Baudboys are an all-male a cappella group composed entirely of Microsoft employees. Risking the wrath of fellow employees by rehearsing in on-campus conference rooms, The Baudboys sing a variety of popular and original music. As a group, the Baudboys boast a wealth of musical training and performing experience. All sang with other groups before joining The Baudboys, and several founded or directed previous ensembles. The Baudboys have performed to audiences in a variety of venues, from nursing homes and schools to major festivals and sporting events. Members: Jon Schwartz, Graham Sheldon, Owen Braun, Elliot Lewis, Mark Adolph, Dave McEwen, Paul Eng, Leonard Chung

Bella is three women who sing every kind of music under the sun-a cappella, of course. Their voices and their musical influences are equally diverse, and their repertoire includes gospel, folk, pop, jazz, 1920s dancehall numbers, and original works. They consider their arrangements to be some of their strongest assets. Bella takes advantage of their different vocal qualities by trading and interweaving parts, striving for harmonies that are surprising and exhilarating. They are all solo performers as well as members of Bella, have known each other for years, and had their first concert as a group in October 2004. Members: Emily Groff, Susan Welch and Georgia Browne

Detour is made of four women who have sung for years with Green Heart Chorus, a local chapter of Sweet Adelines International in Abbotsford, BC. After a few years of good intentions and excellent excuses, their love of music and fun finally brought them together two years ago to form a quartet. Now they sing to anyone who will listen, and have been known to crash anniversary parties and birthday get-togethers. They even deliver singing telegrams for no particular reason. In May they will be competing at the Sweet Adeline Regional Convention in Regina, Saskatchewan. Members: Deb Young, Roxane Carlisle, Deb Williams, Karen Sinclaire

Double Deuce was formed in early 1998, and each of the members brought years of singing experience to the quartet. In the beginning they concentrated on barbershop, but as time went on, they incorporated contemporary harmonies from groups like the Four Freshman and the gospel sounds of the Gaither Quartet. Working exclusively a cappella, Double Deuce has entertained audiences throughout the Northwest and the lower mainland performing virtually everywhere from concert stage to small coffee houses to private homes. Rick Smith, Jerry Potter and Matt Yorkston are from Bellingham, and Dan Evans is from White Rock, BC. Members: Rick Smith, Dan Evans, Jerry Potter, Matt Yorkston

Four Real is a women's a cappella quartet from Abbotsford, British Columbia. They are also members of Green Heart Chorus, a chapter of Sweet Adelines International. Four Real started singing as a quartet in the Fall of 2004 and have developed a harmonious friendship over and above the music they make together. They have had a busy year with several local performances, from singing Christmas carols in the mall to private engagements. Four Real's biggest achievement to date was competing in their first regional competition last spring in Edmonton, Alberta and placing in the top ten. Four Real: Members: Cindy Rintoul, Erin Toews, Linda Dickinson, Leigh Fadden

Realtime has been together since March of 2003. Since then it's been a musical whirlwind of activity, with two recordings, hundreds of shows and a world championship under their belt. In 2005, Realtime became the International Quartet Champions of the Barbershop Harmony Society in Salt Lake City. Having reached the pinnacle of the barbershop contest world, they have sung in their last barbershop contest, and received their final score in the barbershop genre. They are participating in Harmony Sweepstakes to feed their need to compete. The members of Realtime have become world travelers in their time together and plan to do much more in the near future. Members: Tom Metzger, Mark Metzger, John Newell, Tim Broersma

Rezonate has a mission: to spread the love of singing modern day a cappella, and to help educate the youth of Oregon in the proper use and care of a cappella music. These paladins bravely sing R&B, Gospel, Pop, Soul, and Funk, boldly arranging and writing original songs. Our valorous companions met each other through the Oregon Children's Choir and have been singing together since 2004. Many of Rezonate's plucky singers have sung in top collegiate groups, and "the old one" sang a cappella swing years ago. They do not wear tights, but they are heroes, nonetheless. Members: Aaron Matthew, Chris Dobson, David Fertal, Tyson Biggerstaff, Jason Caffarella, Justin Diller

V-Chords is a high-energy sextet based in Portland, Oregon. Established as a four-man group in early 2006, the ensemble increased its membership to five several months later and began performing at parties, outdoor summer festivals, and weddings. Recently V-Chords added a sixth voice in order to expand their hamonic textures to the rich, full sound they bring you today. V-Chords takes pride in the wide breadth of their musical offering - from pop/rock to jazz to country to funk to doo-wop - and is very excited to perform in the 2007 NW Harmony Sweepstakes competition. Members: Jeremy Miller, Chris Moore, Bryan Podwys, Rick Pullen, Scott Townsend, Darin Wirth
