Hopkins Wednesday Noon Series
Begins with "Doo Wop Cops"
D.C.'s Finest, a Washington D.C.-based a
cappella group, will open the Spring 2003 Wednesday Noon
Series at The Johns Hopkins University on Feb. 5 with a
performance, "Doo Wop Cops." This group of active and
retired Washington, D.C., police officers will perform
nostalgic renditions of songs of the past as well as some
current hits. Their unique singing style explains why they
are regarded as one of the best a cappella groups in
the country.
Presented by the Johns Hopkins Office of Special
Events, the Wednesday Noon Series is now in its 37th season
of cultural programming on the Homewood campus. All programs
in the series are held on Wednesdays from noon to 1 p.m. in

in Baltimore. They are open to the public and admission is
