🎶 Meet Classic Touch! 🎶

The name Classic Touch has been part of the barbershop world since 1973—and this year, a new configuration is carrying that harmony into SENEcon 2026!

Meet the current lineup:

🎩 Tim Casler – Tenor
🎩 Bryan Newton – Lead
🎩 Barney Johnson – Baritone
🎩 Jim Guyle – Bass

This new chapter would not be complete without recognizing Roger, who stood on the SENEcon stage with Classic Touch in 2025. Roger has since passed the torch, but his friendship, musicianship, and contributions to the quartet remain an important part of the Classic Touch story.

Changing a voice in a quartet is about much more than rearranging four names. Roger helped shape the sound, spirit, and memories that this new configuration now has the privilege of carrying forward. We’re grateful for the music he shared with us and for the foundation he helped leave behind.

Now, Tim, Bryan, Barney, and Jim are excited to take the stage together in Elmira, share this next chapter with the district, and enjoy everything convention weekend has to offer.

Classic name. New configuration. A legacy of harmony that continues.

🍸 Serving Up Some Kin & Tonic at SENEcon! 🎶

Representing the Binghamton Chapter, Kin & Tonic has been blending family, friendship, and four-part harmony for three years.

The quartet features Kandy Getty on tenor, Pam Glosick Scott on lead, Tom Glosick on baritone, and John Rice on bass. And their name is more than a clever play on words: Pam and Tom are daughter and father, proving that great harmony really can run in the family!

In their relatively short time together (3 years), Kin & Tonic has already assembled an impressive résumé, earning the title of 2024 Seneca Land District Mixed Quartet Champions followed by the 2025 Seneca Land District Seniors Quartet Championship.

They’re looking forward to returning to the convention stage this weekend, sharing their music, and enjoying another SENEcon with friends from across the district.

Give a warm Seneca Land welcome to Kin & Tonic! We’ll see them tonight as contestant #16!

Why did the sound effect go to therapy?
It had too many re-percussions. 🥁

Sound Effect, consisting of Rusty Gonzalez(Tenor), Gary Johnson(Lead), Blake Houghton(Baritone), and Dave Cloyd(Bass), is a fairly new quartet started the beginning of this year. As a newer quartet in the Mark Twain chapter, they’ve been working hard to find their sound and get to know their voices together.

They’d like to thank Tony Nasto, who has been coaching them and giving them direction to improve their singing and their performance!

They’re very excited to debut themselves for the district and look forward to ringing chords for you-and with you-this weekend!

Meet Who Knew?
Who Knew? is a mixed barbershop quartet celebrating the magic of harmony, friendship, and fun! Their blend of voices and personalities creates a sound and spirit that truly sings.
Kim Kiekel – Lead
�Tom DePue – Tenor
�Dale Ball – Bass
�Stephen Foulk – Baritone

This quartet has been singing together for a little over a year, bringing a delightful mixture of warmth, wit, and wonderful harmony to every performance. Although none of them actually chose the name Who Knew? who knew barbershop could sound this good?
They love singing together and, honestly, they may have more fun singing than they should! They’re excited to share their music at Senacon this weekend and hope you enjoy their sound as much as they enjoy making it.

Seneca Land here with your wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man traffic report. Anyone coming in to the contest from the Binghamton area we have been informed that exit 56 off I-86 was closed! Sources are not sure if it still will be closed tomorrow, but the detour added 20+ mins to arrival time once it was found. Please find an alternate route.

Four voices. One sound. A little magic. Meet Alchemy.✨

Cory Stiehl (tenor), Sarah Casper (lead), Cath Sessler (baritone), and Debra Luna (bass) believe that the best music happens when ringing harmonies, a little magic, and a whole lot of fun come together.

They’re still a relatively new quartet, having just formed in the spring of 2025, but apparently, the chemistry is working. Their very first Area 3 competition earned them a spot at the Harmony, Inc. IC&C international competition in Louisville this November!

They are thrilled to be taking the stage at SLD for the first time this weekend and will be cheering on their fellow Harmony, Inc. Area 3 sisters: Roulette, Vivàce, and fellow Rochester Rhapsody quartet Plot Twist as well as Family Recipe (featuring their very own lead Sarah), the Chorus of the Genesee, Kircher Park Four, Zing, and the Grayhounds.

They wish everyone a magical weekend of music ahead and invite you to track them down to sing some tags!

Meet Full Circle from the Mohawk Valley!
These 4 guys have been singing together for 20 years! Longer than some marriages! Mike McLoughlin is the tenor, Don Drake, the lead, and the Feldman brothers, Steve and Bob, the bass and baritone. After twenty years they are more than just a quartet--they are like family.

Full Circle is a crowd favorite in the Utica area, often requested to perform the National Anthem for Utica University hockey, UCFC soccer, and Utica Comets games....and, yes, they do sing the Canadian anthem, too!"
