Historical note
The Varsity Singers was an entertainment group established in 1971 by director John Clark and made up of students from across academic disciplines at Michigan Tech. The group performed a wide range of musical numbers from jazz and rock to funk and other contemporary styles, usually accompanied by a piano, drums, and guitars. While they initially performed on campus and locally within the Copper Country, they expanded to regional and national tours with concerts throughout parts of Lower Michigan as well as into states such as Wisconsin, Colorado, and Indiana. When not on the road, the Singers performed at Michigan Tech as well as local high schools.
