SUNY Potsdam Stay Tuned

In honor of the 2017 ICCA tournament, The A Cappella Blog pursued short interviews with competing groups to develop insights into why and how groups approach competition, and to get appropriately excited for the tremendous shows ahead of us.

What’s your group name and on what date is your group’s quarterfinal?

Stay Tuned! Our quarterfinal date is February 25th, 2017 at Hosmer Hall in Potsdam, NY.

How long has your group been around? Have you competed before?

Stay Tuned! Our quarterfinal date is February 25th, 2017 at Hosmer Hall in Potsdam, NY.

Why are you competing this year? What does your group hope to accomplish or get out of the experience?

Our members find that past ICCA performances have allowed us to bond and grow as a musical family, and we are thrilled to have this opportunity yet again. Our mission statement is to redefine a cappella; we hope to stand by this, performing a set that combines various genres and styles in a unique and wildly entertaining way! All we can ask is that this ICCA is as rewarding as those of the past, and that we get to meet some great people who share our love of music.

How is your group preparing for competition?

We voted upon and began to prepare our ICCA set. This winter break, we will be performing a tour on Long Island, encompassing old and new repertoire. Once we return to Potsdam for the semester, we will further rehearse music and choreography. 

If you were to describe your group, or the set your group is planning for competition with just three words, what would they be?

Vivacious, innovative, and exhilarating.
