He's showing the scale number of the note he's singing. If you're in the key of C, then C is 1, D is 2, etc going up the scale. Similar to solfege, it's a way to visually represent the music without using a score.
@@BarbershopHarmony Yes, it's just interesting to me how he scrunches up his fingers when it's flat and always does something different with 6 and 7's. I only see it in these videos. Thanks for the reply, though.

I'm always so impressed by how quickly they're able to pick up and remember their parts!
it's a classic tag, chances are most people already know it or have heard it
@@poss420 I know lol, since I left this comment, I’ve gotten pretty good at picking up tags
I cried.. the bass and baritone are sooooo beautiful!!!!
An absolute dream of a Tag.
I’m not a singer but really enjoy listening to these very talented people. I love the instructors energy!!!
Dude I wanna sing with them that sounded so beautiful!
OMG I am so much looking forward to HU 2019....#cantwait
That's my all time favorite tag
@Barbershop Harmony Society It would be greatly appreciated if the descriptions of the tag videos contained timestamps to each part.
That's a great idea!

What is that he’s doing with his hands? I’ve never seen it before.

Does this gestural system have a name, or is it laid out anywhere? I would like to adopt it!
Dave Z does this too
Do you have the sheet music when singing this or do you just learn the part with one or two examples from the teacher?
Where can I learn harmony with numbers? Especially how to understand these symbols he makes with his hands
Like leaves in fall or like leaves will fall?
Like leaves in fall, we'll fall in love...
