Yale Whiffenpoofs

Every year, 14 senior Yale students are selected to be in the Whiffenpoofs, the world's oldest and best-known collegiate a cappella group. They are incredibly excited to perform in Scottsdale at ASU Kerr, singing a mix of classic and contemporary favorites! This concert kicks off their tour in Phoenix, Arizona, the hometown of current member Lucas Oland.

Founded in 1909, the 'Whiffs' began as a senior quartet that met weekly at Mory's Temple Bar. Today, the group has become one of Yale's most celebrated traditions. Singing a mixture of old Yale tunes, jazz standards, and other hits from across the decades, the Whiffenpoofs perform more than 200 concerts across six continents each year. In past years, the Whiffs have sung for Presidents Obama, Bush, Clinton, and Reagan, and at venues including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Kennedy Center. They've even been featured on television shows such as The Sing Off, The West Wing, Gilmore Girls, and Glee.
