The legendary OU Glee Club traces its origins to the earliest days of the University of Oklahoma. Indeed, some of the first football games in the late 1890s were played in conjunction with the presentations by the oratorical society and performances by the Glee Club in the territorial capital of Guthrie. In 1903, the first dean of the College of Fine Arts, Gustaf Holmberg brought the Glee Club into the School of Music, transitioning the group from a student-led club to a faculty-led academic ensemble. As such, the OU Glee Club boasts itself as the oldest musical ensemble at OU, and most likely, in the State of Oklahoma. The OU Glee Club is comprised of both undergraduate and graduate students representing a wide variety of majors, through competitive audition. The Glee Club regularly performs traditional collegiate glee club repertoire, contemporary male choral works, and OU spirit songs at various events on and off campus including football and basketball games. In 2023, the Glee Club released an album of OU spirit songs for the first time since 1988. Fight for OKU: The Legendary OU Men’s Glee Club, is available on all streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music. The Glee Club has performed across the USA and in Austria and The Republic of Ireland.
