}}Max Q is the barbershop quartet that won the gold medal Barbershop Harmony Society International Barbershop Quartet Contest at Denver's Pepsi Center July 7, 2007.[1]

The quartet's run for the title is featured in the 2009 feature documentary American Harmony.[2]

Background

Max Q formed in 2002 and began competing in the International Barbershop Quartet Contest in 2004. In 2004, 2005, and 2006, Max Q finished in second place to Gotcha!, Realtime, and Vocal Spectrum in consecutive years. In 2007, Max Q won by a 286-point margin, over OC Times in second place with Storm Front in third.

Max Q is specifically notable in that all four members have prior experience in championship-level quartets and choruses. With their 2007 win, DeRosa and Oxley joined Joe Connelly and Kipp Buckner as the only singers with three or more first-place finishes. DeRosa and Connelly have since gone on to win a record fourth gold medal with Main Street and Old School respectively.
