Yale University’s Whiffenpoofs, a male a cappella group, performed for Newtown High School students during two assemblies on Wednesday, February 4.

NHS Principal Laurie Rodrigue said when introducing the group, the Whiffenpoofs are the most well-known and celebrated collegiate a cappella group.

“We are so very honored to have them with us,” said Dr Rodrigue, who also thanked the high school’s PTSA for supporting the program.

The group performed for students in each grade level at the school during the two assemblies. Songs performed included “The Boxer,” “You Are the Sunshine of My Life,” and “I’ll Be Seeing You.”

“Awesome or what?” Dr Rodrigue said at the end of the first assembly.

Video from one of the day's performances was uploaded to YouTube by  Nathalie de Brantes, NHS assistant to the principal, and is available here.
