Mike Cating, 23-year Barbershop Harmony Society member, baritone, and former BHS Contest Performance Judge, took over as our new Musical Director in February 2020. Thankfully, a pandemic couldn’t stop Mike from creating weekly, monthly, and yearly plans to keep us all together.
Mike’s vision for The Peninsulaires is new, refreshing, and exciting!
