She started in Sweet Adelines at the ripe old age of 24, initially as a baritone, but quickly switching to tenor to sing with her first competing quartet, "The Leading Edge". They placed second in the 1989 Region 26 Quartet Competition - and Corinna was smitten with the quartet bug! She's rarely been out of a quartet since, singing with a variety of combinations in her 20+ years of membership including Five Foot Four, Brava! (1995-2000 and a 9th Place International medal), Omni (2002 Region 26 Champions), Transit (2005 Region 13 Champions) and most recently, Mojo (2007 Region 13 Champions and four time Top Ten international quartet finalists).
