Happy Hump Day!

This past weekend was all about family for me. After a “cousins retreat” to Boston, we decided to record an a cappella version of “Weak” – it’s safe to say trying to rehearse and record in the same day was ambitious.

Check out our train to dysfunction junction, and the closest thing to a harmony we recorded all day.

J Events: Cherry Tree Massacre and Battle of the Voices

ayminor

Super late post! Despite being in an a cappella group on Penn’s campus for three years, two weeks ago was the first time I was able to see some groups from a different school perform at the “Cherry Tree Massacre” hosted by the Georgetown Chimes.

I wasn’t able to get any video (I was dying to pull out my phone, but for once there wasn’t a phone in sight), so I’ll skip my analysis/comparisons (for now), and focus on my stand out performance for the night by the Georgetown Phantoms!

I was blown away by their “Chain of Fools” soloist, Enushé Khan (she killed it!), and the arrangement was great as well.

In looking for some video to share from the event, I came across audition footage of Enushé (below) for a talent competition presented by the Georgetown University’s Black Student Alliance. “Battle of the Voices” will be the first Washington metropolitan collegiate singing competition!

Check out their site to see additional audition footage for all the competitors — I wish they had something like this at Penn when I was an undegrad! If you’re in the DC area, Battle of the Voices will be held on Feb. 28th at Georgetown University.

It’s that time of year again!! Yesterday I made my way to Philly for my a cappella group’s spring 2013 show, Keep It Chordial. It was a great weekend filled with laughs, love, and of course, beautiful music. So good to see my ‘89 fam!

’89, iSing!

Below are a few of the night’s great performances.  Hopefully I will upload the rest this week!

Watch the Inspiration perform “Only Wanna Give It To You” (originally by Elle Varner and J. Cole) below. (I was beeming from ear to ear to see my fellow alto and little sister Aleisha killing it, confident as ever!!!)

If you are often on my blog, you know I love a good acoustic performance. Watch Wes performance an original entitled “So Much I’ve Yet to Know.”

Perhaps not the conventional choice for a show’s closer, the final performance was BRILLIANT.

A MUST WATCH!
