This FRIDAY - Yale Whiffenpoofs Musicale in Pan's Garden

Friday, March 7, 2014
4pm
Musicale: Yale Whiffenpoofs
Pan's Garden
Free to public

Each year, 14 senior Yale men are selected to be in the Whiffenpoofs, the world's best known a cappella group. Made famous by their signature "Whiffenpoof Song," (which has since been covered by artists like Elvis Presley, Bing Crosby, and Rudy Vallee), the 'Whiffs' carry forward their century-old tradition each year with over two hundred performances in such venues as Carnegie Hall, Broadway's Lincoln Center, and the Rose Bowl. They have been featured on television shows such as NBC's The Sing Off, The West Wing, The Today Show, 60 Minutes, Gilmore Girls, Jeopardy!, Saturday Night Live, and most recently on the Season 4 finale of the hit television show Glee. Last year, the Whiffenpoofs sang for President Obama at the White House and toured to over twenty-five countries on six continents.

Pan's Garden is located in Palm Beach between Chilean and Peruvian Avenues; one block north of Worth Avenue. From I-95, take the Okeechobee Boulevard East exit and travel on Okeechobee Boulevard through the city of West Palm Beach. Cross the Intracoastal Waterway via the Royal Park Bridge (Okeechobee Boulevard becomes Royal Palm Way once on the island of Palm Beach) onto Royal Palm Way. Travel east on Royal Palm Way to Hibiscus Avenue. Turn right (south) onto Hibiscus and proceed three blocks. The main gate of Pan's Garden is located at 386 Hibiscus Avenue, just past the Chilean Avenue intersection.
