As time goes on, some of the quartets pages may be down - as too are the quartets. For example, Pastime ceased performing after this contest - and after 5 years of coming no better than second in contests.

New quartets appear at each contest.
After the contest, they all get a chance to hear the judges evaluations and pick up some valuable tips from some of the best authorities in this subject.
