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.

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.

We had the privilege of singing the National Anthem at the Lake Chinooks final baseball game of the season on Saturday, August 12.

We hope we made it a memorable experience for all who attended.
