@@aliaebbert8400 Oh my gosh, I found out yesterday and... argh! Who was the top 5? Signature, probably Thowback somewhere in there... Lemon Squeezy didn't compete this year... who got medals?
I think what I enjoy most, even more than their flexibility between parts, is the fact that these guys are having a lot of fun doing this. I imagine they had to work on this routine for many hours before getting it just right, .. but then in this performance it comes off as being effortless. Great job.
Can anyone appreciate the amount of key changes they did during the song? A normal choir would require a ton of practice to even change one key throughout the song. Given that they're just four people, one cannot underestimate their amazing musical talents, especially on this song.
+ deebleu carpeso *Does* a normal choir require a ton of practice to even change one key during a song? This hasn't been my experience at all. My high school choir ( and jazz choir) did performances that included multiple key changes. In fact, under the same music director we did key-changes in middle school chorus performances. As long as everybody is listening carefully and can sing in-tune, a key-change shouldn't present any difficulty!
shush, you two; all of them did a lot better than many actual basses I've known. --Dave, I KNOW why I can't sing bass: I have the notes but not the power. Luckily bari fits me perfectly.
I mean, Kohl has sung bass in other quartets before IC, and he’s done multitracks, so I’m sure he actually holds his weight on bass when not in a facetious environment.
@@glowco.717 I'm 3 years late, but Kohl can sing some solid bass! Having sang with him at contest and heard his learning tracks, I can def say he can sing bass. He jokes for the song.
Exactly! Funny thing, too, I had just completed listening to a THX compilation a little while before hearing this... I wonder if that's how I found this.
@@abra-ca-tyler5875 you saved my life. I have to pull some together real quick with my quartet and we are gonna do this! Really needed the sheet music man!
The slide at the end sorta reminds me of the THX intros in the old cassettes 💀💀 All jokes aside, this arrangement is something I will never forget. So glad that Barbershop exists for these talented ppl to share their voices with the world 😊😊
The moment I read the title I knew this was going to be a take on “You Gotta Have Heart” from Damn Yankees and I am not at all disappointed with their rendition. Just Brilliant!
I've loved barbershop quartet ever since I first heard "The Music Man" LP album back in the 60's. It just seems like the guys have so much fun singing! Remember the "Buffalo Bills?"
They are brilliant can’t fault them at all the blend the richness of the lead the solid bass not this song it was fun but they’re general competition songs that got them the gold When I ist heard them I think they finished second or third I thought they are gold in the making
@@paddy_black I think Dad Wagon disbanded, but yeah, that would be pretty dope! And I was looking at IC's bios, and Theo and Kyle _are_ dads, so it would fit (also David is engaged, yay, good for him!).
Thanks. I'll never unsee Linus in this now. xD I wonder what an LTT Barbershop Quartet would sound like... I mean, I am sure Anthony has got to have an amazing singing voice, judging from his normal voice.
I actually asked him if I could buy the arrangement a few years ago and he said he didn't have the napkin anymore and that was literally the only place it was written lol
I just think everything about that was amazing... and the BLEND! Holy Smokes :D I'm having my chorus switch parts this week...this will be a great capper to the lesson.
Hahaha in high school choir I begged day and night to be switched to baratone or bass. Man am I glad my teacher kept me in tenor 1 really kept me on my toes.
AMAZING TALENT. These kinds of groups deserve 1000% more credit and HUGE audiences. Some people are too hooked on "popular" garbage music to find good wholesome REAL talent like these guys.
Although I get what you're wanting to say, putting down music you don't like as garbage is simply not something you should do. Music is topical, not factual. Its not right or wrong. Just because someone doesn't like what you like doesn't mean what they like is "garbage"
His name is Kohl Kitzmiller. Left to right: Kohl Kitzmiller Kyle Kitzmiller (older brother of Kohl) Theo Hicks David Zimmerman Yeah, baritones always get way into dance moves and choreography. They also steal the show whenever possible. It's awesome.
It's Theo taking his part, the descending half-steps he does would be something a baritone usually sings, I could be mistaken ofc, but that's what it looks like to me.
I was VERY uncomfortable with the donation process associated with this video so I want on a search and found a barbershop group near me (a little over a hundred miles away from my home). I was able to contact them and get to their fb page. They are currently offering a singing Valentine for people in their area. I was able to order this for my daughter and granddaughter and donate to their group at the same time!
Knock knock

Anyone else realize at 4:13 that’s the bass hitting that really high note for that whole segment? Lmao
Not until I read this and went back to watch it.
Wow that was incredible
spoiler alert.
Instant classic is actually just 4 tenors.
Homestuck number.

Key changes are really easy when you know your part
I tried playing bass note accompaniment for the chords throughout the song and almost all of the time they were like spot on 😲
I often get the impression that Theo is just an incredibly overworked dad, dealing with his three really crappy sons. I believe in you Theo.
Thanks for believing in me .
High school choir directors, amirite?
I could listen to David announcing a song all day
It takes all day as well.

Dominus Alicorn a thx compilation? Please send me.
It's even in Bb holy shit...
SgtMorninWood AHAHAHAHAHA LEGEND
Kohl's dancing is hilarious. It's ALWAYS the baris who get way too much into the choreography. I love it.
It's the only way a Bari is going to get noticed. No one can pick our part out, so we gotta get visual recognition.
The interval between the lead and the bass at 2:55 is crazy in tune. It’s so perfect
I love the parts where they pitch slide to the resolves chord. So satisfying
Imagine what the sheet music for this one would look like...
I couldn't possibly
Probably not on just a cafe napkin.

