The Jabberwocks is an all-male a cappella group at Brown University. It is the oldest a cappella group at Brown. The Jabberwocks began in 1949 as an offshoot of the traditional Men's Glee Club when four members decided to start their own independent singing group. In 1956, Brown Music Department chair Arlan Coolidge, frustrated that the group was getting bookings that would otherwise have gone to the Glee Club, referred to the Jabberwocks as "a misguided small group of students whose product is a type of vaudeville."〔 The original Jabberwocks, a double quartet, "wore grey flannel suits, white button-down oxford shirts, striped ties and white buck shoes, and travelled to out-of-town concerts in a 1928 Rolls Royce." The group went coed in 1971, temporarily disappeared in 1975, was resurrected in 1980, and survived a brief period in the mid-1980s when some singers tried to take the group professional. Over the decades the group's repertoire has ranged from 1950s doo-wop, to Motown to contemporary pop.〔 ==Awards== *1993, ''Freedom '90'' (song), Runner up, Best Male Collegiate Song〔(【引用サイトリンク】 1993 Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award Winners )〕 *2006, International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella regional quarterfinals, second place〔(【引用サイトリンク】Wocks take second at a cappella competition )〕 *2010, International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella's Northeast semifinals, second place〔(【引用サイトリンク】Jabberwocks, Higher Keys compete at MIT )〕 *2010, ''Breaking & Entering'' (album) nominated for the 2010 Contemporary A cappella Recording Awards in three categories.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 2010 Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award Nominees )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jabberwocks」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
