The Belle-Tones
The Belle-Tones, now known as "Forever Four" is a girls' quartet from Round Valley High School in Eagar, Arizona. The Belle-Tones got together under the direction Mr. Byron Bolen, who is the director of the nationally recognized "Ambassadors" Show Choir. The girls in the show
Choir audition each year for a possible chance at being selected as a member of the girls' quartet. Jodi Bingham (Tenor), Ashlee Martin (Lead) and Lindsey Haws (Bass), are the original members from 2002 with Kyra Wilkins (Baritone) being added in the fall of 2003.
The Belle-Tones have achieved a strong regional reputation in the state of Arizona and have begun to be a popular request for shows and community events and have even been the opening act for Jericho Road, a contemporary Christian quartet. The Belle-Tones will be traveling to South Carolina to compete in the Rising Star competition sponsored by the Sweet Adelines, International organization. They are expected to perform very well.
Keep your eyes and ears open for this group because these beautiful young ladies are only sixteen years old and will be around another two years.
McKenzie Touring Company
The McKenzie Touring Company was born (some say hatched) on December 31, 1980. The zany and entertaining antics of this comedy quartet have left audiences laughing in ten states from Alaska to Kansas and in numerous provinces in Canada. Clean side splitting humor is their trademark and they have also fared well in competitions placing first in Division IV of the Evergreen District in 1990 and 2001, and capturing the 1st place Gold Medal in the 
Buckeye Invitational Comedy Quartet Contest in Columbus, Ohio in 1995. In 1988 this group "wowed" audiences as the Barbershop quartet in "The Music Man" performing for over 30,000 patrons during the run of the show in Eugene, Oregon.
The quartet has seen several personnel changes since being "born". The most recent changes include lead, Bob Martindale, and bass, Rae Seely. This current group attended "Harmony College" in St. Joseph, Missouri in 2003 and was honored to perform their famous nuclear power disaster package as part of the big Saturday night show. Attendees at this show included barbershoppers from all over the United States, from England, and from Australia.
Bob Martindale is the Lead, Dale Fish is the Baritone, Rae Seely is the Bass and Gary Raze is the Tenor and Master of Comedy.
