Some a cappella News

It's approaching the end of 2010. Happy Holidays!

Some a cappella news. The second season of NBC's "The Sing-Off" is now airing in North America. For those who didn't watch it last year, it is a national competition among American a cappella groups with money and recording contract prizes. Hong Kong has had the pleasure of hearing several groups from this show, including BYU Noteworthy (they visited in Feb 2010) and the Tufts Beelzebubs - they came in second place last year, and are the voice of the Dalton Academy Warblers on the hit TV show "Glee". This year, two former members of Noteworthy are competing in another group, The Backbeats. Click here to see a low-quality video of their performance (it's amazing!)

In Hong Kong, our very own sing-off will happen this coming Sunday! The 2010 a cappella Music Contest will be held from 10:00 to 16:30 at the HKFYG Building (MTR Quarry Bay Exit C) with 18 groups competing in the Secondary School Division and six groups in the Open Class Division. Last year's winners were Music Shake of the Hong Kong Sai Kung Chorus (Open Class) and Diocesan Girls' School (Secondary School Class).

Also... it's out! Our boys are featured in two songs from Chet and Eman Lam's latest concert CD! We're very excited, it's the first time that our voices are on an actual commercial product!
