NEWS ALERT! March 25, 2011, Overland Park,
KS Convention Center. Midwest Plains Region 7 Sweet Adelines quartet competition.
Intensity quartet - contestant number 7. First competition for them and they garnered 7th place in a field
of 20 other quartets!
Appears the number 7 may be their lucky number this year.
While having a passionate and serious attitude makes one intense – the ladies of INTENSITY quartet bring
not only a serious quality barbershop sound but also some INTENSE fun! Having recently auditioned for Emerald
City Chorus, they represent Sweet Adelines International entertaining audiences with their smooth 4-part a cappella style.
INTENSITY Lead, LISA MURRY is an Assistant Director and section specialist
for Emerald City Chorus. She also serves as a member of the education faculty of Region 7 Sweet Adelines
International. During the day she is a customer service representative for an income tax software provider
but music is her passion. She shares this passion with her jazz musician husband Ray and her two football star sons, Ray and
Tyler. She enjoys shopping, traveling, and scrap-booking.
The
smooth Bass of INTENSITY is CINDY DUGGAN. Cindy serves on the music staff of Emerald City Chorus.
Having been in Sweet Adelines since 1991 when her mother enticed her to join the “Coronado Country Chorus”
in Lyons with her, Cindy would much rather sing than shop. She worked for the Lyons Salt Company for twenty-eight years, eighteen
of them underground as a drill operator. Cindy re-married in 2006 and moved to Andover. Her husband Wayne volunteers with
the chorus as Santa for the Christmas season and is a Sweet Adeline groupie. Between them they have four children, Bill, Kara,
Joshua and Chris, and seven grandchildren. As she learns to be a housewife and explore her hobbies, she has found her favorite
so far is demolition and no home remodeling project has stopped her yet!
TRACY
WINGATE, our INTENSITY Baritone is a relative newcomer to barbershop, having joined Sweet Adelines just 5 years
ago. But harmony is in her genes, as her father sang for most of his life in one barbershop quartet or
another. Tracy spent many years as a corporate trainer in the Washington DC area, but moved to Wichita
3 years ago. She now keeps very busy taking care of her three small boys, her husband, and her German shepherd.
When she is not singing, chasing her children or cleaning, you can usually find Tracy at the gym or settling down with
a cup of tea and a good book. Tracy also serves as Choreography team manager for the Emerald City Chorus.
INTENSITY Tenor, JENNIFER ZOELLNER, has been around barbershop her entire life. Her father (lead),
mother (baritone), grandfather (tenor), and grandmother (bass) were in a mixed quartet, and she would listen to them
practice every Sunday. She was involved in show choir throughout high school and college. She finally got around
to joining Sweet Adelines in 2002 and never looked back. She is the proud wife of an Air Force pilot and mother of Andrew,
Alexander and Labrador Retriever Zelda. She loves to collect craft materials but very rarely has time to complete a
project.
For your next special occasion, have some INTENSE FUN and let the ladies of INTENSITY quartet show
you how it’s done!
