Extended History

  • Spot On is a young but accomplished quartet from Harmony, Incorporated Area 4. They formed in February of 2013 and competed in their first Area competition in June, where they were honored to place first. In November they competed in the Harmony, Incorporated International Quartet Contest, and were delightfully surprised and deeply humbled to be crowned the 2013 Harmony Queens!
  • Maggie, Jen, Joy and Kris come from different parts of the country, so rehearsals are always a treat. Hailing from Indianapolis, Chicago, St. Louis, and Louisville respectively, the girls really enjoy getting together for shows, contests, and rehearsals to spend time together... and maybe even sing a little.
  • Spot On is a very family oriented quartet, as all of its members are "Barbershop Brats," meaning their parents, and in some cases even more generations, are also barbershoppers. The girls say that any success the quartet has had can all be traced back to their loving and supportive families. Learn more about their families on the "Our Barbershop Origins" tab on their web site.

Individual Histories

All four are "barbershop brats," meaning they grew up with parents who were already involved in barbershop.

  • Maggie is a second-generation barbershopper. Both of her parents and her brother sing in barbershop groups.
  • Jen is a second-generation barbershopper. Her dad and broth sing in barbershop groups.
  • Joy is a third-generation barbershopper. Her grandfather sang in a barbershop group, as do her dad and brother.
  • Kris is a fourth generation barbershopper. Her great-grandfather sang in a barbershop group, her grandfather directed and sang in barbershop groups, and both of her parents and her brother sing in barbershop groups.

Maggie is the second-youngest Harmony, Inc. quartet champion ever, by three weeks. She was 17 and 7 months when they earned their title. Only multiple-time champion and international president Jeanne O'Connor was younger.

Kris is the wife, and Jen is the twin sister, of BHS international quartet champion Drew Wheaton of Forefront Quartet.
