OUR QUARTETS
Razzle Dazzle is a quartet comprised of four unique
ladies brought together by their love of music. Lead, Cathy Hix, is a medical office manager, church organist and mother
to Rebecca. Tenor, Kathy Rall, is a “semi retired”
elementary school counselor and mother to a daughter,
Ashlee. Baritone, Jill Wade, is a church secretary and
mother to Dena, Audrey and Chip. Bass, Susan Wood, has
recently taken a break from her optometric practice to take
on the role of “Mom” to her daughters Olivia and Gracie.
These ladies are 3 time Harmony, Inc. Area 6 Quartet
Champions and finished 6th in the 2001 Harmony, Inc.
International Quartet Contest, and most recently, in 2008,
they finished FIRST in the Area 6 competition!. Their latest
venues include “educating” Gwinnett County music teachers in
the style of women’s barbershop, surprise entertainment for
a postal worker’s reunion, Centennial Park Mayor’s Walk and
singing at the Fox Theatre before “The Music Man.”

"Running With Scissors" has been together
since February of 2009. The quartet has spent the
last few months choosing songs we love and learning
to work as a team to make beautiful music.
Lead, Trayce Elenteny has been singing barbershop
for 12 years. Previously, she sang in a black gospel
group in Chicago and has also sung Christian music
in a varitey of venues. Her favorite style of music
is blues/jazz. Trayce lives in Lawrenceville,
Georgia with her husband Ray and has 5 children.
Baritone, Sybil Snead is the newest barbershopper,
having joined the chorus in 2005. Sybil has sung
choral music in the past and loves the challenge and
sound of the baritone part. Sybil has 3 grown
children, 2 grandchildren and 1 on the way. She
lives in a home she and her husband Larry built
themselves in Monroe, Georgia.
Tenor, Cynthia Keyes has also sung barbershop for a
number of years. She was previously in a quartet
named “Five Foot Two” which consisted of 4 ladies
all five foot two or under. She is a 5th grade
teacher but has also taught math on the college
level. She lives in Lawrenceville, Georgia with her
16 year old twin boys.
Bass, Susan Wood has been in barbershop for 13
years. She comes by her love of barbershop from her
father who sings in The Southern Gateway Chorus in
Cincinnati, Ohio. Susan and her husband Jim have an
optometric practice and live in Grayson, Georgia
with their 2 daughters.
“Running With Scissors” has an alter ego named
“Shuffling With Scissors, “ which came about at Area
6 Contest and Convention 2009. Instead of dressing
in 70’s garb for the 70’s theme weekend, we dressed
as…….well, 70 year old ladies. We had so much fun we
decided they would have to make the occasional
appearance.
We look forward to continued growth and learning in
the unique art form of barbershop harmony.
