Autumn Serenade, has been registered with the Barbershop Harmony Society for 14 years. Its beginning can be traced back to the formation of the Faculty Forum 20 years ago when four University of Wisconsin-River Falls faculty members performed in “The Music Man” at the St. Croix Valley Summer Theater.
Since that time, a number of personnel changes have occurred and the name Autumn Serenade has been adopted. Presently, two of the original members are singing in the quartet - the lead, Curt Larson, retired Physics Professor, and the baritone, Mark Bergland, Biology Professor. They are joined by Roger Bosmoe, retired Forest Lake Postmaster who sings tenor and Duane Hall, retired 3M Health Physicist who sings bass. All are members of the Croix Chordsmen Chorus.

Vocality is an a cappella quartet with a wide-ranging repertoire from 50s, 60s, and 70s pop tunes to classic gospel to barbershop. They love singing together and entertaining audiences.
Vocality was formed in January, 2007 and was quickly recognized as an entertaining quartet with their flawless harmonies and exciting delivery. They were crowned District Champions in the Land 'O Lakes district of the Barbershop Harmony Society and quickly rose to the elite ranks of the Top 20 in the International Barbershop Quartet contest and have placed 2nd in the Harmony Sweepstakes Chicago contest. In October 2016 Vocality was inducted into the Land O' Lakes Barbershop District Hall Of Fame.
They've performed well over 150 shows across the upper Midwest and released their debut recording in the Fall of 2010. Their second album, "Alleluia", is a compilation of gospel music and has been incredibly well received by listeners everywhere. Their third recording, Midnight Clear, was released in November 2013 and features a collection of Christmas favorites with arrangements both old and new. Their 4th album, “Carry On”, features songs from the 60's and 70's. And their 5th album “Never Enough” was released in 2023 with a variety of music, most of which was arranged especially for Vocality.
