Microsoft A Capella Act Taking It To Nationals!
While it may not score them points at their next performance review, the men of Microsoft’s a cappella group, the Baudboys, have met their goal.
About five years ago, the programmers-cum-pop singers started reinventing their sound with an eye on the Harmony Sweepstakes, billed as the “premier American showcase for vocal harmony music.”
They won the Northwest regional event and will compete Saturday in the national tournament in California.
The group, which split off from another company group called the Microtones in the early 1990s, performed to a packed atrium on the corporate campus Wednesday.
“How cool for Microsoft to have something like that coming from within the ranks,” said Shari Fowler, an employee who spent her lunch hour watching the concert.
No comment.
