Who are the Gents?
And what is with those silly uniforms?
​The Gentlemen of the College was founded in the spring of 1990 at the College of William & Mary by several students who held a common passion for barbershop music. While the original group was focused on barbershop quartet singing, its current repertoire includes everything from motown to alternative rock to pop.

The group has entertained dignitaries and politicians from the Governor of Virginia to the Queen of England and appeared on television shows like "The Price is Right" and ABC News "Good Morning Charleston". Every year, the Gentlemen look forward to performing for both on and off-campus venues as well as maintaining a regular performance for Colonial Williamsburg's Christmas Festivities in December.
