The Humtones, Haverford’s oldest all-male a cappella group, celebrated its 30th birthday on March 19 with a show in Marshall Auditorium featuring members from its many eras. From golden oldies (“Blue Moon,” Bowie’s “Changes”) to new hits, the Humtones spanned generations with their harmonious and sometimes silly song stylings. Proof of everyone’s good time is in the pics. (Hint: click to enlarge.)
