[flygirl80013]

This in in aurora! I've been to Cherokee trail and overland :D. But not the schools I went too lol

[noaffection1]

nice, definately keep it up, never quit

[ihavnovids]

you have that bass-ish look

[masteroutlaw100]

an old irish blessing is what theyre singing

[stealthunter14]

this is great

[wherethefuckisjake]

very nice work boys!

[kelseycowen]

you are soooooo amazing i love barber shop you guys sound sooo well together

[LHDmaster]

thought the black guy was the bass singer.. i feel racist

[DeltaKilo3]

@LHDmaster It's okay, I thought the same thing until it turned out to be the guy I least suspected. The black kid is bigger than the others too; that might have had a bigger contribution to the presumption.

[playmoney132]

@LHDmaster he was the high pitch one lol

[sparkanta]

@LHDmaster dont worry everyone thought that



[oldnoname12]

@LHDmaster lol its ok, black people just tend to have low voices, i like low voices

[ihavnovids]

@412blast can't stop listening to hello marry lou you guys did great! I'm in middle school chorus, and I can't figure out if I'm high or low what could me figure out? am I both?

[stinkyshoe]

You have no idea how excited how I got watching this. I was just looking up Barbershop quartet music, and I found a performance of this song that my highschools choir performed last year :)

[cotyke]

each and every one of yous are an equal, important part to this fine quartet

[KushKabob]

The big black guy has the highest voice, how anti-racist

[TheIrishTitan]

@KushKabob what?

[4everDRHS]

Wow they are good (:

[Kaosedg]

Nice job guys! I have been listening to Barbershop all my life. My father raised us on it. Listening to you guys brings tears to my eyes. My father has passed away. Somewhere there is a Baritone smiling down on you fellows.

[Gwailoh911]

[aaronhida123]

[Floatingone1]

[TheFourStringViking]

Jeez, good work guys.

[VeryFamousGuy]

apparently there are 9 people on youtube that dont like good music...

[MatthewFordVictoria]

Tell that Lead to put his hands down!

[kpoehlke]

This is really good. Intonation was just slightly off in some spots. But you guys had great musicality, great energy and excellent stage presence. This is no small accomplishment

[yamahonkawazuki]

this was AWESOME. heck if all 4 of you can get together again at some point, if youtube is still around, record somehtign again, and post :)

[christop108]

Your guys are amazing. Loved it thoroughly. Must have taken ages for practice and perfecting your harmony. Just had a thought - if all the other youth today spent more time doing wholesome and worthwhile things, like what you all are doing - I'm sure we'd have a lot less worries about our future.

[DylanBaroneMusic]

this is absolutely amazing. Mary lou is flawless!

[thatsmyaibo]

Haha that's funny. I'm a pilot that felt like listening to barbershop quartet.

[nicoleANDcristine]

That was soo amazing !! Good job you guys . And may I say, the one in the green in good looking (:

[Tatchwhis]

WOW

[The1hope4all]

I've just been roped into a Barbershop outfit - never thought I would, but I have to say I'm enjoying it!

[zombiesanti]

fantastic!

[marrianeelizabeth]

holy cow! found this by accident, then realized not only were they schools from my area, my brother goes to cherokee. even crazier, i know the kid with the green shirt... and had the hugest crush on him for the year we spent playing bass clarinet together...

O.0

miss you blake!

[mediamannaman]

I listened to a half dozen barbershop quartets on youtube before I found this one - a real barbershop quartet! I pray your buddies return safely from overseas and appreciate their service.

[frankwestfriend]

Love it!

[IMMEEN]

Pretty sad that the quartet is spread out. I've looked around and this is by far the best preformance of this song on youtube. (In my opinion)

[Musicmaster874]

you guys did an awesome job. It is groups like you that are bringing back barbershop quartets

[412blast]

Thanks for all your comments. It has been more than 2 years since I've posted this video and we are still getting quite a few hits. I am working on getting another quartet together as all of the original members are off in other parts of the country and the world. In fact, Jonathan is serving overseas in the army. Justin and Blake are both pursuing music degrees. I am still here in Denver pursuing a degree in aviation and career as a pilot. Keep tuned in!

-Jeremy the Bass (blue)

[thorby1000]

@412blast awesome vid aviation congratz dude go hard im a pilot :) go commerical :)

[BrutusMcCrunch]

@412blast

Randomly stumbled upon this and it was excellent.Fantastic.

