My a cappella group just had a gig last weekend, which was our first big concert of the semester. I\u2019m in the Night Owls, which is one of the all-female a cappella groups here on campus. Our claim to fame is that we\u2019re also the oldest continuous, all-female jazz a cappella group in the United States! Woo! Anyway, last Friday night we had a joint concert with the Axies (Accidentals), Vassar\u2019s all-male group. It was in a lecture hall on campus, and it was probably the most packed I\u2019d ever seen that room\u2026 people were absolutely crammed in there\u2014we could barely even walk in to start singing, which was really amazing to perform in front of! Even though I\u2019ve been in the group for three years at this point, I definitely still get nervous before performances, but the audience was awesome. We had practiced with the Axies a few times that week, and they learned one of our songs (White Winter Hymnal by the Fleet Foxes) and we learned one of theirs (Drift Away by Dobie Gray). They\u2019re all great performers\u2026 they had a new arrangement of Stacy\u2019s Mom by Fountains of Wayne, which was hilarious. We have a bunch more gigs coming up, so if you\u2019re interested, check out our website!<\/p>\n
