    Widely reputed as “America’s Finest Singing Machine,” the BGSU Men’s Chorus is an auditioned large ensemble open to all tenor and bass singers on campus. The ensemble encompasses students across all majors, representing all seven colleges at the University; over half of the members are non-music majors. Uniquely, the chorus functions as a student organization as well as a registered course offered through the College of Musical Arts, deriving from them both an atmosphere of brotherly camaraderie and exemplary musicianship.
