They are;
Tenor: T. Dylan Oxford
This is Dylan's third District Championship—at his third voice part! He won previously singing Lead with
The Class of '94 and then as the Baritone of Riptide. He is very active with the Stone Mountain Chorus
where he serves as Lead Section Leader, Assistant Director and Chapter Treasurer. He is a mechanical
engineer by trade and when his schedule permits, loves to spend some quality time with his new wife
Michelle. He's the smallest member of the quartet and is part of a three-way tie for having the least
amount of hair.
Lead: Tim Brooks
This is also Tim's third District Championship—also at his third voice part. Back in 1987, Tim sang Tenor
with The Atlanta Forum. Then, he was the original Baritone of The Svelte Bros. He is a past-director of
the Stone Mountain Chorus and currently serves as one of their musical coaches. He is also a certified
Singing judge in the Society's contest and judging program. He and his wife Karen own a Manufacturer's
Representative agency and have two boys, Daniel and Michael. He's the oldest member of the quartet,
2nd thinnest and also a part of that three-way tie for having the least amount of hair.
Bass: Drew McMillan
For Drew, this is his second District Championship—both while singing Bass. He and Tim sang together in
The Svelte Bros. from 1995 until 1998. He has a degree in Voice from USC and along with his wife Susan,
is a professional singer and voice teacher. He's the 2nd largest, 2nd oldest and has sole possession of
1st place for having the most hair in the quartet.
Baritone: Heath Wheeler
This is Heath's first District Championship—all while singing Baritone. He is a ten-year member of the
Cleveland Scream Machine chorus in Cleveland, TN. He runs a family business, Wheeler Electronics in
Cleveland. He and his wife Alicia have a beautiful two-year old daughter, Reagan. He was picked to sing
with this quartet because he's the youngest, he's the largest and he's willing to drive to Atlanta for
rehearsals.
