HBHS Barbershop Quartet to Nationals

The Waikato Young Men in Harmony Regional Barbershop Competition was held last Monday.  It was won by the Hamilton Boys' High School Barbershop Quartet 'Four Reelz' which consists this year of Bass; Kent Russell, Baritone; Romana Graham, Tenor; Peni Fotu and Lead; Takiri Southon.

Each quartet had to sing two songs and communicate their themes to the audience.  Four Reelz' winning repertoire featured 'Son of the Sea' and 'Coney Island Baby', two time-honoured standards of the genre.  These performances were judged on their the quality of the singing, presentation and musicality.

The quartet will now prepare for the National competition in Wellington in August.
