Crosstown Harmony welcomed special guest coaches Karen Sweeters and her sister Gina Kaiser to share their knowledge and skills in barbershop during our semi-annual weekend retreat.

With over 35 years in Sweet Adelines International, Karen has gone from singing "on the risers" to directing Harmony on the Sound, 15 time North Atlantic Region 1 Champions, located in Trumball, Conneticut. She's also a Certified Judge in the Expression Category and has escalated to the top level of Sweet Adelines musicianship as a Master Director.

Gina Kaiser is a Visual Specialist, Choreographer and Showmanship Judge extraordinaire. She has taught visual performance and choreography all over the world for more than 25 years. Her experience in performance and instruction create a fun and effective instructor. Together these two lead us in a weekend of learning and fun.

When we weren't rehearsing we were celebrating the birthday of our member MJ, playing games in the first ever Crosstown Olympics and building relationships all along the way. It's great to be in Crosstown!
