Fresh from a West Coast tour in the San Francisco Bay area, the Glee Club brought a spirituals, shanties, music from the 16th century, and even a little Elton John for their Spring Concert Sunday night.
And in the funniest moment of the night, the singers "refused" to perform anymore shanties, staged a make-believe "mutiny" against Glee Club Director Richard Bowen, and had the crowd laughing with their tuneful claims of being "sick of singing about the sea."
