"Ladies, from now on you'll never see one of those men without the other three." I like the idea that, upon singing together, any group of four composed of a bass, a bari, a tenor, and a lead would immediatly become inseperable.

[@guibox3]

That is definitely the mentality of a good quartet man. The guys I sang with in highschool, college and later on in community quartets...we were ALWAYS looking for a chance and opportunity to ring some chords.

[@lucasrobertson8223]

It’s true though lmao

[@matthewbradley3395]

Man that guy singing tenor can really hit the note! I love this song.

[@tracer740]

He must have really little naughty bits!

[@elfmirfkin1]

Liche Christ quite the opposite in fact. It takes a lot of strength and balls to sing that high. I've been in a couple barbershop quartets......I sing bass. :(

[@frasergibson5763]

Castration I'm guessing

[@robbieelkins2301]

His name is Jerry Kelona. He really is that good.

[@Knifiac]

@@elfmirfkin1 I know it's been 6 years lol but just popping in to say completely agree. It's extremely straining not just on the voice but on the abdominal muscles to sustain a note that high without switching to falsetto. I respect anyone that can sing like this man. I'm also a bass but I tend to really enjoy harmonizing in a low register too, but I was tenor 1 in my high school years

[@psychomusicanana]

My dad wrote these arrangements. These guys were the best amateur barbershop quartet, and told him they could only sing their own arrangements. He said if they didn't like his they didn't have to use it. The rest is history...

[@FoodNerds]

Wow! That’s amazing!

[@thesnakeman8006]

2:57. The fireworks going off in the background was the icing on the cake for this whole scene

This is one of my favorite part of my favorite musical "The Music Man". I love the Barbershop Quartet!!! Who are played by the buffalo bills if you didn't already know that.

Only when you see four officers you may.

[@Orlyyep]

These guys are called the buffalo bills barbershop quartet. They steal the show in the music man. One of the best quartets ever.

[@olenfersoi8887]

Award winning SPEBSQSA (Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America) barbershop quartet The Buffalo Bills is the group in the film, following their appearance in the Broadway show for a year. The tenor was Vern Reed, who, along with lead Al Shea, were the two quartet members during its 1947-67 lifetime. The almost hysterically long SPEBSQSA name and acronym has been shortened to the Barbershop Harmony Society. Originally formed for men's quartets, it now has women & other than quartets as members.

[@melodienull4568]

My father was in a barbershop quqrtet. He.has the insignia of the barbershop Society on his tombstone. A barbershop quartet sang at his funeral.

[@MrAGarcia59]

Singing high tenor for the musical this year, My goal is to sing like this guy, freaking amazing

[@Justintimefor2006]

I love barbershop quartets! I just love the feelings they convey.

[@robinharris8837]

I will always regard Robert Preston's work as superb--a special gift and self presentation all his own. But not only that. I met him in 1974 and he had the same charm then as well.He was so gracious to me, a fun person and I wouldn't trade that experience. I will always be grateful for this.

[@PockASqueeno]

I sing in a barbershop quartet and chorus, and when people ask me "What is barbershop?", I refer them to this video.

[@Ursprunghm]

I showed this to my 4th grade students today in my music class.

[@liannapfister8255]

This video is essentially a definition of ‘barbershop quartet’

[@BanditRingtail23]

This kind of singing has to be from heaven. Nothing this sweet and beautiful could possibly come from any place else!

[@ahmose313]

Absolutely, and I am proud to be one of them! My quartet competes and performs all over our hometown. My chorus often songs the national anthem at sporting events. We practice every week and are always looking for new voices! It's just too bad that a lot of people look down on this wonderful hobby!

[@Radbun]

I SCREEEAAAMMMM!

[@klovexthewolf]

LOL

[@shivery3821]

My music teacher let us watch this when i was in 5th grade and i always come back to this scene

Great film! Gotta love Robert Preston

I LOVE this movie! Robert Preston is at his best!

[@SeptemberStarz]

I absolutely LOVE this! I wanna be in musical theatre when I grow up, and I love this song sooooooo much.....

[@amessagefromthepatriots]

For me the tenors 'wrong' notes and the way he bends up to the correct note makes it

[@Driver2151]

+sam171 His name is Vern Reed

[@chrisholowczak5690]

I'm the tenor in this quartet for our school play! Thanks for the video!

[@AlexR-ATG]

That part about ice cream should just be a worldwide anthem for the famed dessert.

[@rachelkessinger2295]

I’m sure to the average person the high tenor or the bass might stand out the most. But for me, The voice of the baritone (2nd to the right) was so wonderful. His moving part on a lot of the sustained notes by the others was so well blended!

[@deussolinvictus]

"MONORAIL!" " I can't hear you?" "Monorail!!!!"

