Background

Max Q formed in 2002 and began competing in the International Barbershop Quartet Contest in 2004. In each year from 2004 to 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 join Joe Connelly as the only singers with three or more first place finishes.
