52eighty

52eighty is Denver's newest men's youth a cappella chorus, made up of young men from Sound of the Rockies, the Longs Peak Chorus and the Denver MountainAires. Other non-Barbershop Harmony Society members are students from local high schools, colleges and universities and travel as far as Flagstaff, Ariz. to participate in rehearsals.

Formed in late 2008, 52eighty was thrilled to take 2nd place in their first International Youth Chorus Competition with only a 19-point margin between them and the Northwest Vocal Project, and then taking gold in Tampa. Directors are Chris Vaughn, Lead of the 2004 International Champion Quartet Gotcha!, and Matt Swann, Baritone of the 1999 Collegiate Quartet Champion HEAT.