[curlyqgurl1]

[sautezFort]

Not bad. Few pitch issues. Little out of sync at times.

[BauraKale]

May the wind at your back always be your own.

[daoskillz]

Better than Beiber is all i can say!!

[FreeCreditReport1Fan]

Jeremy ansd Blake...deff. hotties ;) lol

[horseluvr911]

[PR122094]

[daklord]

time for you guys to be featured into Glee

[yoyogo13]

this is infinite times better than justin bieber :p

[nkr808]

i love when quartets add humor to their performance. It makes them more entertaining to watch and listen to.

[TheVidiotsAttack]

i'm interested in getting involved in this. how do i do that?

[rwellsda]

@TheVidiotsAttack Back in my day the : Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of BarberShop Quartet singing across America : Also known as S.P.E.B.S.Q.A.  was THE org' to sing with. They have since changed there name but can be researched under the spebsqa name online and will inform you of the current name and events coming up and available music. Long Live Four Part Harmony!!!!

[ElSheaO]

CHILLS the whole time! So amazing!

[rmv7213]

That was cool.

[mattcoolie14]

wow thats rockstar status, very impressive

[TexanDriver93]

That's awesome! I'm fixin to be 17 and sing bass and play trombone, but I don't know if I could hold that note for that long at all! Brilliant bass part! The others are great too!

[CultureShocktv1]

hahaha they used this in my music class to show us diffrent stuff!!!

[kohakufire16]

[serve4tennis]

amazing!

[gospelgreats07]

Excellent performance, guys.......no doubt the best high school barber shop quartet that I have seen on YouTube.......:)

[412blast]

Thanks alot it's just fun :)

[CivSi02]

@412blast I think the barbershop quartet is a fast dying breed. It's funny because, generally speaking, you'll really only see it among the older crowd. But you guys had the sound of a quartet who has been doing it for years. Are you guys going anywhere with this at all? The Irish one was beautiful. Very well done!

[tigerman4]

@CivSi02 ....do you know the average age of the new Barbershop Harmony Society members ?

the average age of new members is..... ready for this ????? 19 that's right.... 19.....not 90

thanks to quartets like OC-TImes and Vocal Spectrum

[RealityCek]

@gospelgreats07 really? check out "beginner's luck"

[MtotheJtotheT]

i think this is amazing... i can't stop watching it! Please take some time to watch my video haha... i had more but therssa long story why there gone... :) u guys are awesome though!

[MtotheJtotheT]

seriously! CAN"T STOP!!!!!

[Joseph5984]

The lead in this is really good

[T0m291189]

awesome

[Doopyd2]

you guys are amazing

[tecoomexicano]

Oh, man... I wanted so badly to be part of a barbershop quartet. You guys are amazing! Keep it up!

[2089may]

wow i look black lol

[RentBeatle]

wow very good :D

[JustinGipson]

the baritone seems VERY insecure in his voice...kinda shakey

[Chachabugergurl]

awesome!! 5 stars

[jyl3clover]

That was superb!

I wish to see more of your work!

[412blast]

Thanks this was our first attempt at barbershop. I hope to get another group together soon since we have all disbursed to different schools out of high school

[steelersfanhawaii]

the most beautiful thing about barbershop quartet is that all the intervals are PURE - nothing like hearing a pure major triad with a pure seventh added - WOW!!!

[Blackmore726]

impressive.

[connorb2884]

bass is brilliant

[412blast]

Thanks man

-Bass

[JoeClawsy]

Really good harmonies!!!

[mperry1225]

brings back good memories

[WackMackMormonMama]

Wow! That was wonderful!

[aznsk8r720]

fantastic tag!!!!!! loved it

[bocajman]

Stunning!

[flyboy664]

Good job guys. YOU GUYS ROCK!!

[chikaglow]

haha i liike!

[15btdunlap]

You all are amazing

[PayneFulMagic]

that was super good. :)

[sarahbearak20]

Wow, it's really nice.

[mainstreetmarshall]

WOW! just...WOW!

[BoneDaddyBassBone]

My friends, I approve. Who's who? As, who is wearing what color? And by the way, I want more....

[412blast]

Tenor red jonathon, Lead green blake, Bass blue jeremy (me), Baritone white justin. And thank you. Unfortunately our group only got together for a few performances before 3 of us graduated and went to different universities, maybe someday we'll get back together.

