I don't know about that, I think they're checking in to ties with the Bellingham High Glee Club. It seems Lee Malvo was apparently a Tenor II, but was summarily dismissed because he tended to end each line with, "...mon".
A number of students sided with Malvo and cited racism as a possible factor in his removal from the club. It is not clear, however, whether any threats he or his supporters made were to be taken seriesly.
