~Class Act~ (L-R ) Sylvia Easterling (Bass), Pam Knighten (T), Jane Briggs (L), Wendy Bell (Bari) In the summer of 2014, four teachers decided to combine voices to see if they had a blend that might be quartet-worthy. They did, it was, and the result is Class Act.
If we combine our years in education, we have put in over 75 and covered Grades K-college. Although our professional experiences are very different, musically we are all on the same page in our love for creating barbershop-style harmony. In this foursome, all are always on time, each is the perfect student, no one has to be "sent to the office" for misbehaving, and everyone gets an A. We are, indeed--a Class Act.
Song O' Sky career as a Lead but has now switched to Tenor, the part which she considers "the perfect fit." She and husband, Mike, live in Fletcher. "No more pencils no more books; no more teachers' dirty looks."
Just kidding--of course. When we sing together there is harmony in our musical classroom.
