Our Assistant Director - Kathie Eastman
Kathie has been very active in music all of her life and became a Sweet Adeline in 1980. As such, she has been a director, an assistant director, accompanist and a quartet member. Her first interest in barbershop music began in high school when she sang in a quartet. She has a bachelor's degree in education and a concentrated area of study in music. She is a pianist and especially loves playing jazz. Arranging music in the barbershop style is her newest venture. Kathie states that music is her passion, and is thrilled to share this passion with the lovely, talented ladies of Crosstown Harmony. Kathie is also a dual member with the 2009 International Championship Chorus, the Melodeers.
