UConn Spring 2016 A Capella Rush Concert

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Conn chapter.

Although the UConn A Cappella Association‘s Spring 2016 Rush Concert was rescheduled due to snow, the new date ended up having a silver lining. The association decided to donate fifty percent of the proceeds to HuskyTHON. Before the last group went on the UCACA made an announcement that they would be donating $1,500 to the philanthropic event. 

The show had a large crowd for the 15° weather.  The show ran for an hour and a half, consisting of four coed, three all female and two all male groups. There are nine groups total in the UCACA: Rubyfruit,  A Completely Different Note, Extreme Measures, A Minor, Notes Over Storrs, Chordials, Connmen, Rolling Tones and Drop the Bass.  The groups played a variety of music such as “Ego” by BeyoncĂ©, “Habits (Stay High)/Talking Body” by Tove Lo mashup, “Take it Easy” by The Eagles, “Wildest Dreams” by Taylor Swift, and “Little Toy Guns”by Carrie Underwood.
