Like with sports teams, music people can sometimes be dicks about other groups. This school and all the groups that come from it are exempt from my bias because they're so much better than we were. Plus I have man envy. Look at all the dudes in this. Those are all men! You know how hard it is to find male singers for choir? My teacher pulled a Glee before that was a thing and essentially bribed normal students into joining. Legit we gave her a hit list at the beginning of each semester. It's different for these guys. One: it's a university. Two: It's a religious university. Which doesn't really mean anything except most religions have a place for choral music. So it's got a huge music program that is well respected and evolved. Another difference is it's not an automatic in. You have to audition and be excepted which ensures everyone is there because they want to be and are committed. These guys make me miss choir and miss being part of a unit, and I am in awe of their talent. I hope you are too.
Today is for a song with no percussion. Which everyone thought was super easy until I pointed out that percussion includes more than just drums. My grandma used the one my mom didn't want with Don't Worry Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin. My mom went with Friends O' Mine by Bowling For Soup, and Will settled on Walk On The Wild Side by Blue Reed. Anna said White Keys by Chilly Gonzales, Sammy took the longest but said Two Lips (Acoustic) by Hoodie Allen.
Peace.
