Rebecca Richards
Girls’ Clinician

5-time Region 8 Champion
Musical Director, High Country

Rebecca Richards has been a member of Sweet Adeline International since 1991, but says she really started at the age of four singing baritone to all of her mother’s quartet songs. From singing in the church choir as a child to singing with numerous choirs in school as a teenager to harmonizing at home with her kids as an adult, being a part of a vocal music ensemble has always been an integral part of her life. Rebecca is a member of the five-time Region 8 Championship Quartet, Ruby Blue, and has been the proud director of High Country Chorus since  2014. When she’s not singing, she’s keeping up with her three very busy sons Nicholas, Tyler and Zachary.

2010 International Champions

The comedy quartet Storm Front created plenty of thunderous applause and light-hearted laughter as they won the coveted Gold Medal at the Barbershop Harmony Society’s 2010 International quartet contest Saturday evening at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The competition was fierce and the energy high among the 51 quartets participating in the Society’s 72nd Annual International Convention.
Storm Front’s members are baritone Darin Drown, bass Syd Libsack, lead Jim Clark, and tenor Jeff Selano.
