That was back right after Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield's ear in a boxing match. FRED did that gag in the set the previous day. The lead got "mad" at the tenor and bit his ear. So the tenor wore a band-aid on it.

I had the privilege back in 2008 to sing Tenor in a polecat with FRED at a teacher's convention they performed at! I approached the bass after the show and told him I was a barbershop director and we went into the foyer to find the other guys so we could sing together. I held my own really well but I was panicking that I would screw it up!! What a great bunch of guys!

Having watched their rise from the beginning it the Dixie District, the best answer we ever got was it stands for FRED! A comedy quartet of four really enthusiatic dudes that sing fanasticaly well. Three of them sang together in various other comedy quatets before the bass joined them. They have always been very entertaining. Wally Stewart
