Men In Black

about

The 2005 International Collegiate Quartet Champions, Men in Black, were formed in 2001. Originally students of the Hart School of music, Tony Nasto, Oliver Merrill, Ray Johnson and Karl Hudson have become much more than a college quartet. It is no coincidence that these four gentlemen from various musical backgrounds have joined together to create the unique, youthful sound and personality of Men In Black. Their passion and drive for barbershop music has led them to four district collegiate champion awards: the 2005 NED District gold medal, NED Award for Novice Quartet, ICCA Second Place Semifinalist (New England Region) and the 2005 gold medal as the International Collegiate Quartet Champions. Men In Black have competed in the MBNA America Collegiate Barbershop Quartet Contest since 2002 where they ranked last out of 21 quartets. Through their loss grew a determination to learn the art of barbershop music, jumping to thirteenth in 2003, an astonishing eighth in 2004 and accepting first place in 2005, recording the second highest collegiate score. As members of the Northeastern District, Men In Black have been repeated participants in the Harmony Explosion Events, NED workshops, clinics and multiple chapter shows. Their unprecedented win has allowed them to expand outside the Northeastern District, sharing their talent with audiences throughout the society. Men In Black are also the 2007 Harmony Sweepstakes Boston champions. User-contributed text is available under the Crea
