  • Members of the Warblers are almost never seen out of their uniform, even when not at school. The only exceptions are Blaine, Kurt, and Sebastian.
  • The Warblers are known for being an a cappella group, but have been aided with instruments on very rare occasions in Blackbird, Somewhere Only We Know, Tightrope and My Sharona.

However, the council was reinstated between Season Five and Season Six, as it is seen in Homecoming.
  • Jane Hayward is the only female to ever perform with the Warblers.
