glad to be here
tell us about Star City sounds chorus
well you summed it up very well I must
say Star City sounds has been around
since 2006 all-female a cappella chorus
which means we don't need a piano or any
kind of accompaniment for part harmony
okay and how did it all get started
Joyce Belliveau who's actually here
today in this quartet founded this
chorus in 2006 and it's based on an old
tradition of barbershop harmony that has
been around for many many many many
decades
how long have you all been a part of the
choir I've been part of it for about
four years okay I've been around for ten
years ten years yeah typically you you
hear of a barbershop quartet it's
primarily male yes so this is kind of a
neat twist on it it is in fact this
began the Sweet Adelines a lot of people
have heard of them they started an
organization back in the 40s I guess it
was 40s or 50s to kind of emulate what
the guys have been doing because girls
can do that too yes and where do you all
