"Here in the West we have just experienced the most amazing time with the Musical Island Boys from New Zealand...what a fine example to us all they are and what marvelous role models these boys are for young people...saying we would recommend such an experience to other barbershop communities around the country is an understatement!" – Helen Schofield, Perth, Australia 2006 Entertain Your Comrades, Impress your Visitors Whether you are looking for professional-quality and world-class entertainment, or merely to help break the ice at a function with some great melodies and immaculate harmony unmatched by any in the Southern Hemisphere, the Musical Island Boys are truly a one of a kind performance. "The last time MIB short for Musical Island Boys were in town, the full house signs went up." – Richard Mays, Manawatu Standard, 03 November 2006 Energetic, Powerful, & Uplifting Performers The Musical Island Boys are widely renowned for their ability to connect with the audience, in ways very rarely seen in any barbershop quartet. In essence, you must 'see it to believe it!' They consistently mesmerize onlookers with their command of the stage, and deliver with such heart, honesty, and commitment, that audiences from all ages and cultures are left spellbound. "My first thought was that they'd be fun but probably not that good. Boy, was I wrong. From their first steps onto the stage until they finished and departed again, these four guys just oozed personality. They owned the stage in a way I have seen only very rarely. Each was getting the most out of his individual personality and the four just meshed into an amazing performance. When they were done, it was pretty clear to me that we had our winners..." – Jim Emery, Singing Category Judge, 2006 International U25 Barbershop Competition At the 2009 International Barbershop Convention, after two full years away from Intense competition, they stunned the American audience again, gaining 10th place in their first time out. Barbershop experts unanimously agreed that the Musical Island Boys had delivered a stellar performance, head and shoulders above that of their win in 2006... And if that wasn't enough, in 2010 they became the first Quartet in the southern hemisphere to crack the Top 5, finishing 4th and were awarded a bronze medal for their stunning performances. Again, they brought a degree of expression that was unique, powerful and entertaining!
