Origin of the T-Tones
The T-Tones were a close-harmony singing group that began in 1952 originally as an octet that extended out from the Schools Glee Club. The group received their name after spending a large portion of their time performing in the Tea House. Beginning in 1957, the T-Tones began playing at Glee Club Concerts as special guests. The group consisted of fifteen students until they became completely independent of the Glee Club and admission was reduced to eleven. The group was also noted for writing and recording an album of their own work in New York City on November 6 and 7, 1967
