The UC Men's Octet is an eight(ish) member a cappella singing group comprised of the finest singers at the University of California, Berkeley. Founded in 1948, the Octet has entertained audiences around the world with its unique mesh of close harmonies and zany stage antics. Dazzling fans with wide repertoire of barbershop, doo-wop, contemporary pop, modern alternative, and of course, Cal fight songs, the group has released dozens of recordings over the years.

The Octet has shined on the biggest stages, winning the International Competition of Collegiate A Cappella twice. The group has performed for audiences around the world, having toured the United States, Europe, Australia, Indonesia, and China. They have regular performances on campus and around the Bay Area for alumni groups and the public, culminating in their annual Spring Show.

That being said, their most important performances are held on Sproul Plaza each Wednesday at one o'clock in front of their greatest fans, the Cal students.
