Marquis

From their inception in August 1993, the members of Marquis were committed to excellence in music and sharing the love of that music with their audience, while enjoying the friendship formed within the quartet and their families. This commitment enabled Randy, Jay, Dale, and Paul to take only twenty three months to win the gold medal at the 1995 International Barbershop Convention in Miami Beach. With their victory, the individual members f Marquis have accumulated twenty four appearances in international barbershop competition resulting in seventeen top five medals. Jay and Paul earned their second gold having previously won in 1987 with the Interstate Rivals.

Marquis' travels have been far and wide with performances in twenty eight states, a benefit performance in Japan, a tour of France, and an appearance at the British barbershoppers national convention. Marquis also was featured in two nationally televised PBS specials. Their second recording, "Diamond Cuts," was voted as Best Barbershop Album in 1998 by the Contemporary A Cappella Society of America (CASA).
