SoCal VoCals update

The field is set for the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella in New York City next Saturday! The event will be held at the Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall, the 2,738-seat venue where the New York Philharmonic plays.

As I mentioned previously, the USC SoCal VoCals advanced to the finals for the first time ever by earning the West Region championship on March 15. At the time I wrote that, however, the identities of most of their competitors were still to be determined.

Well, the last semifinal was held six days ago, so now the full field is known. The VoCals will compete against Oxford University Out of the Blue (Western Europe champion), Northwestern University Purple Haze (Midwest champion), Florida State University All-Night Yahtzee (South champion), New York University N'Harmonics (Northeast champion) and Ithaca College Ithacappella (Mid-Atlantic champion).

You hear that, Kristy? USC vs. Ithaca! Oh, it's ON!!

Fight on, Trojans! Beat the Seminoles, Wildcats, Violets, Bombers and... um... Oxons?

P.S. Here's the official ICCA website, including a link to buy tickets. I wish I could go! Alas, I don't think a random trip to New York City is in the cards. But if any of y'all are in the area, I'd recommend it. I'm sure it'll be an amazing show.

P.P.S. Newly discovered site: The A Cappella Blog. Cool.
