The beginnings of the Melodores are humble. A group of four guys sitting at a table on a brisk April night, discussing what it would be like to start an a cappella group at a school who had seemed to have forgotten the beauty of the art. A summer flurry of E-mails to potential members. A first performance before a crowd of over a thousand people. A whirlwind autumn audition process. And, finally, on September 9th, 2009, the first rehearsal with the first generation of The Vanderbilt Melodores.
The group grew from four, to nine, to fourteen in the fall, and finally sixteen full members in the Spring of 2010. It lost a few members along the way, and gained a few more. It strived, competed, failed, failed again, learned, and improved. In May of 2010, its first members graduated, and passed their dream to younger men. The Melodores gained a history, a past, and, because of that past, a future.
