Unita Barbershop
Doug Stone, Jim Gallagher, Jan Vanderhooft, Lee Taylor
Are you inta barbershop ? Well, they’re into barbershop. They have been together as a quartet for a little over seven years and if you combine the number of years that these four have been singing barbershop it comes out to about 90 years! Both the baritone, Lee Taylor, and the bass, Jim Gallagher, have each been "inta" barbershop for around 35 years. All four have been members of the Beehive Statesmen Chorus for most of their time singing together, and the quartet is a registered member of the Barbershop Harmony Society. Uinta Barbershop has competed nine times in the past seven years in the Rocky Mountain District of the Barbershop Harmony Society. In those contests, they finished in the top ten once, and took 11th place an unprecedented five times!

All-A-Chord
Quinton Peck, Nick Pond, Brian Ricks, Spencer Peck
ALL-A-CHORD has been together as an official Barbershop Quartet since February 2008, and competed as a Novice Quartet at the Rocky Mountain District's Fall 2008 Convention, held in Colorado Springs, CO at the end of September. Although they did not place in the Top Three, they did very well for their first time on stage. They have been singing together for quite a while prior to officially registering with the Barbershop Harmony Society, because they are definitely Family & Friends, and all from Tooele County, Utah.
Quin (or Quinton) Peck is the youngest and he sings Tenor, and his father, Spencer Peck sings Baritone. They both live in Tooele. Quin's grandfather, Nick Pond lives in Stansbury Park, and is their Lead singer. Their good friend Brian Ricks, lives in Stansbury Park and sings Bass.
"Let us bust a chord or two, and then you'll know it's true, that a song makes things go right."

Harmony Hi-Jinks Quartet

The Harmony Hi-Jinks is a men’s quartet that sings the Barbershop style of close harmony. They also sing songs from other music styles. They have had frequent requests for more information about the individual members and the activities of the group.The quartet began in 1974 when four former quartet members got together. A short time later they heard of a comedy quartet contest in Oceanside, California. They went and won first place. The quartet has entertained thousands of people ever since. They are dedicated to producing wholesome harmony and comedy routines, to enable their listeners to relax and forget their troubles.

One More Time
One More Time's motto is, "if things improve with age, our quartet must be approaching magnificent!" They have a collective chronological age of 266 years. They've accumulated a collective 150 years of membership in the Barbershop Harmony Society and almost that much in the Salt Lake Beehive Statesmen Chapter. Two members of the group have sung together in an organized quartet for thirty-six years. Counting experience with other quartets, they collectively have 100 years experience singing in organized quartets. During their quartet experiences, they boast two international gold medals, two District champion pins, and one International Seniors Quartet gold medal, which they won in 1992 in Long Beach, California. Ron Rumell passed away in 2005, and Jimmy Wheeler passed away in 2006. They are now singing in the CHAPTER ETERNAL.
