Men-So Forte was a young barbershop quartet based out of San Luis Obispo, CA. Formed in November 2002 at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, they became a recognized barbershop quartet in both the San Luis Obispo Area and the Far Western District Barbershop Community. Music performed by the group ranged from classic jazz standards to epic ballads to hilarious parodies of some of the greatest classical works of all time. Inspired heavily by the Gas House Gang, their repertoire included a blend of heartfelt emotion and laugh out loud comedy. From November 2002 to July 2006, Men-So Forte entertained audiences all over California, as well as Nevada, Arizona, Massachusetts, Utah, Kentucky, and the Midwest. In just three years, they went from scoring a 60.6% and not even qualifying for the MBNA Collegiate Competition to scoring a quartet-high 79.3% and realizing their dream of making an appearance on the International Contest Stage in Indianapolis, Indiana. All four members of the quartet are active members of the 2006 Silver Medal Westminster Chorus.

Men-So Forte wishes to thank all of the people who have encouraged, supported, coached, and watched us grow over the past few years and what was truly a great barbershop quartet experience. Thank you for taking the time to show us how fun and exciting barbershop can be. And remember, just because we are not singing as a quartet anymore does not mean we are not singing at all. Be sure to catch us with the Westminster Chorus and potentially some premiere quartets representing the Far Western District. See ya around!!
