Education is a top priority in NxNW Region 13! To learn more about some of our upcoming educational opportunities, see below.
SET 2024
Plan ahead! SET 2024 will be held August 22-25, 2024, at a location soon to be announced.
Our outstanding guest faculty is Caitlin Castelino, baritone of LoveNotes and the director of the Diablo Vista Chorus.
Caitlin started singing barbershop when she was only 11 years old, but was hooked from the start and knew right away she wanted to be in a quartet. In 2002 the quartet UnderAge was formed and went on to win the Young Women in Harmony International Rising Star contest in 2005. In 2008, they changed their name to LoveNotes...and the rest is history! The quartet won the coveted title of Queens of Harmony five years later. Throughout all of those years, Caitlin competed with Bay Area Showcase Chorus, was been a section leader, front row dancer, chorus and quartet coach, and now a front line director!
Caitlin is a Speech-Language Pathologist, working with individuals who have suffered brain injuries. She is married and has one child.
Stay tuned for more SET information.
