and lives in Chenango Bridge with his wife Janice.  It might be important to note that between the 4 of them they have over 13 Grandchildren!!!  Guess we know what they’re doing when they are not singing! For those of you that thought the wrong thing, that would be babysitting.

They are available to sing for anyone and everyone, and still believe that singing is the most fun you can have standing up.

Kin and Tonic is a barbershop quartet from Binghamton, NY, formed just under two years ago. Despite their short time together, the quartet boasts a wealth of barbershopping experience among its members. The group features Pam Glosick Scott (Lead), singing alongside her father Tom Glosick (Baritone) — the inspiration for the quartet’s name. Rounding out the ensemble are Kandy Getty (Tenor) and John Rice (Bass).

Kin and Tonic are the 2024 Seneca Land District Mixed Quartet Champions, and in their most recent competition, they proudly earned the title of 2025 Seneca Land District Seniors Quartet Champions.
