Purduettes
Sparkling Song
These women have their own “Rosie the Riveter” story — the foundation of their present-day mojo.
The Purduettes formed in 1942 during World War II when the Glee Club men marched off to service. As a result, thirteen women were chosen as the first Purduettes to serve as ambassadors for Purdue University and perform throughout the United States.
Today, the Purduettes posses their own dynamic identity and glee club sound. Glitz, energy, polish, vibrancy and resonance defines the Purduettes. These women are handpicked for their vocal talents to represent Purdue with superlative, feminine leadership.
The Purduettes travel the country, performing an engaging repertoire of jazz, country, pop, show tunes, classics and more. With specially arranged music, their concerts swing, and each member is a potential soloist. The Purduettes always present a wide variety of songs to entertain crowds of all types and sizes.
