More About Zing! 
MICHELLE HUNGET - Tenor Michelle lives in Lenexa, Kansas and has been singing barbershop since high school. In her "other life," she is a nurse, working as the Director of the Family Care Center at Providence Hospital in Kansas City. She sings to overcome her stressful day job. She is a member of the Kansas City Chorus. She has been in numerous Internationally competitive quartets dating back to 1992; she is the only tenor in region 7 to win the regional contest 8 times! Her family includes Grant, (husband and life-long barbershopper), her teenage son and daughter, who have also won awards singing barbershop. Michelle's daughter won her first medal singing in a quartet with her grandmother. It's a family of singers! You might think that, with all these singers in the family, they sing together. Well, they do! They just need an invitation to blow the pitch pipe to break into song.
 
Mary and her husband Russ live in Norman, Oklahoma, so they can be close to their beloved University of Oklahoma Sooners. She is the new director of the OK City Chorus. Being a Navy wife has given Mary the opportunity to live in many places and sing with some fantastic choruses: Gem City, Greater Harrisburg, Pacific Sound, P-Heart of Hessen (Germany), and Pride of Baltimore. When Russ retired, they landed permanently in Oklahoma. Mary has sung with a few quartets along the way, most recently with many time Region 25 champion quartet, Kismet. She is an Approved Judge in the Sound Category, serves on the Region 25 faculty, and the Education Steering Committee. Mary is a member of the International Nominating Committee and International Director Education Coordinators. When she has time, Mary works as a physical therapist. Mary and Russ have two kids (Michael and Kirsten) and two dogs. They are enjoying farming the 0.011 acre plot at their new house.
 Melynnie and her husband, Tom, live in Newton, Kansas. They have 3 daughters: one in medical school, one in college and the youngest in high school. Mel, as we call her, sings with the Oklahoma Jubilee Chorus in Tulsa, OK. She started singing barbershop in 1994, and she knew that bass was the part she wanted to sing! Zing! is Mel's second quartet. In her spare time, Mel is involved in several women's and community organizations, and she serves on the board of the local community theatre. She also volunteers for the Fine Arts Booster Club and is a Drama Representative at her daughter's high school. Mel sings in their church choir and serves as a Contemporary Worship Leader with her youngest daughter. In the summer, she likes to perform and sing in musical theatre. As you can tell, music is a very important part of her life!
