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, playing games and building relationships all along the way. It's great to be in Crosstown!
