Mission Statement:  Circle 12 is dedicated to the perpetuation of barbershop singing excellence through education, philanthropy, fundraising, and mentorship.


What do quartets do after they’ve competed on the International stage as regional quartet champions or wildcards? Most quartets keep working to improve their skills and go back again! Sometimes they form new quartets; and sometimes they become directors or take other jobs in service to their chorus or region. But the experience of those few minutes on the International stage, and the knowledge they gained on their journey there will stay with these singers forever.

In Region 12, we have nearly 50 women still active in the region who have performed on the "big stage" , and who want to give back to the organization in some way.  The members of Circle 12 may have earned their membership in another region, but they’re here now, and we love having them!  This group of talented, high-energy women :

  • Perform at regional events.
  • Share their experiences and knowledge with quartets.
  • Support the quartets that represent Region 12  at international competition.

A list of Circle 12 members, their quartet names, and the years in which they competed at International is posted below. The current director is Caitlin Castelino, and the officers of Circle 12 for 2019-2020 are:

Kathy Scheel, President
Karrie Shively, Treasurer
Julie Harrelson, Secretary
