Past Quartets

iCappella 2009-2011

Formed as a long distance quartet in 2009, iCappella was thrilled to come a close second in the national contest in Mandurah 2010 at their second convention. On top of that, as the winners were unavailable, the opportunity to compete on the International stage in Seattle, USA was passed to them – all of Australia was proud to see them perform via the live webcast.

In Newcastle, May 2011,  iCappella achieved their goal – to win the coveted gold medal in first place at the Sweet Adelines Regional Convention.  Sadly, the quartet chose to disband a few months later.

Fling! 2010-2011

Fling! came together just for fun in 2010 and were made up of a mother/daughter-in-law pair and sisters.  They liked to sing all kinds of things, and swap parts whenever it suited!  After a successful debut at national contest in Newcastle in 2011 Amie (tenor) moved back to Central Coast, NSW so the quartet became too far flung to continue.

Frisson 2009-2010

In the early part of 2009 our bass, Viviane, said something in French and one of the words was ‘frisson’. When asked what it meant, she said goosebumps – that singing gave her goosebumps. On that day our quartet was named ‘Frisson’ .

Sloane (tenor), Carolyn (lead), Annette (baritone) and Viviane (bass) had a wonderful time together, forming good friendships as well as learning the artform of barbershop singing, together in a quartet. The journey to regional contest in May 2010 was fun and hard work – but ‘Frisson’s’ debut on the competition stage was an experience they will always treasure and especially one not forgotten by 3 of the quartet who were all novices.

Viviane and Carolyn have both moved on, but this will be one wonderful time of their lives the four ladies will never forget!

No Strings Attached 2009-2010

What a journey we have been on! Jacqui Sebbage (Bari and “unofficial” Leader of the gang) approached Sandra Nair (Bass) and a few others to start a quartet way back in 2009. We were on our merry way with Kaitlin Sebbage (Tenor) and Leonie Bovell (Lead) and never looked back as our journey to date has been fun, fun, fun and we have also learned a lot along the way.

Our first big challenge was singing in the National Competition in Mandurah on Friday, 21st May 2010 there was a lot of sweat (no tears, we replaced that with laughter), coaching and rehearsals in April and May and suddenly we were on stage!! It was an unforgettable experience for all 4 of us and we sang the best we had ever sung in public before – so we really could not ask for more than that!

We broke all Sweet Adeline records (not official yet) by choosing our competition outfit in less than an hour’s time! 4 of us ‘really’ do think alike and most importantly love our time together as we laugh and talk and share our lives – oh yes, we do sing a little bit as well!!
