Recordings by: Virginia Military Institute Glee Club

The VMI Glee Club originated in the 1930s from a group of cadets who gathered to sing on the stoops of VMI’s barracks. Among this group was Lt. Colonel Herbert Nash Dillard, who in 1934, then a first class-man, organised the group as “The VMI Glee Club”.
