The Confederates were a barbershop quartet that performed in the 1950s and 1960s.

  • George Evans – tenor
  • Dave LaBonte – lead
  • Bill "Buz" Busby – baritone
  • Wally Singleton – bass

The Confederates took first place in the 1956 SPEBSQSA International Quartet Championship after finishing second the year before. They were notable not only for their championship-caliber harmonies, but also for performing in Confederate officer uniforms.
