THE OTHER GUYS

Have you heard of the men’s a cappella group called THE OTHER GUYS? If you have ushered the SOM: Varsity Men’s Glee Club or have seen advertisements for their shows, you probably know who they are. They are a fabulous group including eight men with five of them being music majors. They are entirely self-run and they arrange their own music as well as their shows. This fabulous group of guys spends time from Sunday to Thursday making sure their performances are top notch. They were originally founded during the 1968-69 school year by members of the Varsity Men’s Glee Club. They have a rich history and their performances are still fresh for today’s audience. From ushering the SOM: Varsity Men’s Glee Club, I’ve seen them perform as part of the show and I can testify that they not only sing great, but they add in some humor to keep the audience entertained. If you are interested in joining this great group of guys, they hold auditions in the beginning of every year to see the vocal range of the student and see how well the student can sing within a group. Members also should be a part of the Varsity Men’s Glee Club to try out and join The Other Guys. So if you’re a guy looking to audition, just dust off your vocal cords and prepare for the next audition in Fall 2007. If you are interested in seeing them perform, their next show (believe it or not) is TODAY (SATURDAY MARCH 10) at 8PM at Foellinger Auditorium. The cost is around $5 for students, so GO out and SUPPORT! You’ll be sure to enjoy it! If you have more questions about upcoming shows…etc, you can visit their website at www.otherguys.org. Before I say peace out, here’s a special thanks to a member of THE OTHER GUYS, Mike Maloney, for providing this information.
