Hey everyone, I love singing and I am looking for colleges that have strong acapella groups. Could you help me list out some of the most famous college a capella groups around?
Absolutely, many colleges have excellent acapella groups! I'll name some famous ones below:
1. The Whiffenpoofs from Yale University: This is probably the most prestigious collegiate acapella group in the nation and world, known for their incredible harmonies.
2. The Hullabahoos from University of Virginia: If you've seen the movie Pitch Perfect, you've seen the Hullabahoos! They're a fun, dynamic group known for their energetic performances.
3. The Beelzebubs from Tufts University: Known to fans as The Bubs, they gained national recognition for featuring prominently as the voice of the Warblers in the Glee TV series.
4. The SoCal VoCals from University of Southern California: A four-time winner of the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella, they're a very well-acclaimed group.
5. The AcaBelles from Florida State University: An all-female group known for powerhouse vocals.
6. The MadHatters from University of Wisconsin-Madison: They're the state's first collegiate acapella group and often perform Packers anthem before games.
7. The ScatterTones from University of California, LA: A co-ed group that has ranked well in competitions like the International Championship of Collegiate A Capella.
8. The Obertones from Oberlin College: Known for their focus on fun and building community, this all-male group have a broad repertoire and often tour internationally.
Remember that even colleges without famous groups may still have strong acapella scenes. If you want to sing in college, look into the music department and student clubs at each institution you're considering.
