A capella groups like pitchperfect9/1/2023 ![]() We’re competing against nine other a cappella groups (which I guess is like Pitch Perfect). ICCA stands for International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella. We are competing in the 2019 ICCA Great Lakes a cappella competition that is happening this Saturday at the Athenaeum Theatre in Chicago at 7 pm. This year, we’ve decided to really challenge ourselves. Even our rehearsals aren’t just another practice session it’s a chance to catch up with our friends, to laugh about old jokes, challenge ourselves, and just do what we love. This gives us an even greater connection to the music, and gives our members chances to show off more than just our singing. All of the songs that we have sung have been arranged by one of our members. One of the most interesting things that I love about this group, though, are our arrangements that we sing. With such a small ensemble, every person counts, and this challenges us even more. I don’t have eight other women singing my part that could help me if I mess up. However, Identity Crisis’ small size gives room for even more opportunities, not just as a group, but as a soloist as well. It’s an incredible opportunity to be able to sing with such amazing and talented women. Even now, I am in Cantala, Lawrence University’s all women choir. All of these different groups have given me different experiences. ![]() I have sung in ensembles ever since elementary school, and I’ve been in all women and mixed groups, as well as vocal jazz ensembles. In fact, it gives us the ability to be a more close-knit group, with the smaller number giving us more of a chance to give each person a voice. Unlike most larger groups, there are only 8 members in our ensemble. ![]() My group, Identity Crisis, was created last year by several students interested in having another a cappella group on campus besides Appletones. But it is not just what is shown on the big screen. Like Beca from Pitch Perfect, I too am in an a cappella group. However, that is not what all a cappella is like. They imagine Anna Kendrick performing on stage with the rest of the Barden Bellas, and winning the competition. When you think of a cappella groups, most people think of Pitch Perfect.
