The BGSU Men's Chorus has
enjoyed a long-standing relationship with barbershop singing
thanks to former director Richard (R.D.) Mathey. Barbershop
music is said to be one of the few truly American musical styles
in existence, and many current and former Men's Chorus members
have made names for themselves in the field of barbershop singing.
The Barbershop
Harmony Society (formerly SPEBSQSA)
International champion quartets The Rapscallions
(1984), Interstate Rivals (1987), Acoustix (1990), The
Ritz (1991), Marquis (1995), Yesteryear
(1997), and Platinum (2000) have all featured former Men's Chorus members.
In the college competition, the BGMC has produced
3 of the 11 collegiate quartet champions. Since
1992, The Real Deal (1994), Stop The Presses (1995),
and Catfish
Bend (2002) have all been crown champions
in the college division. There are also several
quartets currently competing in Society contests
with BGMC alumni in them. Among them are Uptown
Sound (2002 International Silver Medalists),
Hot Air Buffoons, Hot Topic, Catfish
Bend, and Max Q (2004 International Silver Medalists).
Each year, the chorus hosts two varsity quartets and one small group ensemble. Please contact us for information regarding booking these ensembles. |
