The Whiffenpoofs are comprised of 14 senior male students from Yale University. Founded in 1909, the "Whiffs" began as a senior quartet that met for weekly concerts at a Yale tavern. They're now the world's oldest and best-known collegiate a cappella group.

The event will be special for one of the members of the group. Luke Stringer, a senior majoring in architectural studies, is a 2013 Oologah graduate. 

The show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students.

The group will perform in Tulsa later in the week and will sing the National Anthem at Saturday's homecoming game at the University of Oklahoma.
