== Extended History ==
To their extreme joy, the quartet placed sixth in its first international contest in Nashville. The joy was short lived, however, when baritone Sandy Trombly made the painful decision to retire. A Cappella Gold auditioned baritones and was lucky to find the very talented Tomi McEvoy. New to barbershop, Tomi was more than eager to learn the quartet's music and choreography in short order, making her first performance with the quartet as mic testers at the 1999 Region 21 contest. Later that year, the quartet placed third at international contest in Atlanta.
Armed with score sheets, judges' recommendations and a new coach Joni Bescos, the quartet set new goals and began the search for the elusive gold medal. At the International Education Symposium in San Antonio in July 2000, A Cappella Gold experienced the remarkable talent of Jean Barford, who was rooming that week with coach, Joni Bescos. The combination was to prove life altering. A Cappella Gold's path, direction and work regime became clearly defined. With the addition of Brian Philbin to the coaching staff, they found they had a natural bent for comedy, and with that added element, the excitement heightened.
Winning first place in September 2000 in Orlando was the thrill of a lifetime and an absolute dream come true resulting in first medals for bass Susan Lamb and baritone Tomi McEvoy, a second gold medal for tenor Bette Gorton, and an unprecedented third gold medal for lead Kim Hulbert.
