meet at 8pm at Woodlands MRT

See ya guys =D

I'm taking a leaf out of Daniel's book and embedding videos. Nevermind the smaller screen! Here's a group that I quite like hehe well the solo has a lovely tone I think and uh like I said I don't listen to harmony very well. All I know is that the solo is drowned during the chorus >.< But anyway watch the video, and feel her pain. <3

Operator by some unknown group


[Edit] ALSO THIS VIDEO I LOVE THIS VIDEO the group is from Brown U and they came in 2nd in ICCA Semifinals and the lead won Best Solo and she's damn hot omggg *fans self* They are really musical and this is a really good arrangement or something the solo and harmony parts go over each other in turns it's very cooool love love love! [/Edit]

The Higher Keys - Don't Stop Me Now


Ohyea I checked out that Sweet Adelines YouTube competition but there are currently only like 3 videos, all solo, and I only watched one (8-year-old girl with really strong diaphragm powers, clearly much vocal training). Maybe there'll be more later on, will check back in a few weeks lol.

This random blog entry was brought to you by Sali x) Hey all! Since AcaChamps are coming up, I think it would be great if we could watch other groups who are performing similar repertoire to ours. Here are some vids!

VoCollision- Fire
This group's strength in this song lies in the sound that they produce. The accompanying parts blend really well, and the solo stands out well.


Be Sharp- Eternal Flame
For your listening pleasure- this group doesn't really move as much. However they manage to bring out the nature of this song rather well.


Yup, once again best of luck for AcaChamps! Ciao!

-daniel HEY GUYZ,

I have The Videos from today, mwahaha x) Was contemplating putting them on YouTube but realized to my horror that agreeing to sub in solo for you guys meant I was in them too D: So, you may find the videos on the Google Groups. Lol. For private circulation ONLY. Download plz then maybe we can take it off if Google Groups runs out of space. Though I don't see how likely that is, considering our Gmail inbox sizes.

Btw tasvoices (the gmail account you log into Blogger with) is now synched to YouTube so if you want to upload (NICE) videos you can use the gmail account too. Yay!

Hope it was fun! Sucks to those people who weren't around for the coolioz last hour of practice. Hurhurhur xP
