The Timely Gents (Inactive)

The Timely Gents was formed in November of 2009 to become a competing quartet. The original members were all hooked on barbershop thanks to the Sound Policy Quartet (see above!). Over the years, the quartet saw much success and a few personnel changes as well. Over their three year tenure, they achieved the following:

• 2012 Yankee Division Champions

• 2012 District 5th place Bronze Medalists

• 2012 Top 20 International Collegiate Quartet

• 2012 District Collegiate Quartet Champions

As college, and inevitable distance became too much for the quartet, members went their separate ways. However, the members of the quartet are still singing today! Some with even bigger accolades added to their "barbershop pedigree"

Members (and additional awards):

• John Castonguay - Tenor (sings with The Swing of Things)

• Sebastian Massa - Lead (sings with The Swing of Things)
