Eight Beat Measure is an all-male collegiate a cappella group at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
Eight Beat Measure began in 1987 as the RIT Men's Octet . Originally faculty-led and formed as an extension to the RIT Singers, the RIT Men's Octet quickly expanded their horizons and branched into the world of contemporary a cappella . They changed their name to Eight Beat Measure to reflect their new attitude, and expanded from their original eight members. The group's current repertoire consists of songs in the pop, R&B, and indie genres.
