Relative Ring- Composed of two sisters and two cousins, these ladies travel from the north, south, east and west corners of Maine. They are thrilled to finally be singing together after many years of waiting for “just the right time.”

Wendi Bailey (Tenor & Cousin to Sherry) has been singing almost all her life in some type of chorus or choir including Maine All-State Chorus in 1984 and 1985.  She has a degree in music education with voice and saxophone as my areas of study.  Wendi has directed and helped to charter the Mollyockett Sweet Adeline chorus and acted as temporary Director of the Hillsmen Chorus (BHS). Wendi is a current member of Royal River Chorus and is happily married to the wonderful "Bill Bailey" and have 2 awesome boys, Zach and Garrett.  They all love to go camping and gardening in their back yard.

Sherry Sprague (Bass & Cousin to Wendi) has been singing in Sweet Adelines for 24 years. She inherited her singing talent from her mother, who was a classically trained vocalist. She has sung bass in 4 other quartets and is a current member and a past section leader for Royal River Chorus. Sherry is a certified Sweet Adeline Director. She shares her home with her dog, Tobi, a 9 year old Schipperke.  

Barbara Hynes (Baritone & Sister to Debbie) grew up singing in a musical family and also plays the piano, clarinet and saxophone. She is currently a member and President of Royal River Chorus. She is married to Chef Al (which comes in handy for quartet rehearsals- yum!) and has two singing daughters, Lizbie and Allie, who all share a menagerie of assorted pets at home.  When not singing,  Barbara can be found in her pool,  where she operates her own home based swim instruction business.

Debbie Arenberg (Lead & Sister to Barbara) grew up in the same musical sister and choose to play the trumpet and French horn. She is married to Mark and has two children, Ben and Sarah. Debbie is Director of Sales for a national rowing shell company and is often heard remarking how similar her rowing training is to singing barbershop!
