A quartet that understands the new Visual Communication category.

I loved them and their sound.

I missed seeing the finals in 2022. Good grief I just watched your First Class performance and it blew me away. If you all don't become Queens of Harmony someday soon something ain't right!!! This set was outstanding. You are FIRST CLASS because you give it your all with such stage presence AND entertaining harmony! YOU GO FIRST CLASS. YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO RISE AND SHINE WITH CROWNS. HUGS 'N HARMONY, HELEN & DICK❤😂🎉😮😅😊❤

Their singing was strong and organized. I thot it very much like a Disney backing track. Good enough to be scarey!, esp. the bass. 10th place is ridiculous!! Were they TOO confident and assured? Lookin' too good? Too well prepared? Excellent inspirational message. I'd say "shame on the judges", but for all the talent there, not sure I could do much better. Guarantee I'd put First Class higher than TENTH!!! From the applause, I'd say they got "The People's Choice"!!

Fantastic rhythm!

[@caytomerlin4710]

Wow-wow-wow-so great...maybe not old barbershop but Harmony and entertaining! Sorry to hear that they were 10th.

New judges needed!!!!!! They should be ashamed to put this quartet in 10th place. Decision is wrong and should be retracted to give an accurate placement for First Class. Reconsider or get off the judge’s panel!

[@DickHelenShores]

I have to agree with the last comment regarding not enough bbshp chords ringing those overtones. This was a "performance pkg" I assume. To arrive in the top 10, I also assume the judges already had heard great chord ringing. First Class can entertain and sing the bejeezers out of an equally set of modern arrangements also. I wish you the best in KC Intl. ahead this fall. We'll be there cheering you onward and upward. YOU GO GIRLS!! ❤😂🎉😅😊😊

The arrangements while fun didn’t allow for enough ringing of chords to be showcased I think. That’s what I think was the challenge. Several times the chords just weren’t locked. But they’re fun.

They'd have placed higher with more BARBERSHOP songs. S.A. is straying too far away...
