Lori Crouter
Quartet Contest Co-Host

Lori (Crouter) has been singing in Sweet Adelines for 22 years.  Although she joined member of Harbor City Music Company as a baritone, she quickly found her home singing lead. Lori has found great fun in working with her chorus in many capacities - participating in the music, creative, visual, and performance teams. She also is a part of the Regional Faculty.
Lori has been in two quartets through the years with her most current, Lustre, achieving their ultimate goal - 2018 International Queens of Harmony. Now they move on to new adventures with the quartet performing, coaching, & teaching. Lori is so proud to be a part of this singing organization/sisterhood/family!
When she's not singing (wait, there are times she doesn't sing?!?) you'll find her working for an oral surgeon's office taking care of the patients, telling bad dad jokes, or spending quality time with her twp adorable cats (ask her to see their pics - she has MANY!).

Lori Dreyer
Quartet Contest Co-Host

Lori (Dreyer) is a 33-year member of Sweet Adelines, usually singing baritone, but when needed, will pitch in on lead or bass.  Never, ever, ever ask her to sing tenor.  She will want to help you out, but it isn't gonna be pretty. 
As a member of Harbor City Music Company her entire Sweet Adelines career she has been a part of the membership, music, costume, creative and visual performance committees. Lustre is her third (and obviously most long-lived) quartet experience, and she has loved all that she has gotten to learn, and, in turn, share, as part of Lustre and HCMC. 
For the last few years, Lori has loved being on the regional faculty, where she has gotten to meet many others who share her love of the barbershop artform.
Lori is a retired software engineer and makes her home in Baltimore, Maryland, with fur-baby, BB.
