Biography
We are the Knights of Carleton, we've come to sing for you
To bring some cheer, to warble a song–that's what we aim to do
It is our true desire to entertain you through and through (and through)
So if you like us, well that's fine. And if not, that's too bad–for you.
Yes, we're the Knights of Carleton (oh yes we are)
~lyrics by Larry Gregg '61
In the fall of 1955, Dixon Bond '59 arrived on the campus of Carleton College intending to start a male octet. Soon thereafter, Dixon and seven other Carleton men formed a group called the Carltunes. An old album jacket claims the Carltunes "put on their first show after only three days rehearsal!" It wasn't long before the Carltunes changed their name to the Carleton Singing Knights and began to form the traditions that make the Knights such an important part of Carleton past and present.
