New A Cappella group of the week

This weeks new a cappella group of the week is Capital Green from the Michigan State. This group always puts on a great show, with upbeat performances and talented vocalists. This 16 member group has an 11 year history of great music, from perfomances at ICCA to televised specials.

This is Capital Green singing "Loli Loli" at 2009 ICCA quarterfinals.

Enjoy!

7 Days video of the week

This 7 Days video of the week is one of my favorites. This video is Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" sung by Kristi Thompson. This fun country song (why it is one of my favorites) is upbeat and sung by our powerful soloist Kristi.

This classic 7 Days song was sung at Acappella fest in 2009 at the Whole Music Club
Enjoy!

Glee!

Today I would like to talk about the TV show Glee. Glee is an amazingly popular show about a high school glee club. (Just in case you didnt know) This show has become revolutionary for a cappella.

Although the show is not technically a cappella (a cappella does not use intruments, glee does use instruments), it has opened the door for a cappella groups all across the nation.

Glee exposes teens and younger people to the wonder that is a cappella (ish) music and the ability to create wonderful music with your closest friends. People see the show and wonder what else is out there on the internet. They see the show and immediately look into a cappella groups at their universities.

Here is one of my favorite glee clips that started it all!

New A Cappella group of the week

This new a cappella group video of the week continues on the theme of showcasing the groups from our ICCA quarterfinal.

This weeks group is Amazin Blue from the University of Michigan. This talented group always takes the competition by storm. Being a home crowd group, they are always a crowd pleaser. Their 15 members create a unique sound. The group has produced eight CDs and has been featured on BOCA.

This is Amazin Blue singin "Walking on Sunshine".


Enjoy!

7 Days video of the week

This weeks 7 Days video of the week is "Use Somebody" by the Kings of Leon, sung by powerhouse vocalist Patrick Terry.

This song is always a crowd favorite because of its power and energy. Also the song is just pretty darn cool. This is a high energy song that the whole group enjoys to sing

This video is from Acappella Fest last fall in the Whole Music Club in Coffman Memorial Union.

Enjoy

BOCA

Well this post is meant to encourage all of you to get out there and discover some great a capella music. The CD BOCA (Best of collegiate A Cappella) showcases the best groups from all over the country and their recorded music.

These groups submit a copy of their CD into Varsity Vocals (the same company that runs ICCA) and then the BOCA committee looks over the CD's and decided which songs go onto the CD.

The songs that are selected are the best a cappella songs out there and it is an honor to have your song selected.
