See round 1 for the rules.
Today’s picture: Old School. There is a lot to talk about when it comes to the 2011 international champion quartet:
- Kipp Buckner‘s (left) third gold medal and Joe Connelly‘s (second from left) record 4th.
- The fact that the new champs intentionally re-used repertoire from legendary quartets of decades past on their way to gold, putting on a clinic for why traditional barbershop never stops being cool.
- The official induction of Joe “Beast” Krones (third from left) into an extremely elite fraternity, and we’re talking about one not occupied by bari Jack Pinto (right). Let’s just say the only other current members are Brett Littlefield and Jeff Oxley. (Anyone who has followed barbershop over the past 20 years — or who was in Kansas City this year — likely needs no further explanation.)
But what do YOU have to say about the above photo?
Buy generic Urispas

Too much tenor!
The boys in Old School realize that KC BBQ is binding…
“Cheez, Pinto, we said this song was in E, not G!!!! I haven’t had to hit this note since puberty! Next time Kipp gets the pitchpipe.”
Quartet #6 in your program & #1 in your heart singing another chestnut; “Old School’s out for Summer”!
Sheesh already!! He spit all over my hand
Oh man this song is high. Kipp and Joe forgot to tell us to wear our tighty whities.
Old’s Cool!
Pitch’s cruel!
Fans drool!
Golds rule!
Jack Pinto of Old school saying ” Guys come on…we want the sound of these old songs to be SO BIG it bruises the audience…we want them to feel the chords banging against their brain….LOUDER and FULLER…come on guys!!”
Old School.
You oaf! You’re standing on my foot.
No, I’m not.
Old School’s Joe Krones tries desparately to raise his pitch another notch while Joe Connelly secretly grinds his foot into Krones’ toe. (Not even the judges saw
Connelly ‘help’ his friend out.)

There ought to be a law – too many medals spread among too few !!!!!!!!
@Lyle Howard, There is a law. Sing better than everybody else and you get a medal. Pretty simple.
