Competing in the Seneca Land District (SLD) of the Barbershop Harmony Society, Evan (tenor), Brian (lead), Don (baritone), and Joel (bass) came together in July 2014 as All In, and quickly won the Seneca Land Novice contest that fall.

Vocal Impact.jpg

Vocal Impact

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.

Contest%202019%20G_edited.jpg

Group Therapy

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!

Kandy Getty (Tenor)

Jerry Schmidt (Baritone)

Linda Laraway (Lead)

Jim Holder (Bass)
