The all-male Williams Octet is the oldest a cappella group at Williams College, founded in 1941 by the illustrious Warren Hunke.
The Fall concert 2005 featured song, dance, nerf warfare, two recorders played simultaneously, apocalyptic language, and the now-famous Kang hug.
Here are the YouTube links to the Spring 2008 End-of-year concert video, PLANET OCTET
You may think all a cappella is the same, however...
Helpful distinguishing features of the Octet:
--We don't sing at our parties. (debatable...)
--We don't wear dresses (on stage).
