THE A CAPPELLA LIFE

A cappella rocks. Plain and simple.

Being a freshman on a college campus has the wonderful ability to make you seem incredibly tiny, and perhaps even insignificant. Everyone tells you to "join something," but in the sea of mass meetings and emails, it's fairly easy to drown if you don't tread carefully.

What most people want, coming to college, is an opportunity to do something they love, and to join a community that really brings out their strengths and character. For me, I found this through A Cappella.

The University of Michigan has a thriving set of very powerful a cappella groups. Not only have some of our groups made it to the ICCA finals, but all of our groups hold themselves to a standard of musical excellence that would be incredibly challenging to find elsewhere.

On top of that, a cappella at Michigan is a thriving, living community. You have the opportunity to make friends in these groups that will quite literally last a lifetime. Being part of a group this year, I can say that the friends I made and the people I met have changed my life immensely, and I can't imagine what my college experience would be like without the a cappella experience.

The wonderful thing about the Michigan campus is that there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in whatever you're into. A cappella groups generally hold auditions in the fall, (a limited, changing number hold auditions in the winter) so make sure that if this is something you're interested in, you don't miss out on an incredible, life changing opportunity.