Baseball may never be the same.
Oh I didn't even know!
My dad was a tenor and he would’ve laughed his butt off at this!! Gave me chills! ❤
Definitely read this as "gotta change pants" so when they said parts I was like ah this makes sense and it was amazing!
I LOVE this. Their facial expressions and reactions to various things that happen are hilarious and they absolutely nail the tag!
02:07 Overtones all over the place!!! Brilliant!!!
Absolutely terrific!😆 Those who don't sing probably don't how difficult that is and how good that was !
Oh my god!!!! The finale was unexpected !!!!! All those weird up and downs in order to finish in a perfect strong chord ... amazing !!!!!!!

2:08!!! Oof! That harmony! DAMN!
One of Instant Classic’s best arrangements!!!
Everyone goin' crazy over David but what about Kyle's extended high note at like 4:14
They are brilliant can’t fault them at all the blend the richness of the lead the solid bass not this song it was fun but they’re general competition songs that got them the gold
When I ist heard them I think they finished second or third I thought they are gold in the making
They finished in 8th, then won next year. They have only gold medals (and collegiate silvers) from Internationals.
In the beginning I was a little "meh", but then towards the end...chills. beautiful, truly
They look like scout boys lmao 😂😂
They look like a bunch of dads. All they need is a grill and some socks and sandals.
@@lifeontheledgerlines8394 we had Dad Wagon for that, they should team up 😂
@@paddy_black I think Dad Wagon disbanded, but yeah, that would be pretty dope! And I was looking at IC's bios, and Theo and Kyle _are_ dads, so it would fit (also David is engaged, yay, good for him!).
I like how the one that’s singing the changed part steps up to the mike to sing it.
Absolutely fabulous tie in at the end. BZ Gents.
When did Linus Sebastian get tall and join a barbershop quartet?
Thanks. I'll never unsee Linus in this now. xD
I wonder what an LTT Barbershop Quartet would sound like... I mean, I am sure Anthony has got to have an amazing singing voice, judging from his normal voice.
@@IngwiePhoenix_nb I never quite saw it like that, but it would be interesting.
To be fair Linus seems like the type to join a barbershop quartet
The best Version on TH-cam! I love Instant Classic!
"You Gotta Change Parts, arr. Kyle Kitzmiller (on a napkin)"
I guess it's true then...
Kyle does some great arrangements. Gotta admit that!
I actually asked him if I could buy the arrangement a few years ago and he said he didn't have the napkin anymore and that was literally the only place it was written lol
Darn, would love to try it with my quartet
I thought it was with a chisel on some bark?
@@chasroth lmaoooo
Love it!! Thanks for the laugh and awesome glissandos! 👍
Holy harmonies batman !!!
This song has special meaning to me. You guys have kicked out up yet another notch. Thank you!
Also, switching places kept me on my toes!
Sorry it won't let me post more than one thumbs-up! Outstanding!
they hit us with that THX theme at the end
I grew up with barbershop, these fellas epitomize the adorable, lovable, dorkiness that is the barbershop quartet. 💗
They were so good throughout and still saved the best for last! Great great group!
And this is why I love barbershop!
Everytime I listen to this song from Instant Classic it puts a smile on my face!!! 😀😀😀🎶🎶🎶🎶🎤🎤🎤🎤
This deserves more views
Theo, you reminded me so much of your dad in this video! I’m so glad TH-cam randomly brought this up for me.
I just think everything about that was amazing... and the BLEND! Holy Smokes :D I'm having my chorus switch parts this week...this will be a great capper to the lesson.
That's got to be the most complex and difficult tag my ears have ever heard! Jaw still on floor. All I can say is, Yoinks!
This is the greatest thing I've ever heard.
Oh man, I love the THX logo
Love it!
They're ADORABLE!!!!! (and GOOD!!!!)
I love this!
Love this version!
this taught me so much about barbershop
Hahaha in high school choir I begged day and night to be switched to baratone or bass. Man am I glad my teacher kept me in tenor 1 really kept me on my toes.
So much charisma in this video, amazing haha
The best version.
Holy shit this almost made me cry on that last chord because it was so good
wow, that ending was excellent and so very skillful!
They have such great pitch...and they enjoy it so much...seems to make sense to me ...a baritone who became a tenor. Very very clever
2:01 When you have to improvise a breathe take xDDDDDD smooth
I can never tell if Theo is having fun or genuinely annoyed.... o_O
Hahaha thanks for clearing that up. I remember attending one of your workshops back in 2012 and it was very inspiring.
this awesome
Ok Zimmerman..those notes OUCH Im lucky to hit the Bari notes. WELL WELL WELL done.
That was FAN FN TASTIC!! Great job fellas!
OMG! Incredible!
This was quite inspiring for some reason.
This is wicked!

What a wonderful sound,
I like that "Thank you Steve" at 2:49. (I'm assuming a spouse ). That was adorable.
That was for Steve Scott, a vocal teacher, not a spouse. Theo is married to Laura.
Fantastic!!!
great!
4:28 THX
Love this!!!!
Damn I love this.
What's the sound in 4:25 called?
Trying to reach a resolution chord sound
Brilliant!
It's almost 1am and I've got work in a few hours buT OH WELL
Really well done!
I never understood the joke in Theo's "He's the baritone" after Kohl's solo. Can someone explain ?
It's Theo taking his part, the descending half-steps he does would be something a baritone usually sings, I could be mistaken ofc, but that's what it looks like to me.
Pretty amazing.
What are they saying at 1:20?
"Singing bass can be grand, have hooooooope"
4:22 vocal shepards tone???
Well done.
Fantastic!! :')
