Founded in 1893, the Purdue Varsity Glee Club is one of the proudest and richest traditions of Purdue University and the State of Indiana. With integrity, passion, unparalleled showmanship and attention to every detail, the men of the Glee Club represent different backgrounds and hometowns across the country, consistently maintaining a high level of academic excellence with majors ranging from engineering to education. The Glee Club has inspired audiences around the world with performance tours to Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, China, the United Kingdom and South Africa. Last May, the Glee Club embarked on its tenth European tour with appearances in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and France culminating with a performance at Notre Dame Cathedral. This dynamic musical troupe employs a versatile repertoire including gospel, vocal jazz, swing, contemporary hits, romantic ballads, classical choral selections, barbershop, folk melodies, patriotic standards, familiar opera choruses, country and novelty tunes, and utilizes small groups and outstanding soloists to further enhance each show. Under the direction of William E. Griffel, the Purdue Varsity Glee Club continues to share a sound all its own through one-of-a-kind arrangements in tailor-made performances for audiences of all ages.
