Just request the Newyorkers logo. They send a proof as well and are easy to talk with should you have a question or can't find something you are looking for. If you want the same denim long sleeved shirts or fleece or Nike polo that you may have seen worn, just ask for what I ordered. They know what has been ordered with the logo on it.

Older Notices

The Footlighters Quartet is delighted to announce that, effective immediately, Mr. J. Breck Martyn has joined the quartet to sing Baritone.    Breck is a long-time barbershopper and quartet man and a fine musician.  He brings a wealth of show and competition experience to the quartet, as well as great energy and personality.

Breck sang with and directed the world-renowned Colgate Thirteen choral group in his college days.  He joined the Barbershop Harmony Society (then known as SPEBSQSA) in 1976, with the Poughkeepsie, New York Chapter and remains a Chapter member.  He has directed the Newyorkers Chorus and has served in many administrative and Annual Show capacities.   He has sung, variously, Lead, Tenor, and Baritone with four quartets:  Four Guys From Poughkeepsie, Sound Edition, Entertainment Tonite, and Rave Revue.    With Entertainment Tonite, he was a quarter-finalist at the 1988 International Quartet Competition held in San Antonio, Texas.  With Rave Revue, he won the Northeastern District Quartet Championship in 1991 and ranked as a quarter-finalist at the 1995 International Quartet Competition in Miami, Florida.

 

Breck lives in Poughkeepsie with his wife Terri.  He joins veteran Footlighters  Ron Pierson (Tenor),  Jack Ostmark (Lead),  and  Bud Fair (Bass), all also members of the Poughkeepsie Chapter.  The quartet is working on new repertoire material, and is planning a re-entry into competition in 2011. 

Sheet music and MP3 learning materials for America the Beautiful and Battle Hymn of the Republic has been distributed to all active singing members.
