Vocal Point
From MormonWiki
Vocal Point is a nine-member, all-male a cappella singing group at Brigham Young University. Members move through the group as they graduate and move on. As of 2010, only two members of the group were music majors.
- Keith Evans, a current member and tenor in Vocal Point, said, "Some of us didn't even do choir in high school. It's interesting to see nine guys just come out of the woodwork, from social science, engineering, medical and law majors, and meld together into this singing group that does amazing, wholesome, incredible things." [1]
Allowing the gospel to mesh them together, Vocal Point members are the best of friends. Their tight harmonies and beat-boxing, and their general fun-loving demeanor, add to the charm of their performances.
- Vocal Point is now part of the BYU School of Music and one of 18 performing groups sponsored by the university. It is the most-requested performing group at BYU and regularly performs to sold-out crowds on and off campus. Members of Vocal Point devote over 20 hours of time to the group each week. They do not receive scholarships or other compensation for their time. The group performs for over 50,000 people each year, regularly selling out shows weeks in advance. Vocal Point is currently under the direction of Buck Mangum, the group’s fifth director.
