The Hangovers (Cornell University)
The Hangovers are a men's collegiate a cappella ensemble based at Cornell University. Founded in 1968, they are the official a cappella subset of the Cornell University Glee Club,〔(Summary of the Hangovers' connection with the Cornell University Glee Club ) at the Glee Club's web site.〕 the oldest student organization at Cornell University.〔(Hangovers Perform Across Europe ), (The Cornell Daily Sun ), 8/26/2002.〕 The Hangovers' repertoire consists mainly of popular songs arranged for the ensemble by its members and alumni, but the group also performs traditional Cornell songs,〔("Keeping Cornell's Traditions Alive," ) ''(The Cornell Daily Sun )'', 10/14/2003.〕 as well as selections from the Glee Club repertoire on occasion.〔(Hangovers' Frequently Asked Questions page ) at (hangovers.com )〕
The Hangovers have competed in international competitions such as the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella, advancing to the semifinals in 2001. The Hangovers can be heard on the PBS American Experience documentary "Rescue at Sea."〔(The Hangovers credited for performing on PBS' ''American Experience: Rescue At Sea'' ) performing "Jack Binns", a song written by a member of the Hangovers and recorded for the show.〕 The Hangovers have performed for Helmut Schmidt, the widow of Anwar Sadat, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, Gerald Ford, Henry Kissinger, Cornell alumna Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and other notables.
==History==
The group's name is taken from the name that was given to fifth-year students in Cornell's five-year architecture and engineering programs of the '60s. After their fourth (senior) year, students in these programs had to ''hang over'' an additional year to complete their degrees. Several of the group's original members were "hangovers" in this sense at the time of the group's formation, hence the name.〔(A brief history of the Hangovers ), from (hangovers.com )〕〔("Drunk With Talent: This Saturday you'll have a most pleasant hangover" ), ''(The Cornell Daily Sun )'', November 15, 2000.〕 The double entendre of the more widely accepted meaning of the word is intentional, and is a theme carried on in the titles of the ensemble's concerts〔〔(The 25 Most Influential ), ''(The Cornell Daily Sun )'', 11/29/2000. The article discusses the endeavors of Sam Bradford '02, then-president of the Hangovers.〕 and albums.〔(The Hangovers Recordings page ) at (hangovers.com )〕〔(The Recorded A Cappella Review Board review ) of the Hangovers album ''Blackout''〕
Having been established over 45 years ago, the Hangovers are the second-oldest active a cappella ensemble at Cornell University. (A previous Glee Club subset, the Cayuga's Waiters, split from the Glee Club in 1956 and still exists today as an independent ensemble.)
