Changes

Like most of the a cappella groups on campus, GQ has a group song, which it uses to officially end every rehearsal and that is sung as the penultimate song at every concert (with hand motions!). The group wanted a song that would be upbeat, short, and "straight up ridiculous," which reflected the group dynamic then and now. In 19981997, Adam Bloom '99 came up with the idea of doing a Janis Joplin song in "barbershop quartet style," and Mercedes Benz spoke to him as reflecting the song qualities that GQ wanted. The rest, of course, is history.
