Love Notes has been singing together as a quartet since they were 11 and 12 years old. They quickly rose through the Sweet Adeline competition ranks, participating in the Young Women in Harmony program until in 2009 they became Regional Champrions for Region 12. They then began competing at the International level.
Love Notes has also consistently competed in the larger a cappella community. They won 1st place and Best Original Arrangment at the 2009 Regional Harmony Sweepstakes. Then they went on to the Nationals where they placed 2nd and Audience Favorite. They had a good run on America's Got Talent TV show, making it through three rounds.
In 2013 they saw their dreams realized when they were crowned the 2014 Queens of Harmony for Sweet Adelines International. They continue to be active in Region 12 and International events, teaching, traveling for workshops, and performing. Love Notes just returned from a tour of Australia and Japan. They have produced several recordings as well.
They share their top level skills with our campers, through performance, directing section work, and teaching, getting up close and personal in classes.
