The RIT Brick City Singers (BCS) is an all-male a cappella group at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).

History

Legendary. Epic. Toothpaste. None of these words can accurately capture the awe-inspiring power of the Brick City Singers.

It all began in the winter quarter of the 1999-2000 school year. The guys had come together through RIT's large chorale group, the RIT Singers, to form a smaller group interested in a cappella music. Armed with little more than a quick wit and a desire to sing music without accompaniment, the newly formed Brick City Singers set out to attempt something never done before at RIT.

At the winter concert that February, the Brick City Singers debuted something so new that it blew everyone away. A cappella versions of “I Want It That Way” (originally by the Backstreet Boys) and “Faith” (originally by George Michaels; later performed by the then-popular alternative rock band Limp Bizkit) quickly became the first BCS hits as the Boys added a little choreography and their own personal charm. With the love of an enthusiastic audience, BCS felt they had found their calling – and the rest is history. Ever since the Brick City Singers have been pushing boundaries, wowing audiences, attempting the impossible, and having fun along the way.
