LEXINGTON, Ky.\u2014Kristofer Olson wants to make one thing clear\u2014this isn\u2019t your grandfather\u2019s barbershop quartet. \u201cThe popular misconception is that barbershop harmony is sung only by old guys in straw hats and striped jackets,\u201d Olson says. \u201cThe fact of the matter is, there is such an exciting and growing youth population in barbershop.\u201d Take Olson, for instance, a senior music major at Transylvania, who proudly claims to be \u201ca 22-year-old guy who loves barbershop quartets.\u201d<\/p>\n

His love led him to attend a weeklong set of master classes this past summer through Harmony University, a series taught by the best people in the barbershop business \u2013 the best quartets, solo singers, and directors.A place where, Olson emphasizes, \u201cyou will not see a straw hat anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

The program, sponsored by the Barbershop Harmony Society, took place in St. Joseph, Mo., from July 26 to August 2, and was an opportunity for burgeoning barbershop singers to hone their craft alongside peers from more than seven countries. The overall experience was what Olson calls, \u201cone of the most fun and intense weeks I\u2019ve had as a singer.\u201d He particularly relished the ability to not only learn from genre masters, but apply his new a cappella knowledge to his other focuses in his major. \u201cI can think of few other fields where this is possible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Among the classes Olson took were \u201cElements of Coaching\u201d with Mark Hale and \u201cHow to be a Great Bass\u201d with Tom Metzger. Both teachers are coaches of and singers in national award-winning barbershop groups O.C. Times and Realtime, respectively. Olson also enjoyed the aggressively-named \u201cTune It or Die\u201d class, which dealt with the science behind a cappella note structure. The class was taught by Joe Liles, a legend in the barbershop world, some of whose arrangements have been performed by the Transy Boys A Cappella (TBA). <\/p>\n

TBA, of which Olson is currently the music director, is in its fourth year of existence as one of the campus\u2019 premiere vocal groups. Given his new responsibilities, Olson chose his classes at Harmony University based on their applicability to the Transy program. He has high hopes for TBA currently, claiming that \u201cthe group has never been this good at the start of the year before,\u201d something he attributes to good organization and an even better group of singers \u2013 ten men, including two first-years. In years past, TBA performed three or four gigs a year, that filled lobbies at best. More recently, they accompanied the Transylvania Choir on a tour of Europe and sang the national anthem at the May 2008 Hillary Clinton presidential rally in Transylvania\u2019s Beck Center. Olson says they plan to fill Carrick Theater to standing room only this May, repeating the success of last year\u2019s annual show.<\/p>\n

TBA has also been performing original arrangements, composed mainly by Olson and fellow senior Joshua Motley of Ezel, Ky. Their goal is to record a ten-track CD of these arrangements by April, with the assistance of new music technology professor Tim Polashek. <\/p>\n

\u201cFew campus organizations have committed to a goal like this,\u201d says Olson, and \u201cat the least they\u2019ll make great stocking-stuffers.\u201d TBA hopes to eventually sell their finished album in the Transy bookstore. <\/p>\n

Olson has invested a lot in TBA, and though he is thrilled to see it pay off, the moment is bittersweet. \u201cThe group has really gelled well this year, even though it\u2019s a transitional year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Next year will be the first to feature no original members of the organization, which leaves a burden on the shoulders of the current underclassmen. It\u2019s a burden Olson is confident they can carry, citing excellent leadership from even the newest members. He would love for the group to reach past the level of recognition enjoyed by University of Kentucky neighbors, The Acousticats, and he thinks \u201cwe have the voices and the leadership to do it.\u201d Olson reminds the Lexington community that \u201cTBA is always up for hire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Olson finds no greater joy than singing, and one day teaching, \u201cthe kind of stuff that gives audiences goosebumps.\u201d If Harmony University honed his skills, Transylvania University has given him the outlet to use them. Of his experience, he says, \u201cI will graduate from Transy knowing that being a part of TBA has been one of the best things to ever happen to me, and I want the group to be successful enough that the young people in it now can say the same thing.\u201d <\/p>\n

He needn\u2019t worry. The future looks harmonious, both for him and for TBA.<\/p>\n
