The origin of OUTBURST!
OUTBURST was born in the spring of 2008 when long-time quartet-mates Santina Scalzo (Lead), Nancy Mantle (Baritone) and Debbie Pinkney (Tenor) added Carol Dubue as their new Bass. After several rehearsals, a few opinions from some experienced ears, and some very positive feedback, they were on their way! Naming a quartet is always a challenge but it didn't take long before everyone agreed OUTBURST was perfect. It was just a matter of getting final approval on the name from Sweet Adelines International and, voila, there was an OUTBURST! And there are always plenty of outbursts when these four are together...outbursts of song, outbursts of laughter, and outbursts of enthusiasm!
Now they are in "Contest Mode", practicing the package, shopping for outfits, getting the interp just right, shopping for jewelry, adding choreo, shopping for shoes, getting lots of coaching, and having a blast doing it all! The winter will be spent perfecting the package they hope will serve them well, and of course, shopping!
This blog is a journal of sorts, but it is here for all the friends and loved ones who want to keep up on the outbursts of OUTBURST! Updates will be added whenever possible and comments are always welcome!

Great idea!
I understand there were some other kinds of outbursts at the mini-retreat!
