Brothers in Arms. Brothers in Song.
A West Point vocal brotherhood formed during Cadet Basic Training in 1989. Across decades of service, reunion, and song, Six Pack has honored America and carried friendship forward in harmony.
Background from Doug McInvale
From their first days singing cadences in military formation at o-dark-thirty during Cadet Basic Training in 1989, the members of Six Pack have found strength and unity in music. The catchy name for this six-member group also represents their connectedness. As vocal ambassadors, Six Pack formed a bond with their Army mates and with each other that is rooted in the warrior ethos. As cadets, they entertained America.
Across more than three decades as a group, Six Pack has sung for Academy and Olympic events, members of Congress, and Presidents. They opened dozens of sporting events with the National Anthem, appeared on nationally televised programs, and traveled as a specialty group of the West Point Glee Club for more than 50 performances.
“Their legacy of military service and musical friendship continues today.”
What began as a college singing group became a vibrant musical partnership across each member’s career as an officer in the United States Army. The members of Six Pack have led in peace and fought in war. These soldiers and their loving families have endured deployments to more than a dozen countries.
Among the group are Airborne Rangers, Chaplains, Aviators, and leaders in the Military Intelligence, Signal, Logistics, and Infantry branches of the Army. Collectively, they span 162 years of uniformed service.
The legacy in numbers
The Group
Paul Lima founded the group. The current archive names these core members and additional voices who have carried the Six Pack legacy forward.
Credit where it belongs
COL H.D. “Doug” McInvale ’93 and MSG Michael Reifenberg are the co-writers of “Duty, Honor, Country.” Their words and music transformed the Academy motto into a new song for cadets, graduates, families, and the Long Gray Line.
Six Pack debuted the composition at a 2018 West Point memorial service. The West Point Glee Club later recorded and released a signature version, and cadet voices have carried the music far beyond the Academy.
