Stormfront – International Champions
Stormfront is a quartet that won our international contest in 2010. They are known for their hilarious physical and musical comedy, including many parodies. We’re proud to consider these men a part of our chapter as Jeff has been a singing member and Jim has been our longtime director. Darin and Syd aren’t strangers either, with Darin directing multiple groups in Colorado over the years, including Velvet Hills Sweet Adelines Chorus, whose rehearsal space we share. Darin is also a favorite coach of ATB!
Velcro – Currently Inactive
Four members of the chapter got together one night to sing some songs and decided to stick together—thus “Velcro” was formed. Twelve years later Velcro is still belting out the songs and having the time of their lives. They have performed in a variety of venues over the years and have enjoyed every minute of it. Of course, they perform on chapter shows and participate in Rocky Mountain District competitions. But, they have also sung at ice cream socials, retirement and anniversary parties and even walked the streets of downtown Colorado Springs during the holidays singing Christmas carols. They simply love to sing together and take every opportunity to do so.
The quartet was comprised of Tim Simmons, baritone; Gary Hickenlooper, bass; Lee Jolly, lead; and, Mark Hoffman, tenor. Here they are following their award winning performance at the 2019 Rocky Mountain District Championship.
Since their successful contest effort in 2019, Velcro has had a change in personnel. Mark Hoffman left the group and has been replaced by John Becker as tenor. John also sings with the America the Beautiful Chorus and here is the most recently constituted group entertaining at the Senior Center in Colorado Springs in February 2022:
