The East Side Boys

The East Side Boys have been together since June 2009 singing a variety of songs ranging from recent hits to golden oldies to gospel. We have performed on chorus shows in September 2009 and May 2010, as well as numerous other venues. The East Side Boys always leave an audience with a smile on their face and a song in their heart.

Maney Park

One of the primary missions of The Maney Park Quartet is to strive at all times for excellence in entertainment and artistic singing. This foursome is one of the newer quartets around, but within the space of a year has already reached a performance level high enough to get them to a seventh place finish (out of 35 groups) in their first 5-state contest.

The quartet's namesake is a fantastic getaway hidden in the heart of Oklahoma City. Tied closely with the Grandison at Maney Park Bed and Breakfast (their tenor is a second generation innkeeper), this group literally started entertaining the moment they were formed. Their first rehearsal was in the music parlor at the bed and breakfast, and two guests came downstairs asking "where is that great music coming from?".

With Maney Park, you can be assured of quality singing, a professional performance, and a smile as four guys pour their hearts into their sound.

The School Bored Four

The School Bored Four is a barbershop quartet formed in 1987. We sang without a name until our first performance for a retiring school superintendant. Since our bass singer is a former elementary school principal, our baritone singer’s wife is a school food service manager, our tenor’s wife is an elementary school counselor, and our lead singer drove by a school once, the name invented itself.

We hope the tuxedos indicate we are serious about singing well and singing musically, and the tennis shoes balance that seriousness with the intent to engage our audiences with humor and a good time. Through the years we have sung primarily in the Oklahoma City area with occasional trips to other parts of the state. From private gatherings needing a thirty-minute show to basketball arenas standing for the national anthem, from singing Valentines in Lowe’s Hardware to Jingle Bells in the shopping mall, from wedding services to radio commercials, the School Bored Four has entertained thousands and enjoyed every single minute.
