Why are All-Female A Cappella Groups So Amazing?

In a recent conversation on CASA.org between CASA president, Juila Hoffman and Deke Sharon, CASA's founder, the two present their own theories as to why they believe all-female a cappella groups are coming up the ranks in the aca world.

***Read how AWESOME all-female a cappella groups are right here!***

In the spirit of the Thanksgiving Holiday that is upon us, I would like to say that I am personally thankful for all of the wonderful all-female a cappella groups I've had the opportunity to work with, as well as ones who are just beginning to get their feet wet in this crazy world of a cappella. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!

ALSO, have you heard about my Facebook Giveaway happening on December 9th? I'll be having a drawing for a Free Catalog Arrangement! All you have to do is "like" me on facebook (and tell all your friends about it, of course). Merry Christmas, y'all!

Keep on Singin' Ladies!

Words Can't Describe...

...how AMAZING this past weekend was!!! Wow, Sojam...you've really outdone yourselves. From the collegiate competition, to Musae, to the professional concert (HOLY %^$ the Boxettes were amazing), everything went so perfectly. For those poor unfortunate souls who were not there, I hope you've cleared your schedule for next November, that's all I'm gonna say about that....oh yeah, and the Boxettes blew mine (and everyone else's) socks off. Bellatrix WHAT?!?! How can someone so little make such big sounds?! I was sitting in the top balcony looking down at the audience and people were literally jumping in their seats in amazement during the Boxettes set. It was unreal.

Also, L's Arrangements was in full swing, looking for potential ladies to collaborate with, making wonderful friends, passing out business cards, and listening to fantastic groups perform at random spots on Duke University's beautiful campus. It was aca heaven. I got some orders for interesting custom arrangements (SuperBass/Teenage Dream mashup?! Yep, that's happening) and I got some really helpful feedback for the website. Do YOU have any comments/suggestions to spice things up a bit in my catalog arrangements section? Let me know!

ALSO *drumroll*............................................
I'm going to be giving away a FREE catalog arrangement of YOUR group's choice in the next few weeks!!!! Just "like" me on my facebook page and I will do the drawing in December. Stay tuned!

Okay, this tired little one is off to bed. Keep Singin' Ladies! :)

SoJam in t-minus 48 hours!!!

As a (very busy) volunteer for SoJam 2011, I just made my weekend itinerary. Just to give you a small preview of what my weekend will consist of, here is a screenshot of my Saturday:

Besides the fact that I will be living, breathing, and eating ARRANGING this weekend, I am SO super pumped about the professional show on Saturday night. Remember Naturally7? Yeah, that's what I thought. Oh, and the Boxettes? Yeah, not a big deal or anything. HOLY CRAP!!! I'm especially excited about the Boxettes - talk about some girl power, Brits! "Free" is so sick it's just stupid. Even if it's not your taste (I admit, they can be a little on the strange side), this song is just so sexy. Loves it. No. LURVES it. Oh yeah, I'm also kind of inappropriate sometimes but that's okay...we all shout "Spring Break" sometimes, right?

If you can't tell, I'm pretty pumped about this weekend. Plus, I get to tell everyone about L's Arrangements and how awesome it is! Speaking of which, have you been doing that?

Have a great night everyone, and Keep on Singin' Ladies!!!
