Vocal percussion can be distinctly heard at the beginning of the new TV ad for Dairy Queen Blizzards. The ad features somewhat scary animated lips beatboxing.

Beware Adelines Bearing Sweets

SAN ANTONIO, TX -- Oh, sure, female barbershop quartets sound harmless ...

Come on, I know I’m not the only one imagining a glazed pastry army, with each phyllo-dough soldier of Stay-Puft Marshmallow proportions.

Although some readers may consider Sweet Adelines International to be proportionately scary (the nonprofit organization is composed of female barbershop enthusiasts), its members are interested in more than just 4-part chords. In 2005 they raised 75,000 dollars for the Hurricane Katrina Relief effort. As committed to global harmony as vocal harmony, the Sweet Adelines are described on their website as “a worldwide organization of women singers committed to advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony through education and performance.” Yeah, this article would be so much better with a sound bite.

SPRINGFIELD, MA -- Singing in the third oldest collegiate a cappella group in the country, the Colgate Thirteen, has opened doors for 19-year-old Taylor Street resident Andrew G. Krulewitz.

It has taken him to the nation's capital, where the group sang before about 80,000 people at a Washington Red Skins game in Fedex Field.

"Singing the national anthem at Fedex Field was probably the best moment of my first year (in college)," said the sophomore at Colgate University in Hamilton, N.Y., during a recent interview at his home.
