The UC Men's Octet is an eight member a cappella singing group comprised of some of the finest male singers at The University of California at Berkeley.  Founded in 1948, the Octet has entertained audiences around the world with its unique mesh of close harmonies and zany stage antics.  Dazzling fans with wide repertoire of barbershop, doo-wop, contemporary pop, modern alternative, and of course, fight songs, the group has released dozens of recordings over the years.  The Octet is also the only two-time champion of the International Competition of Collegiate A Cappella. 

The group has performed for audiences around the world, having toured the United States, Europe, Australia, Club Med, Shanghai, and most recently, New York. We have regular performances on campus and around the Bay Area for alumni groups and the public, culminating in our annual Spring Show. That having been said, our most important performances are held on Sproul Plaza each Wednesday at one o'clock in front of our greatest fans, the Cal students.
