The McCalpin brothers (Will '08 and Matt '10), both members of Princeton's all-male a cappella group, the Tigertones, have had a busy fall, singing at venues ranging from an NFL stadium to the White House.
Below is a video of the group singing the national anthem before a San Diego Chargers football game in October. (Matt is standing third from left in a red tie; Will is standing seventh from left in a red tie.)
