Debbie Cleveland is a two-time International Quartet Champion (“the BUZZ” 2005 and Showtime 1994) and is retired after 36 years as a High School Choral Director. She was named the National Music Educator of the Year for NAfME/SAI in 1997, and again for NAfME/BHS in 2018.

As an educator, her choirs were consistently rated “Superior” and selected regularly to perform at EPCOT’s Candlelight Processional, and NYC’s Saint Patrick’s Cathedral Guest Choir Series. Her top 70-voice traditional choir became an award-winning barbershop chorus known as the “Hurricane of Harmony”. They won top ratings and placement at the 2018 and 2019 BHS Midwinter Youth Chorus Festival, as well as being voted Audience Favorite both years.

Debbie has performed, coached and taught all over the U.S. and many European countries, as well as Australia and New Zealand. She sings Lead in the current SAI Silver Medalist quartet Dynasty, and performed as part of EPCOT’s 2023 Candlelight Processional “Voices of Liberty”. She is also a regular Co-host for the BHS International Convention Livestream, and a member of the SAI International Faculty.

Full Effect formed in the fall of 2022 out of the Cleveland, TN Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society. The quartet is made up of Brett Beard (Tenor), Andrew Easterling (Lead), Caleb Hayes (Baritone), and Wyatt McCarter (Bass).

The quartet quickly found success, qualifying 1st for the Next-Gen Varsity Quartet contest in January. The foursome would go on to win the contest at the Society's International Contest held this past July in Louisville, KY, boasting the second highest score in the contests' 31 year history.

Full Effect would go on to take home the Dixie District Quartet Championship this past fall, becoming the district's 75th Anniversary Champions, and recently qualified to represent the district at this year’s international competition in Cleveland, OH.

The quartet is made up of music educators and trained vocalists that share a deep passion for teaching, youth, and the power of barbershop harmony in the lives of young people.

Sweet Adelines International 2023 Silver Medalist, Dynasty Quartet, brings a heritage of harmony to the stage with a mom and daughter on lead and bass, and a baritone and tenor who both came from parents and grandparents who were barbershop singers. With a focus on family, love, and laughter, Dynasty carries on the proud traditions of all those who have crossed the stage before them. With 3 music educators (and a music educator at heart) in the quartet, HX is indeed proud to welcome Dynasty!
