The BGSU Men's Chorus members have the opportunity to participate in different small group ensembles. These ensembles reherse on their own time and are a great supplements to the BGSU Men's Chorus. These include barbershop quartets and chamber choir, Elite. Elite is an audition choir that meets outside of regular chorus rehearsal and offers a variety of music. It is lead by the current graduate assistant, Dustin Hill.

The BGSU Men's Chorus has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with barbershop singing thanks to former director Richard (R.D.) Mathey. Barbershop music is said to be one of the few truly American musical styles in existence, and many current and former Men's Chorus members have made names for themselves in the field of barbershop singing. The Barbershop Harmony Society (formerly SPEBSQSA), as well as international champion quartets The Rapscallions (1984), Interstate Rivals (1987), Acoustix (1990), The Ritz (1991), Marquis (1995), Yesteryear (1997), Platinum (2000), and Max Q (2007) have all featured former Men's Chorus members. In the college competition, the BGMC has produced 4 collegiate quartet champions. Since 1992, The Real Deal (1994), Stop The Presses (1995), Catfish Bend (2002) and Prestige (2011), have all been crown champions in the college division. There are also several quartets currently competing in Society contests with BGMC alumni in them. Among them are Uptown Sound (2002 International Silver Medalists), Hot Air Buffoons, Hot Topic, Catfish Bend.

Each year, the chorus hosts one or two varsity quartets and one small group ensemble. Please contact us for information regarding booking these ensembles.
