I hope the Newfangled Four can have something similar to this. Its amazing how comedy quartets have such a massive impact on the entire community every single time. Lunch Break and NF4 will forever be a major part in many people's attachment to barbershop :)

I am not an emotional person, and I only discovered this barbershop stuff a few days ago (and I've been camped out on KZread ever since), but when they made the 10...damn...

There is nothing sweeter than running children yelling "daddy!" 💕💗

Many thanks to Jeremy Gover for the tremendous job of editing and filming this. A life-long memory!

sorry to be off topic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me

I’ve been binge watching barbershop quartet performances for the last five days. And Lunch Break has to be, by far, my favorite group. Something about their specific harmony just hits my soul and takes me back to singing barbershop with dad and brothers as a small child. I feel joy that I was able to experience some of their final competition behind the scenes with this video.

I'm so glad that Shane's wife was alive to see them make the 10.

I only found this quartet in 2016. Didn't know that they had retired from competition until seeing this video in February 2020. They should have had far more international prominence than they had. Thank goodness some of their performances are on KZread for a while.

Easily one of the best moments from contest that year. I miss my yearly dose of Lunch Break...

A fantastic group of friends doing what they love. It warms my heart to see them laugh and enjoy each other's company through the journey's end.

You arrived to your last performance in scooters. Absolute legends.

That made me tear up. I loved this group.

i got chills on the last chord

Who else cried watching this? I've got so many great memories with them.

why did i cry so hard when they made the 10 omg

"Gold medal fight!"

I just discovered Lunch Break today, and I still got emotional watching this. They've been done for 9 years already?? I only discovered them today!!!

Unbelievable run and so enjoyable to watch the progress and end result with this quartet. God bless all you guys!

Met them at BABS in 2013, absolute legends.

Oh man. Seeing Godfather Stratton again is incredible. That was a great man of music.

It was so awesome to relive this!

I miss Lunch Break! ♥️

They had a good run, and great music

The EMC for the night had me going. 😂🎶👍

I don't know about the whole group, but the baritone, KJ, became part of the quartet Midtown and finally got a gold medal in 2023. Ironically, one of the pieces Midtown performed in the finals was a reworking of a Lunch Break classic, Old MacDonald's Deformed Farm. It got a perfect score in the performance category.

I love barbershop. Was a member. But this is exactly why I left. The judges. Easily and by far, Lunch Break was what motivated me to join a barbershop chorus. The judges ruined it for me. The judges were ALWAYS pretentious, higher-than-thou, arrogant …. Every time. And very much so, possibly corrupt. Barbershop might have survived if they voted like the public on what they would pay money to see … like Lunch Break. But it was BHS that messed that up.

i miss their humor but most of all rhem

It's hard to identify because that chord progression is a pretty common one used in tags. Also, when the screen comes up, you can see the quartet. I don't remember their quartet name though, but that could be another means of identification.

Shane was moving from Nashville to Florida, and Eddy's kids were growing up and were requiring more attention. They didn't completely disband until 2015 (they had a few shows and sang at a Harmony Foundation event during Harmony University 2015), though.
