baritone section

The most energetic, drug fueled niggas in the band. We know how to have fun at football games and are really fucking good at doing shit right. We enjoy building retarted shit on our Minecraft realms. Were also on each others dicks most of the time leading to major bullying. Other than that we are fucking awesome.
Yo, there goes the best fucking section in the band, the fucking baritone section.

Aight we gonna build a giant cock.

Baritone Sax Player

The back bone of most jazz bands and Marching Bands. Typically a very Bad-ass person is assigned to this position. Some prefer to use harnesses, but the most Bad-ass ones use neck-straps. Sometimes referred to as "Beasts"

Baritone

Band instrument. In concert band, it looks something like a smaller version of the tuba. Only slightly different than the euphonium (a baritone has more cylindrical tubing while a euphonium's tubing is more conical in shape.) In marching band, it resembles a "trumpet on steroids." Great instrument, often played by very interesting people.
That baritone section sure knows how to make a rich, meaty low brass sound.

baritone

The medium male singing voice in opera and non-classical music (although in choir, baritones must either choose the tenor or bass part). Baritones in opera have a range from G2 (the second G below middle C) to G4 (above middle C). This is the most common male voice type.

Sitting between the tenor and bass, the baritone typically plays supporting roles (fathers, older men, servants, friends of the hero) as well as the villain: corrupt legal authorities, evil prison wardens, and other nasty characters. Often teamed with the mezzo-soprano.

Many pop singers and Broadway singers are baritones, although the vocal categories used in opera are not applied to them. Examples include Robert Goulet, Elvis Presley, Mark Salling, Michael Buble, Bruce Springsteen, Jim Morrison, Ringo Starr, Eddie Vedder, John Cougar Mellencamp, David Lee Roth, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Neil Diamond, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Johnny Cash, Tim Curry, Philip Quast, and Leonard Cohen
According to vocal weight/voice type, baritones are divided into at least four subcategories:

Lyric baritone: a light, mellow voice without the harshness of the dramatic baritones, he usually plays the comic relief. Examples include Thomas Allen, Thomas Hampson, Robert Merrill, Simon Keenlyside, and Nathan Gunn.

Cavalier baritone: a lyric baritone with a strong dramatic edge, albeit not a true dramatic voice. Plays powerful, virile characters. This is not a common voice.

Verdi baritone: Subset of the dramatic baritone, specializing in roles by Giuseppe Verdi; should have strong high notes and lots of squillo ("ping"). Examples include Tito Gobbi, Leonard Warren, Carlos Alvarez, and Dmitry Hvorostovsky.

Dramatic baritone: A powerful, rich, full, sometimes harsh voice reserved for many villains in opera. Examples include Juan Pons, Norman Bailey, and Tom Krause.

Bass-baritone: coming in both lyric and dramatic timbres, this voice combines the depth of the bass with the tessitura of the baritone. Examples include Bryn Terfel, George London, and Hans Hotter.

Barryton

A podunk town located in central lower Michigan, 35 miles from Central Michigan University. Known for its dilapidated bar, Murphy's, Barryton does not have a stop light. It's one of those towns that Alan Jackson sings about- where everyone knows you; the only beef you'll ever eat is butchered and sold at Hometown Grocery and going to Wal Mart is an all day, precisely planned trip. In Barryton you can't take a shit without the entire population knowing and gossiping about it, and the loss of one person is a loss for the entire town. The majority of Barryton's youth congregates at the sandhill where alot of fun is to be had.Located on M66, Barryton it's a "don't blink" kind of town.
Barrytoner 1: "Hey what's goin' on tonight?"

Barrytoner 2: "Oh, we're headin' up to Murph's for a few and then goin' to the sandhill with our quads. You up for it?"

Barrytoner 1: "Yeah I'm down for Murph's but I gotta open at William's in the mornin'"