[BoneDaddyBassBone]

I've taken ear-training, and i must say, very very solid. Incredibly well done for a high school group. I myself play in trombone choirs and quartets all the time, so i have experience with these kinds of pieces. I'd actually like to see more if you have any. And if you ever do get back together.... 1 song request from a fan of yours...

When I'm 64, The Beatles. And you gets a fav, and 5/5

[412blast]

I would thank you for your critisism but that will not be the case in light of this rude comment.

[bryarworship]

I spy a mr. cutie in blue

[FloofCod4]

xD!!!! Nice!!!

[bigfootjrf81]

very good!! I love this song.

a few notes: Bass has a really great sound. Need more "together sound". That comes from your vowel shapes. Make sure you use the "er" placement, and really resonate!!

[zxcvbnm990]

I believe the "together sound" you're talking about would be called ensemble, and I agree. their sound is great but they're not totally in synch.

[beatler9]

that was intense..... lol

[bluehorizon5]

that short brown head is cute and has a great voice...

[Hillery1515]

nicceeeeee

[smytheandtaylor]

Just great guys!

[natygdm]

veeeeeeeeeeery pretty ^^

[boardingnollie]

very nice

[TurkeyJizzle]

I choose pistols at dawn.

[tigerman4]

tenor ran out of gas on the tag (Irish blessing).

Mary Lou , lead was flat most of the time , just a hair , but flat non the less.

phrases need to be longer , energy level needs to be higher , lift the notes , drive the song , and connect the phrases,breath support is a must and was not there.

[OscillatingEthmoid]

This is a pretty accurate evaluation, but let me point out a few things you guys did well. You're sound is good and clean (no strained voices). Although not a lot, you guys used dynamics--something most quartets seem to neglect altogether. You also ensured that a visual message was made part of the performance.

You guys are good, but tigerman4's suggestions about energy, connecting phrases, and breath support--from which lifting notes and driving the song stem--are quality advice.

[awalker413]

hey guys! great job! i hope you guys are still singing together, it takes awhile to get everything synced so keep working together and get your voices completely developed together! it'd be awesome if you could check out our quartet! Audio Avenue, let me know what you guys think!

Keep it up!

Sincerely,

Aaron Walker

Lead

Audio Avenue

[jg984507]

wow.. If my quartet were there.. we'd been weeping their butts off lol..

[412blast]

you'd be weeping? Don't cry! I'm just kidding haha we got this quartet together in 4 short rehearsals at the leads house. It was fun

[BreakdownsAreLove]

You guys own. Amazing. My voice is so low, but I wouldn't ever have the guts to ever do this. :)

[highnote32]

Amazing harmony. I never had that in high school.

[Hovsy]

great job! is that the David Wright arrangement of Hello Mary Lou?

[412blast]

I think it is but ill check to make sure

[amarinesgirl709]

WOW! that was awesome! great harmonies! Nice job holding that note at the end, bass! impressive

[LeanHungryMike]

Lovely, lyrical song.

[euphonium05]

i'm impressed

[Team503]

You have fantastic inflection and excellent volume control - I wish you all the best in your careers!

PS - Green shirt is cute.

[afcurt]

these guys a good period

[Sbock3]

bass, you are fuckin awesome man - I must say, I really loved your version of Mary Lou...especially the fact that you guys added your own fun take on the arrangement. I'm starting a quartet this month hopefully, and I hope that was can sound as good as you guys (im about your age)

[ManlySlut]

Jeremy (Bass) and Johnathon (Tenor) are awesome, but I hate to say I didn't like the other two. I mean you were awesome but if you're not together anymore, Bass and Tenor are the two to keep.

[ma473rieke]

I really like your interpretation and hope that everyone of you will find some new guys to sing with. perhaps you meet for christmas and could do as a favor and record some more ;)

[Thomasj0051]

OUTSTANDING

For your ages and experience, you are just great!

Keep posting.

Thomasj0051

[412blast]

Thank you. Unfortunately we are not together anymore due to us being at schools over an hour away from each other.. Ill be starting one with some vocal majors at my school and well post some videos.

Jeremy (bass)

[ManlySlut]

That's a real shame, I'd love to hear more songs.

[sazlasung]

Brilliantly Wonderful!! Congratulations on a great performance!!

[carohoock]

Awesome! You sound great :)
