Vocal Orchestration Corporation
Johnny --- Troy --- Bobby --- Larry
Organized in 1980, the Vocal Orchestration Corporation stuck together through "thick and thin." (Their waists got thicker and their hair thinner, but they kept on plugging.) The VOC became the 1981 Southwestern District Quartet Champions of the SPEBSQSA. They entertained audiences throughout Oklahoma and surrounding states. The quartet members were from Lawton and Duncan, Oklahoma. These versatile fellows did some changing around on what part they sang, so part of the fun of hearing them was trying to figure out what part they were singing on different songs.
