Our Leadership

Frontline Director and Choreographer
​Dawn Krones

Dawn has been an active member of Sweet Adelines International for 18 years. Her love of barbershop began alongside her mom by singing and dancing in the Sooner Sensations Show Chorus. As a second generation barbershopper, Dawn's musical family background has given her not only the knowledge, but especially the desire to share her love of song and dance. This desire led her to sing in and choreograph for OK City Chorus, Tulsa Metro Sound Chorus, and Wichita Chorus. She competed with OK City Chorus at the international level and with Wichita Chorus in The Harmony Classic International Competition. Dawn has sung tenor in multiple accomplished quartets, including Couture, the 2018 Region 25 Champion Quartet, who went on to compete at the international level. Currently, she sings with Wildfire! Quartet and is looking forward to competing again soon.


Currently, Dawn is Director for Sooner Sensations Chorus, choreographer for The Vocal Sounds of Oklahoma, the local men's chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, and visual coach for Perpetual Sound Quartet. She has also previously held several leadership roles in Sooner Sensations Chorus, including choreographer and tenor section leader. Her service to Region 25 includes Communications and YWIH Coordinators and has been involved with multiple area Youth in Harmony workshops as the event organizer, choreographer, and a member of the faculty teaching quartet.


Dawn is newly wed to her barbershop husband, Joe "Beast" Krones, Bass of the 2011 BHS Champion Quartet, Old School. He is a strong support for Dawn and the chorus by providing coaching and private voice lessons. Dawn's children are also musically inclined, and her daughter, Kristina, sings in the chorus and Perpetual Sound Quartet.

Catherine sang throughout college and graduate school in various choirs.  When she and her husband moved to Oklahoma in 2021, Catherine knew she wanted to find a group to sing with, and a quick Google search later, she attended the next Sooner Sensations rehearsal.  She has loved it ever since, and even joined a quartet, The Overtones, this past year, in which she sings bass!  

We are Family

One of the things we as a chorus pride ourselves on is the fellowship of singing with our family. We have multiple mother/daughter and sister duos along with two family trios in the Sooner Sensations.
