Friday Factoid

On selected Fridays, The A Cappella Blog publishes a fact, statistic or piece of history from collegiate a cappella. We welcome readers to share their own bits of uncommon knowledge, or to pose questions if there's a Friday Factoid they'd like to see.

For those of who are fans of both a cappella and NBC comedy The Office, there are few more amusing spectacles than Ed Helms’s Andy Bernard, the a cappella singing Cornell alum, who adds a unique somethin’-somethin’ to the office. Helm himself is alumnus of a collegiate a cappella group—The Oberlin College Obertones from Ohio. Helms was a member of the class of 1996.

The Obertones were founded in 1984 and are still active today.
