Sound Agreement has the honor of carrying on a tradition in the name alone. Originally registered in the Land O' Lakes district in the late '70s, the name is older than two of its members. Began in 2007 at a Spirit of Phoenix retreat in Prescott, Sound Agreement has been very busy. In its first year, the quartet sang the National Anthem for a Phoenix Sun's game, sang songs for the Spirit of Phoenix show, sang at retirement communities, and for church functions. They entered the FWD Division Contest in 2008 and won the Novice Championship with a 6th place finish. They enjoy mixing up new and old music, and keep their options open to just about anything.
	Corbin Beu (lead) is the son of the original bass Bob Beu, who sang with Sound Agreement from the late �70s to 2002. He has been around barbershop since he was three years old. Corbin joined his first chorus in Wisconsin, the Badger Chordhawks (International Champs 1955). He joined the Cactus Chordsmen about five years ago when his Dad moved to Phoenix to get away from the snow. Corbin most recently sang with his Dad in a quartet called Cool Breeze and did many of the Chordsmen's shows. He now sings with Spirit of Phoenix. He also has the abilty to say he has competed internationally in four different things, 1998 Olympics Nagano-Sled hockey, 1995 Wheelchair basketball and track and field in Gateshead England, and most recently he did a headstand in his wheelchair at the International Chorus Competition in Denver. Corbin is a fabricator specializing in making sports equipment for disabled athletes, he also makes high end gates and fences.
	Mark Spriggs (tenor) has some quarteting background before Sound Agreement. Mark started out singing in Iowa with the Harmony Hawks Barbershop Chorus in Cedar Rapids. He sang with Trademark from 2001-2005 winning the district novice category in 2001. In thier first appearance on the contest stage, Trademark was able to pull off a 10th place finish. In their last contest with Trademark in 2004, the quartet came out in 3rd place, only 2 places away from the 1st place quartet (some guys named Vocal Spectrum). Mark moved to Phoenix in 2005 and joined the Spirit of Phoenix chorus in 2006. He was a member of Xtreme for the year and competed at the District that year. Mark is a computer programmer working as a consultant at SRP. He moved to Phoenix with his wife Jannett, and 2 children.
	Jim Krones - My next step in my journey through the barbershop world has started with Sound Agreement asking me to join and sing Baritone. The journey with this Quartet will hopefully be a long and fun journey. My journey started what seems like a short time ago, 29 years and so many songs. I started singing barbershop in Illinois with my Dad and brother both of which are still singing, my Dad sings with The Westowns Chorus directed by my brother Joe Krones and my brother also sings with Old School, 5th place International medalists. I was brought up in the Peoria Chorus and served many positions, including Assistant Director. Most of my time was spent with a quartet named Backstage Applause. We sang all throughout Illinois for big audiences and small groups also competing and finishing as high as 5th place in the Illinois District. I moved to Arizona in 97 and  with my wife and three children. I'm a carpenter  and allaround handyman also I'm a Superintendant for a local construction company. I joined the Phoenicians Chorus which is now Spirit of Phoenix. Baritone has been my choice of voice part for as long as I can remember, it is what I think makes barbershop what it is "BARBERSHOP"! You can call me the "Old Man" of the quartet but my spirit and voice is as young as this quartet. I am honored to be a part of this quartet, the next step in my life.
	Rodney Armstrong rounds the quartet out singing the low notes. Though he is new to barbershop (recently joined the society in Feb 2007), he comes from a strong a cappella background. Hailing from Topeka, KS, Rodney sang bass with Cadence, a male a cappella group on the campus of Kansas State University, and also sang with a doo-wop quartet called Streetside, based in Kansas City. After graduating from KSU, Rodney moved to Phoenix where he works as a sales consultant working with small businesses.
