Formed in 2008 in San Marcos, Texas, the Marcsmen were made up mostly of Texas State University students who wanted to enter the inaugural Barbershop Harmony Society Youth Chorus competition in 2008. 28 members took the stage for that contest under the direction of Brent Dunavant and were awarded the trophy as the overall winner.
Over the last 11 years we have continued to be led by Brent Dunavant and have earned five runner-up finishes in district competition, district championships in 2012, 2018, 2019, and five top-20 finishes at the Barbershop Harmony Society's International Competition.
International appearances:
2011 - Kansas City, Missouri - 20th place
2013 - Toronto, Ontario - 13th place
2015 - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - 20th place
2018 - Orlando, Florida - 13th place
2019 - Salt Lake City, Utah - 11th place with a score of 85.2, our highest score ever!
We won our third, and back-to-back, Southwestern District championship in 2019 that earned us a berth to the BHS international competition in Charlotte, NC in 2022!
