We met while singing in the Ramapo Valley Chorus of Sweet Adelines International now known as the Harmony Celebration Chorus, and over the years became good friends. All 4 of us previously sang in the Region 15 champion quartet, Follies, though not at the same time. Follies eventually retired but our friendship endured. Since we were always hanging out together, and there were 4 of us after all, we decided to become a quartet. Two of us had to switch parts, but it was well worth it. Our repertoire consists of songs we've borrowed(!) from some of the very best men's and women's quartets to ever sing in the barbershop style. We also have some original arrangements in the Just4(Kicks) style!

About our name... some of you may know us as Just4Kicks and some may think of us as Just 4. There's a story there, of course. When we began singing together about 8 years ago, we were very casual about it. We named ourselves Just4Kicks since it seemed to capture our philosophy. We were dedicated to having fun and getting together whenever we felt the need- not necessarily having a regular rehearsal schedule. We were so casual, in fact, that we forgot to re-register our name with Sweet Adelines International, and while we were sleeping some other quartet from Wisconsin decided to call themselves Just 4 Kicks. Since we didn't want to give up on our old identity entirely, we registered ourselves as Just 4. With or without the Kicks, we're still having a great time!

We'd love to sing 4 you! Contact Mary Jo Pardee for performance information.
