Sad News: Jim Gentil passed away at 1 AM this morning, losing his battle with lung cancer, which had been diagnosed early last summer. Jim was a Former SGC...
Recently a member of my Quartet quit without any notice. Leaving us to fill 7 gigs in 9 days. Just a little bit unprofessional. But I digress. My question -...
Steve, That is a good one! My feeling on this is if the quartet paid for the uniforms and they can be used by the new member of the quartet, The member leaving...

Hi Steve, A "sticky wicket", indeed. My quartet comings and goings have always deferred to "the quartet". Let the outfits stay with the group. I suppose it...
Playing "devil's advocate" for a second here, the uniforms were owned by an entity (the quartet) of which the recently-departed was a 25% owner. As such, I do...
The one time I joined a quartet to replace a departing member where the quartet did have a LOT of existing costume assets, I fully expected to have to pay to...
When I moved into an established quartet, the quartet bought the departing baritone's quartet wardrobe from him, and I bought it from the quartet with gig...
I have no experience, but I find the proposition undecidable: as a member of the quartet, I believe your missing member earned one quarter of the assets and...
I would recommend trying to negotiate, maybe borrowing the costumes short term, and buying them long term, Remember to be copyright legal, you need to purchase...
I was in the same situation maaaaaany years ago, so I'm not exactly unbiased. In fact, I'm still PO'd after all these years, sad to say. So take the following...

Steve: Just to chime in from the perspective of someone who has been on both sides of this issue. I think that the departing member should return the...
Many of the various responses keep saying that "the quartet" paid for them. OK, so.... where did the "quartet" treasury get the money to pay for them? Out of...
How does this differ (except in degree) from a chapter chorus? And yet I doubt anyone would argue that a member of a 25-singer chorus would be entitled to his...
It IS MUCH different because the chapters are 501(c)3 non-profit registered entities and they jump through great hoops to do so (or the international has done...
Thanks for all the responses to this subject. I hope that other quartets make some notes and "plan" for this possibility just in case. No matter what happens,...
OK, not being a lawyer, I'll concede that they are probably quite different from a legal sense. But ethically, they are the same. As such, I'd feel morally...

Perhaps the first piece of business to conduct when a quartet forms is to create an exit strategy. I suspect it's much easier to do this while all are still...
