The equipment was brought, but a new vibe was felt during this year's singing. Rather than trying our hand at new stuff, we pulled out some of the known repertoire, spanning Sinfonia, Dreamers, and even barbershop.

We pulled out some of the oldies, and one or two from more contemporary fare.
A recalcitrant McKeever is thrust into the spotlight to take on the lead for this standard.
Lead: Rob McKeever
DaveHo on lead for the classic ballad. He refrains from Shatner-ization.
Lead: Dave Horan
The ManWeekenders try on some luscious four-part Beach Boys harmony.
The old chestnut is fired up, and during the vamp DaveHo suggests calling London to get the original gag speaker from "Instruments Not Included" for a cameo. JorDan takes the lead, with help from the tenor secion. Please note: not PC.
Lead: Jordan Ullman
Cock recruits DaveHo to assist on the singing of a Singing Valentines bulwark.
Lead: Rob Woodcock, Dave Horan
Another standard from the early days, with a lead from Cock.
Lead: Rob Woodcock
Classic doo-wop, presented in its long, unabridged form. Listen for ad-lib percussion. Jamie takes lead duties.
Lead: Jamie Howe
A doo-wop arrangement that presents lots of fun moments around Shekkie's lead.
Lead: Pete Kennaday
Another lovely Beach Boys ballad, with Shekkie taking the solo.
Lead: Pete Kennaday
Another staple of the Singing Valentines season. TomWest™ tackles the lead.
Lead: Tom West

Red Books in hand, the ManWeekenders belt out some of our well-worn arrangements from our frat days.
Beethoven/Bennet
Four-part men's chorus, on a lovely hymn setting.
Beta Tau Chapter/Ross Hastings
The men dive into the deep end and attempt Ross Hastings avant-garde harmonies. Mixed success.
Harris/Wilson
Classic men's chorus harmonies abound on one of the beloved Red Book songs.
Grieg arr. McKinney
Not a Sinfonia song, but in the Red Book, and a classic men's chorus arrangement.
unknown, arr. Wilson
Another traditional favorite, as a three-part round.
TomWest and Shekkie help the group learn some classic barbershop lock n' ring tags.
