Q4 is (l-r): Karen Carter, Anita Barzilla, Laurajean Welch, and Randa Zaitz

Meet Q4!

Q4 is the joining of four happy people...some of whom have waited a while for this opportunity and one of whom just left a long-time successful quartet! We are members of the Pacific Sound Chorus and are Karen Carter, tenor; Laurajean Welch, lead; Randa Zaitz, baritone; and Anita Barzilla, bass.

Some "Q to the fourth power" figures...

• Total years of barbershop experience: 114

• Total number of Regional quartet medals: 6 first place; 8 second place; 3 third place, 2 fourth place and 2 fifth place

• Total number of quartets we've been in: a bunch

• Total number of quartet costumes and black shoes we own: unfathomable!

With all this experience, it's no wonder Q4 started with a bang! Before we had sung a note together, we registered our name, registered for competition, purchased a competition gown, designed a logo, accepted a performance on the Jet Cities Show , and set two chorus audition dates. We are definitely not letting any grass grow under our feet. 

Q4 now owns Regional bling!

At our first contest, held April 21, 2006 in Spokane, WA, Q4 was thrilled to be named the 4th Place Region 13 Quartet medalists. Fourth place...seems rather prophetic, yes? We look forward to a year of making beautiful music together.
