Okay, so what is a "Tag"?The short answer? It's a little snippet of a song.The longer (and better) answer? A barbershop "tag" can be defined, in music theory terms, as: the last few measures at the end of a barbershop song, during which the song's harmonic and dramatic tension are heightened before a final resolution in the last measure. A "tag" is roughly analogous to a "Coda" in Classical music theory. Many tags are good enough to be sung as short, stand-alone works of music. The stand-alone nature of a tag is the reason tags are popular among the barbershop harmony community. Four strangers who have never sung together before, and who probably do not share a common song repertoire with each other, can teach each other a tag relatively quickly, and can therefore enjoy creating harmony together that much quicker.
