Event Description

The Whiffenpoofs are excited to be holding a public concert at Stratford High School, featuring SHS alumnus and current Whiffenpoof Brandon Sherrod. Stratford's very own Select Choir and Boys' and Girls' a cappella group will also perform.

Every year, fourteen senior Yale men are selected to be in the Whiffenpoofs, the world’s oldest and most famous collegiate a cappella group. Founded in 1909, the “Whiffs” began as a senior quintet that met for weekly concerts at Mory’s Temple Bar, the renowned Yale tavern and club. Today, the group has become one of Yale’s most celebrated and hallowed traditions, carrying on almost a century of musical excellence and professional showmanship at Yale, across America, and across the world.

Each Whiffenpoof group maintains a busy performance schedule throughout the year, records an album, and circles the globe on a six-continent world tour. Audiences have included such notable figures as Presidents Obama and Bush, the Dalai Lama, Mother Theresa, and fans at Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center, the Rose Bowl, the World Series, Saturday Night Live, NBC's The Sing-Off, and the season four finale of Glee.