[@Sir_Maximus_Hardwood]

Mono means one And rail means rail

[@IAmHeroic]

Let's all be perfectly truthful here if you heard this out in the street you would not just walk away saying "Man those guys are nuts." You would sit there and listen to this harmony and wish you could sing like that, that's the beauty of the old days of movie and music. Timeless classics and viewtiful (even better than beautiful) music combined into a century, I may not have been even been born for another few decades but I still can appreciate this sheer beauty. Can you?

[@blaklaptop]

I play the tenor in our production. It's basically the hardest music to read ever if you're not used to barbershop style, but it sounds sooooo good

[@MrSaherman]

My all time favorite barbershop piece. Still gives me goose bumps after 60 tears!

[@QueenEmily25]

Doing this for my school musical! I can't wait to see how our quartet does :)

[@spartan5134]

Dude I wached this in highschool this takes me baxk

[@tdvorak9987]

It’s Great To Be A Barbershopper! 💈💈💈

[@MrRJDB1969]

Barbershop..... the beginning stages of group harmony. Without Barbershop there would never have been a Rhythm Boys, Boswell Sisters, Mills Brothers, Merry Macs, Four Hits & A Miss, Modernaires, or Pied Pipers or a few years later, Skyliners, Platters, Crewcuts, or Four Freshmen. A Important detail that should be remembered.

[@Specter_ZXR]

This might be an old clip, from an even older movie. But I still enjoy the way it shows the way music can bring people who hate each other together. The bonding power of it.

[@fazz2052]

The ice cream bit is the best, I like to kind of play along with it on guitar, it's an A major chord!

[@nickgamer20]

Hahaha, Harold Hill's expression to the first tenor's high B is PRICELESS.

[@alexjbrenchleymusic]

I've wanted to be in a barbershop quartet ever since I first saw this movie.

Ye could also type up early 1900’s Barbershop quartet music, You’ll find it that way!

[@JonathanHo13]

This is just great. I wish I could do this to my school administrators.

[@ccoraxfan]

One thing which gives a barbershop quartet such an amazing sound is a little part of musical theory called "just intonation". Because the human voice is more flexible tone-wise than almost any musical instrument (e.g the piano can only play 12 discrete tones per octave, while the voice can bend one continuous note across more than two octaves), a good quartet can produce purer harmonies than any piano. Most instruments have to compromise intonation, but the well-trained voice does not.

[@DanielSabzghabaei]

@TheImpossibleMan The best type of singing. Takes the most control and sounds so great. Straight tone.

[@theamericanmike135]

i grew up on these movies =) im 22. as a kid ive seen more musicals then real 90s tv(back in the 90s).... no i didnt turn out a goodie goodie, i work in a quarry. cuss like a sailor. still love musicals =) only way i remember to spell Oklahoma, is from the musical lol favorite musical - seven brides for seven brothers

I just finished this show as the high tenor in the quartet, Jacey Squires. Gosh, I miss it.

[@lalibehere1377]

I recognize this!!!! Some choir boys did this scene and one of my fellow theater girls and I were swooning over them backstage! XD

[@psychomusicanana]

I had to correct the credits on The Buffalo Bills: Herbert Greene wrote all these arrangements. He was one of the show's producer's, and he hired them for it. He also helped write the book with Loesser and Lacey. He also taught Robert Preston to sing. All dure respect to Willson and Bloomgarden...

[@ccollalto]

i just got put as the bass for my school play this year, so i had to check this out

My favorite line of the four has to be "Make him put up a bond!"

[@DowntownLAKid]

"where is the good in goodbye" Love that line

[@WhiteKeyBlackString]

I immediately feel much more calm. Thank you. :)

[@katelovesmark]

when done right, it's one of the coolest sounds in the world!

[@simonlutgens]

0:50 I love how he said "Now you sir!" already in the same pitch as the tenor

[@Xerock]

I’m so glad this movie was made when it was. In the modern age, they’d be singing “the lion sleeps tonight”

[@VGMrawk]

Brought here by the empire carpet commercial jingle

[@Maestro2500]

@mustcrust The bass actually died only a year after this movie was released. The only surviving member of the Buffalo Bills was a baritone that joined after the end of this production.

[@laylacalif]

I feel nice every time they sing ICE CREAM!

[@drobbitlaikizoht]

I have to admit that at 1:26 I thought they were going to say: "How can there be ICECREEEEAM!"

[@Namirsolo]

The voice parts in a men's quartet from highest to lowest are Tenor 1, Tenor 2, Baritone and Bass. (to hpoefully clear up any confusion)

[@xGold19x]

My bro was the bass of the quartet for his high musical. :)
